standards, injury reduction, and health
promotion strategies. At an international level,
the Government of Canada has cited CAIR
reports in its 2003 submission to the United
Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child
and identified CAIR as playing an important role

in influencing children's rights in Canada.
CAIR has also been identified as a tool for
awareness-raising, skill building, and knowledge
development through conference presentations,
teleconferences, lectures, course materials,
social marketing campaigns, and resource
materials. From a research perspective, 132
articles in 56 journals reaching a very wide range
of disciplines were related to CAIR.
