INTRODUCTION
METHODS General Overview
This work builds on the existing high-quality scientific research on IBD in Canada – much of which has been funded by the CCFC to generate a single, publicly-accessible document exploring the comprehensive impact of IBD in Canada.
To undertake this review, a Steering Committee was formed, composed of academic experts in gastroenterology and health economics. The Steering Committee selected and defined the topics and provided overall research guidance. The report was researched and written by a third-party organization.
