Challenges and Solutions

About the Lecture
The first mandate of Dr. Carabin's Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Epidemiology and One Health has helped to recognize the importance of the One Health approach during crises, but also to highlight the epidemiological challenges encountered in identifying the underlying causes of population health status or health behaviours.
The overall objective of the second mandate will be to incorporate advanced epidemiological methods to investigate complex One Health issues in Canada (Axis 1) and in low-income countries (Axis 2).
In this lecture, Dr. Carabin will discuss some of the challenges encountered during the first mandate and the solutions that will be incorporated into the second mandate of her CRC.
