Interests and activities

Much of the research that I do involves aspects of this community capacity-building initiative. For example, large sample surveys that provide data that influence attitudes and government decision-making processes.

Recently, this has taken the form of the accessibility of recreational opportunities for youth from disadvantaged neighbourhoods.

I also work with large sample research design using custom designed pain paper scan data input forms. This research is often in the form of market research in the private sector.
