Sylvia Abonyi's Canada Research Chair renewed
On March 29, 2010, Sylvia Abonyi, SPHERU Faculty researcher, received the news that her Canada Research Chair will aid in continuing her work in fostering healthy northern communities.
The two questions that drive Abonyi's research are: What is a health community? How would we measure that? Over the next five years, Abonyi and her team, will continue to answer these questions with the Athabasca Health Authority in Northern Saskatchewan. Work on development of a toolkit that identifies more than 200 indicators of community health and wellness is complete and now moves into the next stage of implementation.
