Kathryn Birnie, PhD RPsych
My research focuses on improving quality, equitable assessment and management of acute and chronic pain experienced by children, adolescents, and their families. I predominantly draw from implementation science and clinical research methods with an emphasis on equity-oriented approaches. I build multi-partner teams (patients, families, decision-makers, healthcare providers) to collaborate, co-design, and evaluate interventions and health services in pain to inform practice and policy.
