The Canadian Public Health Association is inviting public health, public safety, health and social service providers and other professionals and practitioners to participate in a short survey on substance use.

Your answers will help us to better understand your knowledge and perspectives of substance use, and topics you would like to learn more about.  Your participation in this survey will support the creation of tools, resources and online learning modules to support the implementation of a public health approach to substance use in Canada.

You’re invited for EHN Canada’s special event:

59% increase over the same period in 2019
