What We Do

Our research team is led by Dr. JoAnne Arcand in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Ontario Tech University. We take a multifaceted interdisciplinary approach to understanding and addressing the cognitive, behavioral and environmental factors that impact healthy eating and the onset of chronic disease and its management. This research includes clinical and population-based interventions that ensure people have access to healthy foods, and that support behaviour change at multiple levels, from children to older adults, to patients living with chronic diseases, and to practitioners who support these groups within health, education and policy systems. Our research applies the principles of implementation science and it integrates a variety of research methodologies to test hypothesis-driven research questions. One focus of our research also includes creating and evaluating innovative nutritional interventions that use technology as an engaging strategy to support healthy eating, such as the Sodium Calculator and Foodbot Factory. We also have expertise in conducting nutrition policy and program evaluation related to population-wide dietary sodium reduction, both in Canada and internationally.
