The Research that we are Involved in is Centered around Three Pillars:
- Develop a better understanding of the bio-behavioural mechanisms involved in the development and progression of chronic diseases (e.g., cardiovascular disease, obesity, pain), and design and evaluate interventions that are aimed at improving the lives of individuals living with such conditions.
- Enhance the adoption of evidence-based practices in clinical care (e.g., recommendations made by clinical practice guidelines), and support behaviour change among health care providers when implementing an innovation in health care
- Establish an international interdisciplinary training network with the goal of disseminating evidence-based recommendations and facilitating healthcare provider behavior change.
Ongoing Projects:
- Canadian Behavioural Interventions and Trials Network (CBITN).
- Evaluating the implementation of adaptive mentorship networks for the management of pain, mental health and substance use concerns.
- Improving the management of chronic pain with intranasal oxytocin.
- Implementing digital measurement-based care within the context of a provincial stepped care model in Newfoundland and Labrador
- Implementation of the Power Over Pain Portal
Completed Projects:
- Improving outcomes following bariatric surgery.
- Evaluating the effects of internet delivered interventions to treat depression among individuals with chronic pain and major depression.
- Implementing core components of stepped care within mental health and addictions services.
- Optimizing Provider Adherence To Clinical Practice Guidelines For The Prescription Of Long-Term Opioid Analgesics To Manage Chronic Pain
