SafeCareBC Leading Indicators Survey: Informed Consent

July 2025: Chris McLeod, PWHS Director, and Lindsey Richardson, Associate Professor in the UBC Department of Sociology, are co-principal investigators on a successful CIHR project grant focused on reducing substance-use related harm among people working in construction and trades in BC. In the context of the ongoing, intractable challenges linked to drug use and drug-related harm, people working in construction and trades bear a disproportionate burden of this harm, and there is a lack of published, action-oriented research in this area. The work funded by this grant will fill critical research and knowledge mobilization gaps.

Jun 2025: Congratulations to Chizitara Nkwopara, a recent MSc OEH graduate, and Harman Sandhu, a current MSc OEH student, who received the Best Student Oral Presentation Awards at this year’s conference.

June 2025: PWHS researchers will give five presentations at the Canadian Association for Research on Work and Health Conference, June 3-2, 2025 in Ottawa, ON.
