Projects
Our projects respond to gaps in health and social services using knowledge synthesis, mixed methodologies, and community-engaged outreach.
Our mixed-methods research approach seeks to co-design evidence-based strategies with our research partners, to improve the health and wellbeing of all citizens, and especially those who face multiple complexities in their lives due to structural forces beyond their control.
