MCS is a small non-profit organization concerned with the health of young people in B.C.. MCS has conducted community-based research<br />
<strong>and</strong> projects addressing current youth health issues. The society takes its name from the late Dr. J.F. McCreary, a paediatrician <strong>and</strong> medical<br />
administrator, whose leadership in promoting inter-professional teaching <strong>and</strong> multi-disciplinary approaches in health care set a st<strong>and</strong>ard<br />
that the society seeks to emulate.<br />
MCS has a number of partnerships to develop research <strong>and</strong> networking opportunities, including:<br />
• Student Research Group<br />
• Sexual Orientation, Risk <strong>and</strong> Resilience Study<br />
• Experiences of Stigma <strong>and</strong> Risk Behaviours Study<br />
MCS research is in early adolescence, youth homelessness <strong>and</strong> youth vulnerability:<br />
• Promoting Resiliency in Early Adolescence<br />
• Healthy Youth Development: The Opportunity of Early Adolescence<br />
• National Training Initiative in Adolescent Health (NTIAH)<br />
• Violence in Adolescence: injury, suicide, <strong>and</strong> criminal violence in the lives of B.C. youth<br />
• Accenting the Positive: a developmental framework for reducing risk <strong>and</strong> promoting positive outcomes among B.C. youth.<br />
BCCEWH research has been framed by three themes: Healthy Women <strong>and</strong> Healthy Communities, Health Status <strong>and</strong> Health Determinants,<br />
Women Centred Care.<br />
BCCEWH current activities focus on women <strong>and</strong> addictions; mental health; health services; mothering <strong>and</strong> maternity; <strong>and</strong> physical activity.<br />
BCCEWH collaborates with women’s health researchers across B.C., across Canada <strong>and</strong> around the world. The BCCEWH is known internationally<br />
for its work on women tobacco issues, as well as change-oriented research <strong>and</strong> knowledge exchange activities.<br />
CeMCOR is an accessible research centre with a m<strong>and</strong>ate to distribute information directly to women about changes through the life cycle,<br />
from adolescence to menopause. CeMCOR’S goal is to do good science that honours the voices <strong>and</strong> experiences of women. It is the only<br />
centre in North America that focuses on ovulation <strong>and</strong> the causes for <strong>and</strong> consequences of ovulation disturbances.<br />
CeMCOR studies the physical <strong>and</strong> psychological causes <strong>and</strong> effects of ovulation disturbances on women’s overall health. CeMCOR publishes<br />
scientific results <strong>and</strong> disseminates information directly to women. CeMCOR document variations in the menstrual cycle <strong>and</strong> ovulation in<br />
the context of the lives of women of all ages. CeMCOR is analyzing the relationships of the menstrual cycle <strong>and</strong> ovulation changes with<br />
weight changes, metabolism changes, eating attitudes, breast maturation, bone physiology, pre-menstrual experiences <strong>and</strong> changes in<br />
the physiology of exercise, respiration, cardiovascular function <strong>and</strong> breast density <strong>and</strong> nodularity.
