Bio/Research
Much of Catherine’s research is based at the Arthritis Research Centre of Canada (ARC), where people living with arthritis (consumer collaborators) make important contributions to defining relevent research questions and interpreting findings, and most projects are implemented by interdisciplinary teams and with partners across Canada. Graduate students have designed or participated in many of the projects. Recently completed studies include the investigation of the impact of arthritis on mothering tasks; development of evidence-based guidelines for rehabilitation following hip and knee arthroplasty; development of the Social Role Participation Questionnaire, and the study of help-seeking behaviours in early arthritis. New funding was recently received to explore the ethics of e-health – how people with chronic conditions use electronic media to find health information and how this influences their interaction with their health care providers.
