Grant: Knowledge Synthesis Grant

In Canada,many recent studies have shown that children's health is affected by their environment. The consequences of children's exposure to environmental toxins can have serious repercussions for their health and well-being, as well as for society, particularly as concerns education and health costs. This knowledge synthesis and transfer project will work with a national stakeholder advisory group to provide decision-makers and front-line service providers with easy access to up-to-date, user-friendly information describing what is currently known about the impact of the environment on children's health and what policies and interventions are effective in addressing these impacts. The information gathered will be presented in the upcoming 4th edition of the Canadian Institute of Child Health's Online Profile of Children's Health.
