Grant: Planning and Dissemination Grant - Institute Community Support

Healthy living is a cornerstone of disease prevention and improvement of health. And, while most Canadians know that healthy eating can prevent obesity, they may not appreciate their own dietary pattern, its associated health risks, and ways of improving it. With this grant support, our team of healthcare professionals and researchers will develop and disseminate a web-based, patient-centred Dietary Pattern Calculator that addresses this gap by providing a personalized estimate of dietary pattern and the obesity risk associated with the reported dietary pattern (based on our previous, nationally-representative study), as well as providing individualized suggestions on how to improve dietary patterns to be in line with established dietary recommendations.
