WHAT IS CHAIM?

The Canadian Health Adaptations, Innovations, & Mobilization (CHAIM) Centre brings to the forefront the need to adapt the evidence and discourse regarding human health to meet the unique political, social and environmental conditions that exist in Canada, and to bring Canadian research to address global health issues.​

The CHAIM Centre was established in 2015 to raise awareness of how approaches to human health must be adapted to adequately respond to unique political, social and environmental conditions.​

OUR GOAL IS
​TO SHARE HEALTH RESEARCH

  • with researchers across disciplines in order to foster trans-disciplinary collaborations and research initiatives
  • ​with the public to enable informed decision-making and the absorption of knowledge
In many cases the causes, prevention, and treatment strategies associated with disease and illnesses generalize across populations. In some instances, however, public and population health is better served by interventions framed by an understanding of the political, cultural, social, and environmental context, along with the Canadian health legislation, policies, regulations, and health funding structures.
 
Canada’s social demographic is changing, with Indigenous peoples and immigrants being the fastest growing populations. Canada’s socio-cultural context means that particular populations are differentially treated within the health care system, and their issues are differentially attended to.
 
Taken together, the distinctive Canadian context points to a need for research to evaluate the applicability of health knowledge, technologies, and strategies, and to create innovative and equitable approaches that adapt to the needs of all Canadians.
