Research Watch

Research Watch is a monthly journal club for faculty and doctoral students interested in child welfare research. It is a joint McGill / University of Toronto initiative supported by funds from the Royal Bank of Canada. We review empirical studies published in the leading child welfare journals and select the most salient and rigorous studies to be summarized and distributed in a monthly e-newsletter.
