We sought to understand the risks of travel-acquired illnesses across different groups of travellers, informing targeted public health strategies to protect high-risk groups. Data from Statistics Canada\u2019s National Travel Survey (NTS) and GeoSentinel Surveillance Network\u2019s Canadian sites (CanTravNet) were analyzed to assess patterns of travel and travel-acquired diseases. NTS data showed that overall international travel decreased by 48% between 2019 and 2022, particularly in those travelling for tourism, but remained consistent among travellers visiting friends and relatives (21.5% and 23.9%, respectively) whose duration of travel was demonstrated to be longer than others. Identifying sub-populations for enhanced public health strategies can support targeted outreach on travel-related risks, promoting pre-travel consultation and vaccines available to Canadian travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Presenter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/Theresa-Lee-picture.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/Theresa-Lee-picture.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/Theresa-Lee-picture.jpg 512w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/Theresa-Lee-picture-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/Theresa-Lee-picture-240x240.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/Theresa-Lee-picture-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/Theresa-Lee-picture-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/Theresa-Lee-picture-360x360.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Theresa Min-Hyung Lee<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public Health Agency of Canada<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[49,48],"cu_event_audience":[],"class_list":["post-5111","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","hentry","cu_event_type-event","cu_event_type-seminar"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2025-02-20T12:00:00","cu_event_end_date":"2025-02-20T13:00:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":"NI","cu_event_meeting_room":"3038","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":false,"cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"","cu_event_email":"","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/5111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/5111\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5339,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/5111\/revisions\/5339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=5111"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=5111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
