My research interests include sociological and ethnographic studies of drug use and health among vulnerable populations, risk behaviours, social, cultural and environmental contexts of drug-related harms, violence and abuse, and research with crack cocaine users, sex workers, and marginalized youth. My dissertation research, funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) in conjunction with the Intersections of Mental Health Perspectives in Addictions Research Training (IMPART), focuses on the health and social characteristics of women who use crack cocaine, including the social dynamics of gender marginalization and harm consequences of crack cocaine use in Canada.
