The BCCEWH was founded with several university and community partners.
Many of these partners have worked with us on research or knowledge translation
projects over the past ten years. In addition, new partnerships have formed.
We have Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with the Canadian Centre on Substance
Abuse (CCSA) and the Key Centre for Women’s Health in Society at the University
of Melbourne in Australia; these memoranda indicate our mutual commitment
to a long-term partnership to improve women’s health.
BCCEWH is also involved in several important research collaborations. Among
our partners are groups such as NEXUS, a research unit at the University of British
Columbia studying the social context of health behaviour; ICEBERGS, an interdisciplinary
team researching gender and lung health; FACET, studying family behaviours
linked to tobacco eduction; and the Farm Family Health project of PrioNet
Canada, studying the social effects of prion disease in rural Canada. We participate
in, or lead, several networks, such as the Women’s Health Research Network
of BC, the Provincial Women’s Health Network of BC and the Canada North West
FASD research network, involving 7 western Canadian Provinces and Territories
in addressing fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.
