Methods of data collection will include quantitative questionnaires, key informant interviews, and video of veterinarian-client interactions.
A funded 3-year PhD program in Epidemiology in the Department of Population Medicine, Ontario Veterinary College (OVC), University of Guelph, is open for applications. The title of the project is “Development of evidence-based mental health literacy program and emergency mental health response model for Ontario agriculture.” The program will commence on or before September 1st, 2016, depending on availability of a suitable candidate.

Methods of data collection will include, but are not limited to, key informant interviews and stakeholder workshops. The developed mental health literacy program will be delivered to members of the agricultural community and formally evaluated.
