Research Team

Since the creation of Approach 180, it has always been important for the RASC team to get involved and create valuable partnerships with the world of research in order to:

  • Better understand our populations;
  • Analyze target groups needs;
  • Measure the impacts of the implementation of our interventions and programs;
  • Innovating for the global health of our societies.

In collaboration with the Mitacs Acceleration research fund, the RASC participates in the funding and advancement of research into the clinical, social and systemic issues associated with the management of childhood obesity.
