BC Mental Health and Addictions Research Network

Pharmacoepidemiology Research Hub

British Columbia is among the few areas throughout the world that have the capacity to systematically address important questions about the safety and optimal use of psychopharmacological agents. Detailed information about every prescription filled in the province for the majority of the population is centrally collected and maintained in a database known as PharmaNet. To facilitate access to this data by all verified health researchers in BC, CARMHA, in partnership with the BC Mental Health and Addictions Research Network, is developing the Pharmacoepidemiology Research Hub.
