Dawn Mackey

I am an Epidemiologist working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada. I lead the Aging and Population Health Lab, where we design, evaluate, and implement strategies to support older adult mobility and health behaviour change. Our current areas of concentration are physical activity promotion and fall and injury prevention, and our work spans community to long-term care settings. I was recognized as a leading scholar in the field of health and aging by an Age+ Prize from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and a Scholar Award from the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research.
