Measurement Based Care and Digital eMental Health

The CIHR Catalyst Grant in Youth Mental Health is a pan-Canadian networking and knowledge translation grant. Through this webinar series, we hope to better understand the current and future landscape around data and measurement in youth mental health: what’s happening, where are the gaps, how innovations are filling them, and how we can move forward together. This could range from issues such as how to integrate data collection and evaluation in service settings, novel or innovative data platforms and opportunities, learning health system approaches, and more.

In this fifth webinar of our series we heard from Dr. Gina Dimitropoulos and Jason Gondziola about Measurement Based Care and Digital eMental Health
