Research Expertise

Nadia Giguère employs qualitative social science methodologies to examine intersections between healthcare trajectories and professional practices. Her research spans three main domains: social assistance mechanisms and their impacts, interprofessional and intersectoral dynamics in work disability management, and participatory approaches in perinatal healthcare. She emphasizes documenting how professional interventions influence health equity, particularly for marginalized populations.

Scientific Contributions

Projects often involve interdisciplinary teams and address systemic challenges in occupational health, mental health services, and family-centered care models.
