Rheumatic disease and the environment
EF 2014-15
Résumé
Over the past decade our team has worked with Canadian researchers coast to coast to estimate the prevalence of systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (important diseases which include SLE and other high-burden conditions) and their links with air pollution. With a planning and dissemination grant, we will work with stakeholders (using workshops and other forums) to ensure that policy makers are aware of the results and can act on the findings. As opposed to other risk factors (e.g. genes), pollution is something that can be influenced by policy; so there is a great chance of translating my work into improved health.
