Research interests |
Dr. Marshall’s mixed-methods research examines primary healthcare from patient, provider, and system perspectives to address the quadruple aim: promoting population health, optimizing costs, enhancing patient experience, and supporting care team well-being. Foci include access, continuity, and comprehensiveness to improve equity and optimize outcomes across the life course, involving population data and vulnerable populations. She leads multiple pan-Canadian studies including the CIHR COVID-19 Rapid Response funded PUPPY-Study. Her research has been supported by more than $40 million in grant funding from tri-council, national, provincial, and university funding agencies ($3.1 million as principal investigator and $38 million as co-investigator). She has published over 40 peer-reviewed articles (23 as first or senior author) and given more than 160 invited and peer-reviewed conference presentations. Dr. Marshall is the 2020 recipient of the NAPCRG Mid-Career Researcher Award. |
