Congratulations to Dr. Jennifer Black and PhD candidate Claire Tugault-Lafleur for their successful CIHR application to the special call for operating grants related to using Canadian Community Health Survey Data (CCHS-Nutrition Analysis Competition). In 2015, Statistics Canada carried out a nation-wide survey of what Canadians eat, making CCHS-2015 the first survey of national dietary habits since 2004 and only the second national nutrition survey since the 1970s.  This study will take advantage of this valuable opportunity to combine information from these two nutrition surveys to answer important questions about what children eat during school hours, how diets have changed over time and whether different cities and provinces have fared better when it comes to what children eat at school.
A special thank you goes out to Nick Grant and Susan Barr for their input and expertise on this grant application.
