Professional Interests
The applied research of my lab aims to improve child and family health through population-based research that informs or evaluates health system programs, and healthcare or social policies that have an impact on children and their families. We focus on populations that have higher healthcare needs as a result of underlying medical conditions or social vulnerability. Current areas of focus include mental health and addictions; immigrant and refugee populations.
