The nation ranks 30th among 38 peer nations in UNICEF’s 2020 report card on the performance of child well-being. In this research, we consider what evidence-based interventions could make a significant difference in the health and well-being outcomes for children and youth in Canada.

Are Canada’s health systems well positioned to meet the needs of children and youth? What is the cost of children waiting for care and services in Canada on the healthcare system, Canada’s economy, and the families who support them? Where can investments be made to increase access to early screening, reduce delays in diagnosis, and improve timely access to treatment, care, and support services?

Read this overview to get insight into the series focus and rationale.
