This program of research brings together researchers, children and their families and practitioners from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds. The aim of our work is to support child health by "engaging children, supporting families and (re)discovering health knowledge together". We are funded by a grant from the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (2013-2017). We know that health is mu

ltifaceted - with physical, mental, social and spiritual realms. We are interested in exploring health as a "whole" concept in children and building measures and evidence for child health that captures this complex and holistic view. At the core of this research program are children and families, and an understanding that we can undertake innovative new research as well as learn from rediscovering some fundamental notions about what it means to be healthy. There is a HUGE body of knowledge about child health, but we still face many challenges. Child health 2.0 is about asking kids about their own health in the modern age (engaging children), figuring out how families can be supported to enhance child health (supporting families) and discovering or rediscovering notions of health that help us capture and build it as a holistic or integrated concept.

The latest public health crisis? Canadian kids going hungry with Dr. Elizabeth Lee Ford Jones

Dr. Elizabeth Lee Ford Jones from University of Toronto and the Hospital for Sick Kids has a lot to say about child poverty, health and hunger in Canadian society. She notes that it is social determinants of health (e.g., social and physical environments, level of affluence, housing, food security) that are the most important determinants of health among Canadian children. She calls for action...what do you think should be done?
