Research Synopsis

Using a paradigm of clinical population medicine, my research and implementation projects focus primarily on the intersection of chronic pain, mental health and opioid use. I use a variety of research methods to investigate this area including systematic reviews, clinical trials, implementation evaluations, and bibliometric and media analysis. I also conduct evaluative educationals research under the theme of understanding the relationship between educational methodology, program outcomes and health policy.
