For 40 years, the Canadian Centre for Rural and Agricultural Health has been at the forefront of rural health research
The Canadian Centre for Rural and Agricultural Health (CCRAH) is a University of Saskatchewan research centre in Saskatchewan, Canada. We embody innovative research, dedicated outreach, and collaborative efforts to support people to live healthy and safe in rural and agricultural settings. We welcome collaborations that enhance rural peoples’ health and safety.
Community-Driven Research-to-Action
CCRAH is a research centre dedicated to putting our boots on the ground alongside rural and agricultural people to address their health and safety needs. We accomplish this by working at the grassroots, in, for, and with the people and communities, undertaking research, developing resources, and delivering programs and services in Saskatchewan and across Canada. Our partnerships with communities help us define research questions and drive innovation to address health challenges for rural and agricultural people. We mobilize knowledge and take the research evidence to where it's needed through our community, industry, and academic partners.
Community-Based Participatory Research
CCRAH embeds rural people (e.g. farmers, ranchers, communities, Indigenous communities, industries, and municipalities) in a research to action cycle. Community members are involved in the entire process, from the development of research questions, actions, and movement of evidence into resources, programs, and services.
