Purple Papers
This paper summarizes peer-reviewed literature pertinent to public health in Canada and contextualizes research findings. The Purple Paper began as the NCCID’s pandemic H1N1 weekly literature synthesis in 2009 and it has since grown to cover other infectious disease topics in public health.
We hope this newsletter will fulfill some of the information needs of public health practitioners and will be of interest to our audiences. If you would like to subscribe or provide feedback, please contact us.
