HeLTI Canada

HeLTI Canada was developed in partnership with the World Health Organization and is one of four separate but harmonized studies focused on developing evidence-based care for families that span from preconception across pregnancy and into the postpartum period and early childhood. The aim is to improve the health and well-being of children by preventing the development of obesity and chronic diseases. The other three similar studies are being conducted in Soweto (South Africa), Mysore (India), and Shanghai (China) to provide a global perspective.
