My research interests include access to and uptake of preventative services in Canada; access to and social determinants of bariatric surgery; equity in access to healthcare services; food regulation and policy; and trust in food. My current major research focus is the role of trust in Canadians’ use of immunization and cancer screening programs. As a member of the Canadian Immunization Research Network and Applied Research in Cancer Control, my work also more broadly investigates barriers to vaccine uptake and participation in cancer screening programs
