This database is compiled with funding assistance from Health Canada and the cooperation of the tobacco control research community in BC. It is intended to benefit individuals and organizations in the tobacco control community in BC by providing knowledge of tobacco control work in the province.

The database lists tobacco control research being conducted either by BC based researchers and/or about BC in part or in whole by researchers outside of the province. The database is compiled solely through information collected directly from the researchers themselves. As such, the project managers cannot guarantee the completeness of the database.
