Statistics Canada Biobank

The purpose of the Biobank is to accelerate future research projects and build health monitoring opportunities on a nationally-representative sample of Canadians. The Biobank receives samples from surveys like CHMS or CCAHS that collect dried blood spot, blood, urine, and saliva samples from consenting participants. These samples are stored in a secure location for future health studies. To obtain approval for the use of these samples, research projects undergo a thorough scientific, ethical, and security review process.

该生物库旨在加速未来研究项目的进展，并在全国代表性样本的加拿大人中构建健康监测的机会。生物库从如CHMS或CCAHS等调查中收集样本，这些调查从同意的参与者那里收集干血斑、血液、尿液和唾液样本。这些样本被存储在安全地点，以备未来的健康研究使用。为了获得使用这些样本的批准，研究项目需经过严格的科学、伦理和安全审查流程。
