Grant: Randomized Controlled Trials: Mentoring

This Training Grant will allow Dr Persaud, a family doctor, to build his capacity to conduct randomized clinical trials that will improve family medicine. The project that will be developed during the training period will determine whether xylitol (or birch sugar) prevents ear infections in young children. This is an example of the type of practical trials that Dr Persaud will develop during his career. All of the trials Dr Persaud develops will address common problems that are important to patients.
