In preparation for the Technoscience and Regulation Research Unit (TRRU) Public Health Governance’s focus groups, we have been working on background information about the Canadian public’s perceptions of public health within the CIHR funded co-investigator’s team by exploring the use of secondary analysis of qualitative research, as well as a more conventional literature review. We presented our work at the CPHA 2024 in Halifax, April 23-25, 2024. This meant too many references for the poster! – They and the poster are below:
