Multi-jurisdictional epidemiological research in Canada: Challenges and opportunities
This webinar is part of the Power of Population Data Science Series
Canada’s federal structure creates complexities for pan-Canadian health research. Although the healthcare system is funded at both the provincial and federal government level, responsibility for managing healthcare falls to provinces and territories (PTs). In the areas of mental illness and substance use more specifically, capacity for data collection and reporting varies across PTs.
