BC Generations Project goes online
Joining the BC Generations Project is now easier than ever, thanks to a new process that allows participants to complete their entire intake procedure online. The online procedure replaces the paper-based consent and questionnaire, which participants previously completed by hand. Not only does the new process save on printing and mailing costs, it increases the quality and accuracy of the data.
