Population-based research on health services, population and public health, and social determinants of health. Manages Manitoba Population Research Data Repository.
The Manitoba Centre for Health Policy (MCHP) carries out population-based research on health services, population and public health and the social determinants of health (income, education, employment and social circumstances). Our research helps Manitoba to maximize our healthcare dollars and to identify health and social policy tools we need to for the future. We use de-identified data from administrative records of Manitobans (personal data collected for other purposes stored by a variety of government departments). Records are linked by a scrambled identifier that is created based on Public Health Identification Numbers (PHIN).
MCHP maintains the Manitoba Population Research Data Repository, a unique resource for research and public policy analysis, and supports knowledge translation through its nationally recognised Need to Know team. Researchers can access Manitoba Population Research Data Repository to conduct research on a fee-for-use basis
