31st annual Labelle Lecture

Laura Schummers, ScD, a reproductive and perinatal epidemiologist and Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia (UBC), will present the 31st annual Labelle Lecture on the topic “Improving reproductive population health through health policy and outcomes research.”

Schummers is an Assistant Professor of Health Outcomes with the Collaboration for Outcomes Research and Evaluation in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at UBC.

In this presentation, she will describe her research using quantitative policy analysis methods to examine impacts of Canada’s globally unique regulatory approach to the “abortion pill” on abortion use, safety, and effectiveness in Canada, and international policy implications. She will consider implementation of similar methods to a range of reproductive health policy and practice questions in partnership with policymakers, health care providers, and patients.
