A recent article in The Star by Carol Goar, announced that the Canadian Health Network (CHN) is being axed. Part of my master's thesis research was to study screen capture video files (collected with consent) from end-users who looked for health information using the CHN. The fact that the CHN is a collaboration of organizations (i.e., government departments, non-profit health organizations, universities, etc.) and is a non-corporate source of health information makes it an interesting resource to study. I will be watching for further announcements and to see what the political rationale is for the funding cut.
