Hello Everyone,
I am really excited to be getting this Network started!
Thanks for your involvement. We will have many more opportunities to get to know more about each other, the important work being done, and how we can continue to build capacity for breastfeeding research in Canada.
I am an Associate Professor at Ontario Tech University in Oshawa. My breastfeeding research focuses on increasing health literacy through the design and implementation of eHealth resources. The resources we have created are freely available, breastfeedinginfo.ca and have been designed in partnership with couples, including fathers/partners, young mothers and indigenous families and evaluated in a randomized controlled trial. We are now working to implement the eHealth resource in health care organizations (hospitals and health department) across a health region. We have also created a breastfeeding knowledge scale that some of you may be interested in.
