CCNH grant funding has impact with three studies in child health

In 2015 the Centre for Child Nutrition & Health (CCNH) announced three new grants supporting research projects in child health promotion and disease prevention.
The new grants were part of The Hospital for Sick Children’s Centre for Healthy Active Kids 2015 EAT, PLAY, THINK! Catalyst Grant program. 

One year later, the research teams who have benefited from the CCNH funding support have shared these updates on their work:
