Research Summary
My research interests involve the use of mixed methods and implementation science to improve health care delivery, most recently in the context of obstructive lung diseases. Recently completed projects include an assessment of indoor air quality and asthma outcomes within an inner city school district during an ongoing school renovation project. Ongoing projects include the creation of a shared decision making tool regarding home oxygen use for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
