Larry Svenson

My research interests primarily centred around the use of administrative health databases to examine health status, health service use, and outcome measurement. My methodological strengths are in quantitative research, epidemiology, and administrative health data. I have numerous projects with researchers and policy makers covering a vast array of topics, with an applied focus related to health policy development and practice.
