Survey Description

Researchers at Toronto Western Hospital–University Health Network and the University of Toronto are inviting patients and physicians in Canada to participate in a research study examining nutrition care for chronic digestive diseases.

The study aims to better understand how patients perceive the nutritional support and dietary guidance they receive, as well as how physicians view their own knowledge, efforts, and experiences providing nutrition-related care. Researchers will compare the perspectives of patients and physicians to identify potential differences, challenges, and barriers that may help inform future clinical practices.

  • Have a chronic gastrointestinal condition
  • Are currently receiving healthcare services in Canada
