Research Projects

CAMAP values quality, evidence-based research on MAiD to help us better understand this important and sometimes complex new field of health care.

We support the research community by offering research grants and hosting Research Forums twice a year where researchers share their current work.

Through our Research and Knowledge Transfer Grants, CAMAP is proud to share some of the important work that we have supported:

MAiD Info for Patients  – Translation of this document has been supported by CAMAP (2023/2024)

MAiDHouse: a qualitative study on structured community-based support for grief and bereavement

Experiences of patients, family members and healthcare providers with Track-2 Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) Process in the Island Health Authority (2023)

 

The following abstracts were presented at the MAiD2024 Research Forum:

Insights from the nursing perspective on the evolving context of MAID communication challenges – Sally Thorne & Barb Pesut

The role of ethicists in Medical Assistance in Dying: Perspectives of healthcare professionals and ethicists – Vanessa Finley-Roy
