Knowledge Translation Products by Evidence to Care

Evidence to Care (EtC) develops innovative evidence-based products, in partnership with clinicians, clients, families and other Hospital staff to address knowledge gaps and work to support adoption. Many research labs and clinical groups develop their own knowledge translation (KT) products as part of research grants and other hospital initiatives. Please visit individual research labs and the Family and Youth Resource webpage to access these resources.

More resources are being created, stay tuned and return to this page for updates!
