It is critical for the public to have trust in governments and organizations that collect, protect, share and use health data. In this webinar, Dr. Kim McGrail, HDRN Canada's Scientific Director, and Julia Burt, our Public Engagement Lead, will present findings from our collaboration with the Public Health Agency of Canada on public trust and data literacy, including:
