Research Focus

One facet of our research programs used administrative data housed at the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy to examine social determinants of health (SDOH) on pediatric injury including burns. Our extensible research framework has also included examining patients with frostbite, necrotizing fasciitis as well as work place injuries. In addition, we have several administrative data studies ongoing examining changes in rates of mental and physical health
