My research over the last 20 years has focused on a variety of topic areas. These include Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, suicide, suicidal behaviour, pharmacoepidemiology and implementation of complex interventions. The funding for my research has come from a variety of funding bodies including Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), Health Sciences Centre Research and other sources. I have been lucky enough to partner with researchers across the country in evaluating interventions and studying trends in suicide and suicidal behaviour.
