My research focuses on two areas, the first being type 1 diabetes in children. I have worked with survey data to better understand the challenges and barriers faced by children with type 1 diabetes and their caregivers. I am also part of a team working to better understand the quality of care provided to children and youth with type 1 diabetes in British Columbia, using administrative (health system) data.
