Activities

My program of research focuses on supporting immunization best practice, programs, and policy and promoting informed decision-making by parents. I collaborate extensively with multi-disciplinary clinicians and policy-makers to answer questions of practical importance to immunization practice and policy, and have ongoing projects with Alberta Health Services and the Ministry of Health. My methodological strengths are in quantitative research, particularly epidemiology, administrative health data, and survey methods. I enjoy working with colleagues with expertise in qualitative methods, as these approaches inform and enrich my research.
