Assessing potential interactions between wild and hatchery Chinook salmon in the early marine environment

Estuaries are crucial stopover areas for juvenile salmon during outmigration and especially for Chinook salmon who can reside in this habitat for over a month. Many populations of Chinook salmon from the Pacific Northwest are threatened and endangered making conservation important for this species. In response to relatively small returns to spawning grounds, hatchery production […]

Adoption and enhancement of a primary care management pathway for obstructive sleep apnea: an implementation evaluation project

A clinical pathway for primary care Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) management has been developed in Calgary to address specific barriers to OSA management by primary care physicians (PCPs) that were identified in a series of stakeholder consultation activities. This study’s primary goal is to maximize use of the clinical pathway to support evidence-based primary care […]
