Grants and Contributions

The primary focus of the research is on learning about and/or testing theories, methods and approaches and their broad applicability in health services and policy research.

• Guided by interdisciplinary approaches to HSPR, researchers use a range of novel theories, frameworks, methods and tools to understand, observe and/or measure phenomena related to health service interventions and policies (e.g., methods to integrate an intersectional lens in equity-focused HSPR, advancing embedded research roles and activities, evidence synthesis and support for decision-making, improving theoretical understanding of how policy interventions adapt to varying contexts and population needs, equity-focused priority setting and resource allocation, strengthening methodological approaches to analyzing and reporting data to inform decision-making, advancing Learning Health Systems and rapid research approaches, and more), and to enhance the impact of HSPR on policy and practice

Activities include: 1) training health managers and health care providers to deliver high quality health services, including obstetric care; 2) rehabilitating health centers and providing essential medical equipment; 3) raising awareness of local populations on the benefits of public health services, including on the right to health; and, informing and engaging the Canadian public on maternal, newborn and child health issues in Haiti through media campaigns and learning events.
This initiative is expected to contribute directly to the improved health of approximately 400,000 beneficiaries, as well as to improved knowledge on maternal, newborn and child health issues in Haiti for approximately 6,000 Canadians.

TransCare+ will: 1) Develop a public-facing executive summary of the project's plan for engaging in community-based research that includes the findings from the comprehensive baseline data collection, 2) Synthesize research findings into accessible graphics, visual fact sheets, and educational social media posts/videos for wider distribution, 3) Develop and deliver a youth-led recommendations-for-practice document that includes an analysis of research findings and action steps, 4) Create an e-learning module based on research findings for each of the groups: RLQGD youth/survivors, secondary survivors & GBV service providers, 5) Work with the youth community outreach and research facilitators to engage RLQGD youth in knowledge-sharing, and 6) Host a virtual knowledge-sharing symposium for rurally located GBV service providers, to share information on the research findings.

TIES will produce a final report document and publish two peer-reviewed scholarly articles that they will share with other organizations and WAGE’s GBV Learning Centre to disseminate their findings to be replicated or expanded upon in the future.
