No. Access to data will enable researchers to better understand the many factors and variables that impact the health of different populations, or groups of people. They can compare data between different provinces and territories and gather evidence that shows which treatments or interventions are more or less effective for patients with different needs or backgrounds. By understanding how age, gender, income, education level, immigration status, Indigeneity, health behaviours, etc. intersect and affect our health, researchers and health care providers will be able to develop and offer treatments that are more specialized, specific and relevant to each individual’s situation.
