Axis director: Dr. Bruno Piedboeuf, Université Laval.

This axis aims to 1) ensure that the research objectives of the network researchers and initiatives led by the network are aligned with the strategic objectives of Quebec health institutions: MSSS, INESSS, INSPQ; 2) establish a modus operandi between researchers and decision-makers, allowing the network’s research results relevant to Quebec health institutions to be communicated to decision-makers. 3) Promote the networking of population data in Quebec in the service of children’s health.

This axis supports 1) the evaluation of the effectiveness of services, interventions and policies targeting the health and psychosocial problems of children; 2) the development of methods for the modeling of longitudinal data, the analysis of administrative data and the evaluation of new implementations; 3) the training of the next generation (researchers, administrators) in an interdisciplinary context involving stakeholders (families, decision-makers, clinicians, researchers),
