Research Focus

My research focuses on epidemiology and outcomes of COPD using different methodology approaches, which has led to an integrated mode of treatment, Living Well with COPD (LWWCOPD) self-management program, combining pharmacologic and lifestyle changes that is innovative in directly involving patients as partners in their own care. Furthermore, a major focus of my research includes the creation of the Canadian Cohort Obstructive Lung Disease (CanCOLD) study, the first population-derived COPD longitudinal cohort that includes 9 sites in 6 Canadian provinces.
