,
Research Interests
Dr. Chevrier is an Associate Professor of Epidemiology at McGill University, Associate Member of the McGill School of Environment and of the Institute for Health and Social Policy, and Canada Research Chair in Global Environmental Health and Epidemiology. He uses traditional and causal inference methods to investigate the human health effects of exposure to common environmental contaminants such as pesticides, flame retardants, plastic components and industrial by-products in Canada and around the world. He is the Principal Investigator of the VHEMBE Program, which investigates the environmental determinants of health and disease in rural South African mothers and children. He also applies and adapts causal methods to address methodological issues such as the healthy worker survivor effect (HWSE). His most recent research on this topic has involved the use and modification of g-estimation of accelerated failure-time models.
