John Lavis
Professor, Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact

My focus is generating action on the pressing health and social issues of our time. I do this based on the best-available research evidence, as well as experiences and insights from citizens, professionals, organizational leaders, and government policymakers. I undertake some of my work under the McMaster Health Forum banner, and other work in my role as co-lead of the secretariats for Rapid-Improvement Support and Exchange RISE), COVID-19 Evidence Network to support Decision-making (COVID-END), and Global Commission on Evidence to Address Societal Challenges.
