A research team led by ¹û½´ÊÓƵ has found that brief cognitive behavioural interventions that help young people manage such things as impulsivity, sensation seeking, sensitivity to anxiety and negative thinking can reduce teen substance use disorders.

This new funding establishes ¹û½´ÊÓƵ as the national headquarters of Lab2Market and will enable the program to expand to more than 50 Canadian universities, colleges, and research hospitals, helping to unlock the commercial potential of $7.8 billion in collective annual research funding.

Researchers have joined forces with Zambian health-care professionals to create the Mfuwe Epilepsy Foundation, with a focus on improving epilepsy care in rural Zambia where health infrastructure is limited.
