Key affiliations include the National Institute of Public Health of Quebec (INSPQ) and the Réseau de recherche en santé des populations du Québec (RRSPQ).
Her 2016–2020 project, funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, developed spatial indices (Exposure to Gambling Index and Vulnerability Index) to map geographic disparities in gambling access and inform public health interventions. She advocates for policies reducing health inequalities through environmental design and preventive measures.
