Her lines of research deal with health systems analysis, services and needs assessment, and implementation studies. She also conducts epidemiological and outcome studies on quality of life, suicidal behaviors or death, based on large cohorts that investigate administrative databases and surveys, as well as mixed-methods analyses that include users, clinicians, and decision-makers. Many of her studies have examined the quality of the mental healthcare system, with special focus on emergency departments and hospitalizations.
