Currently, at the Wellness Impact Lab at the Institute, Christy is supporting trainees on projects reviewing evidence for climate distress interventions and the recent use of the Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST).
Christy earned her B.Sc and M.Sc from the American University of Beirut (AUB), Lebanon. She then completed her doctoral studies in Epidemiology from York University, Toronto (2018) and a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Ottawa (2019). Christy’s research interests include non-communicable disease epidemiology, global health, aging, and women’s health. Major projects that she continues to lead examine the intersection between reproductive, cardiovascular, and brain health using large data from the U.S and Canada, as well as systematic reviews in those areas. She is also interested in longitudinal data analysis, program evaluation, knowledge synthesis and translation.
