The University of Toronto and University of Waterloo are among the recipients of a recent $6.6M federal investment into research projects that address public health evidence gaps. U of T will receive $973K to develop a pan-Canadian public health data system that monitors perinatal opioid use and its impact on maternal and child health. UWaterloo will receive $766K to enhance the tracking of mental health conditions among individuals in home care or long-term care settings. [T]hese organizations will help us have a better understanding of how people are affected by various conditions, help guide how to best support them and inform broader public health actions, said Canadian Minister of Health Mark Holland.
