About

The Caregivers’ Voices Study is a mixed methods research study involving survey and qualitative semi-structured interview data. We aim to better understand which universal public health promotion and prevention services are most needed from the perspectives of caregivers (including pregnant people and parents) in British Columbia (BC). Findings from this study will support the BC Ministry of Health and senior public health leaders in developing more inclusive policies and standards of care.

We are engaging with caregivers of children age four and younger who reside in the Fraser Health Authority, and caregivers who may be experiencing marginalization and who have used services provided by the Elizabeth Fry Society of Greater Vancouver.

This project is ongoing, with reports expected in 2026.
