Quotations
“Unprecedented growth in income inequality is seeing more and more children born into social and economic disadvantage. This disadvantage increases their risk for poor health and lowers their life chances. They have absolutely no control over these circumstances. It is up to us to find strengths in families, neighbourhoods and schools that can offset these disadvantages and to challenge the health care system to better meet the needs of children and youth confronting mental health issues. The 2014 Ontario Child Health Study will attempt to do that.”
– Dr. Michael Boyle, Canada Research Chair in the Social Determinants of Child Health and Principal Investigator on the 2014 OCHS
“Poverty and income inequality still exist and still have incredibly harmful effects on children and families. We need to know more about these effects so we can do more to reduce the effects of socio-economic inequality. These are issues of social justice, lets even the playing field, all children deserve a chance.”
– Dr. Michael Boyle, Canada Research Chair in the Social Determinants of Child Health and Principal Investigator on the 2014 OCHS
