Associate Professor
Research Interests
Dr. Kurtz Landy completed her PhD in Clinical Health Sciences (Nursing) and a graduate diploma in Health Services and Policy Research at McMaster University. She is an established educator and researcher. Overall her research focuses on women's health during the reproductive years and examines health inequities in mothers and children who experience low socioeconomic status, nurse home visiting, maternal and newborn health outcomes and health service need and access, labour pain and decision making regarding delivery method. She is also very interested in implementation science, particularly knowledge translation at the policy level. Dr. Kurtz Landy is a member of a research team doing the process evaluation of the implementation of an intervention called “the Nurse Family Partnership” within the BC Health Beginnings Project. She is also interested in the increased rates of Cesarean section deliveries in Canada, and aims to better understand how women decide on their delivery method, and how care providers advise them, we can use that knowledge to develop strategies to ensure Cesarean births are used appropriately to optimize maternal-newborn outcomes.
