The mission of the Prairie Region Health Promotion Research Centre is to be a centre of excellence in health promotion research, evaluation and practice. Since its establishment, the Centre has been active in establishing links between organizations, practitioners, researchers and policy-makers, disseminating research findings and working through partnerships to offer training in health promotion practice and research.
The Centre is in the process of developing its research program in a number of cross-cutting thematic areas including: health promotion theory, evidence-based health promotion, knowledge translation, ethno-cultural specific health promotion frameworks, relationships between Western models of health promotion and Indigenous health promotion, primary health and globalization and health. To date these areas draw on two broad fields of content:
- Mental health promotion
- Literacy and health
