Grant: CIHR Café Scientifique Program

This Café Scientifique will provide a forum to briefly share how sex and gender-based analysis can be applied to evidence of different kinds of evidence related to the concept of women and healthy living (discourse, documents, survey data, etc.). The panelists will describe their findings from a recent study, for example regarding media and public education strategies that can distract from more critical factors that enhance or hinder women's ability to reach a healthy life in Canada. These include income, food security, housing and full participation in society. Members of the audience will be invited to ask questions and to make comments and provide their perspectives of the current emphasis on healthy living in Canada.
