Population health risk assessment is the comprehensive assessment
of health risks in the general population based on the genetic and biological,
environmental and occupational, social and behavioural factors that determine
health. It is necessary to develop strategies to ensure that the population
health status in Canada is maintained and further developed. Continuous
challenges to health, such as radiation, water contamination, air pollution
and mad cow disease, serve as reminders of the need to anticipate and
prevent new health threats. The McLaughlin Centre is rapidly becoming
recognized as a leading international research centre in the field of
population health risk assessment. The Centre is committed to honesty,
fairness, respect, cooperation, open communication and scientific and
academic excellence in training and research.
