Injury in British Columbia’s Aboriginal Communities: Building Capacity while Developing Knowledge (RISC project)

This CHIR-funded research project examines the relationship between cultural continuity and injury in Indigenous communities. We worked with communities throughout BC to collect their own epidemiological data, and we linked administrative datasets spanning 25 years, comparing risk of injury for Indigenous peoples compared to the total BC population.

New Canadian Children and Youth Study (NCCYS)

The NCCYS examines the health and well-being of immigrant and refugee children (n~4,500) across urban areas in Canada. It is a national, longitudinal study and includes families from 16 ethnic backgrounds. Six of these families are located in the Lower Mainland. NCCYS is funded by CIHR and the investigative team spans eight Canadian universities and two phases of data collection.
