THUNDER BAY — While doctors and nurses work with patients on the frontlines, the researchers in the background play just as pivotal a role in health care by helping create new innovations and increase the quality of care.
Wood was one of eight presenters during the 18th annual Health and Research Showcase hosted by the Centre for Applied Health Research at St. Joseph’s Care Group. “We do believe that research is very important in delivering quality care, providing a venue for people to disseminate their research and research that is very relevant to Northwestern Ontario,” he said. “It also puts together the researchers, administrators, and clinical frontline people to discuss and hopefully create some connection between the clinical world and research world.”
One of the presentations on Friday included a study by the Thunder Bay Regional Health Research Institute on changes in adolescent and youth mental health presentations resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. “I think things are increasing, but we are also seeing, as others in the room noted, we are seeing people are accessing services outside of primary health care as well.”
The next steps include seeing how Northwestern Ontario compares to other parts of the province and if increases in presentations for mental health care correlates with access to other community or health care services, such as hospitalizations or emergency room visits.
