Research interests

• Michaud is experienced in conducting evidence-based economic evaluations of interventions at the clinical or population levels. Through this practice, her goal is to inform practice guidelines, health practice, and population health impact, and improve the quality of life for individuals. Dr. Michaud have coauthored several papers looking at the effectiveness or cost-effectiveness of intervention programs, and she is familiar with complex modern statistical analyses and modelling techniques used in the estimation of the long-term effects that extend beyond the study period of clinical trials. Her approach to research is multidisciplinary and utilizes skills in health services research, decision analysis, economic evaluation, and comparative effectiveness research. Dr. Michaud maintain personal and genuine interests in population aging, long-term care, obesity, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease. Her current research program focuses on the integration of decision science and health service research with implementation research to expand and promote health promotion programs to the population level by informing policy makers and stakeholders the decision-making process.
