How to Follow News and Updates from the CHEO Research Institute

The CHEO Research Institute publishes its news and research output directly on cheoresearch.ca through two dated sections: Updates & News and Latest Discoveries. If you want to track what the institute is announcing or publishing, those two sections are the primary places to look — no account or sign-up is mentioned on the site, so following along means checking the site itself.

What each section gives you

The two sections serve different purposes. Updates & News covers things like new appointments, study launches, and institutional announcements. Latest Discoveries is closer to a publication feed — it lists research outputs by date and topic.

Updates & News

This section carries dated news items. Examples visible on the site include:

• 23/09/2026 — Fifteen-year study lays foundation to study long-term mental health outcomes
• 17/09/2026 — New Scientist Michelle Kameda-Smith advances research to improve outcomes for children with brain tumours
• 09/09/2026 — New study links parental awareness of online activity to healthier eating behaviours in adolescents

A "Read More News" link sits below the entries, which is how you move past the most recent items into older coverage. If you're looking for a specific announcement, start here and work backward through that link.

Latest Discoveries

This section lists research papers and findings, also dated. Entries shown on the site include:

• Examining the grading process for the Government indicator of the 2024 ParticipACTION Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth — 23/09/2026
• Social determinants of adolescent eating behaviours: findings from the 2019 Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth — 23/09/2026
• Beyond screen time: rethinking social media as a developmental context for adolescent well-being — 08/09/2026
• Unlocking the potential of light-intensity physical activity for public health: a call to action for research — 16/08/2026
• Adverse experiences in childhood and adolescence in relation to sleep health in adulthood: An overview of systematic reviews and a global evidence map — 15/08/2026
• Parental awareness of adolescents' online activities and its association with eating behaviours in Canadian youth — 15/08/2026

The topics cluster around child and adolescent health: physical activity, nutrition and eating behaviours, sleep, mental health, social media and screen use, and childhood adversity. If your interest is in one of those areas, this feed is where new work surfaces first.

Related pages worth knowing about

Beyond the two feeds, the site links to documents that give context for the research:

• 2025–2026 Annual Report — the institute's yearly summary
• CHEO Research Strategy 2025–2029 — the stated research direction
• New Clinical Trial Access Core and Clinical Investigation Unit — an announcement about pediatric clinical trial capacity in Canada

If you're trying to understand why a given study exists or where the institute is heading, the strategy document and annual report are the pages to open alongside the news feed.

Practical way to keep up

1. Open cheoresearch.ca and go to Updates & News for announcements, or Latest Discoveries for papers.
2. Scan the dates at the top of each entry — the newest items appear first.
3. Use "Read More News" to reach older items in the news section.
4. For background, open the 2025–2026 Annual Report or the CHEO Research Strategy 2025–2029 from the homepage.

One thing to plan for: the site doesn't advertise a newsletter, RSS feed, or notification option in the material available, so there's no confirmed push mechanism. Following the institute means returning to these sections periodically rather than waiting for an alert. If you need a specific paper, note its exact title from Latest Discoveries — the titles are long and specific, which makes them the most reliable search terms.
