Leading toward Equity through Adolescent Participation

At The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids)’ Leading toward Equity through Adolescent Participation Lab (LEAP Lab), we seek to explore how health systems can most effectively support and engage adolescents sitting at the intersection of structural vulnerabilities. Our team recognizes that youth are experts in their own experiences, and we believe that adolescent-responsive, rights-based approaches to research and care can transform health systems to promote and improve health outcomes for all youth.
