Nancy Carnide joined the RAACWI community in 2006 under the Health & Well-Being theme. She is a Research Associate at the Institute for Work & Health. Nancy holds a Master's Degree in Epidemiology from the University of Toronto and will begin her PhD studies in Epidemiology at the University of Toronto in September 2008. Her research focuses on work disability prevention, with current interests in mental health, co-morbidities, and their impact on work absence (absenteeism) and work limitations (presenteeism). Working with Dr. Renée-Louise Franche, the focus of Nancy's work for RAACWI has primarily been on describing the mental health of workers following a work-related musculoskeletal injury, documenting the prevalence, incidence, and course of depressive symptoms, and the prevalence of mental health diagnosis and treatment.
