Grant: CIHR New Investigator
Université de Montréal
$300,000.00
Development of advanced causal methodology for the evaluation of pharmaceutical safety and effectiveness using electronic medical databases
FY 2014-15
Summary
My research goals are to improve the ways in which we statistically estimate the health effects and safety of medication. I use data collected for medication and medical services billing as well as data collected in hospital that are recorded in provincial databases for users who subscribe to the public drug insurance. Thanks to these statistical methods, we are coming closer to being able to credibly monitor drugs being used in the province of Québec and internationally. Two of my important health research projects involve investigating the safety of asthma medication for pregnant women and determining the most important factors in the accumulation of multiple chronic conditions in older adults.
