Catherine Stratton

Catherine is a second-year MPH student in Chronic Disease Epidemiology. In June 2018, she graduated from the University of Toronto where she studied public health and discovered her passion for pain medicine by assisting research on virtual reality ability to reduce patients’ anxiety. Catherine is particularly passionate about disability as a social determinant of health and how people with disabilities navigate ableist spaces and interactions. She co-founded the Implementation Science Group at Yale (ISG) where members discuss how best we can translate evidence into practice so that the newest health research findings can best serve various populations and their unique needs. She currently is a research associate at the Sports Equity Lab at Yale where she does research into the unique challenges faced by para-athletes.
