15. Research Themes Public health
Three themes:
Risks to health – ex: modifiable causes of cancer and HIV/AIDS, potential links between behaviour or the environment and a given disease.
Global health – action-research in developing countries – health care equity, maternal mortality, chronic diseases and access to health care, consultancy service for health infrastructure projects.
Health care system and services – health care system as a determinant of health, impact of modes of service organization on clinical practices, service quality and access to front-line services.
Integration of researchers from regional health boards and the Institut national de santé publique du Québec
Ensures the link between basic and clinical research with regard to the behavioural and environmental (social and physical) bases of disease development.
