Dr. Laberge earned her Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Therapy in 1994. She then specialized in Ergonomics (MSc, 1995 and PhD, 2011). Dr. Laberge hopes to develop research programming geared toward work disability prevention and the development and evaluation of novel interventions in order to facilitate the workplace integration of pediatric populations for whom entering the workforce represents a challenge. She is also interested in preventing occupational musculoskeletal disorders in populations of young workers. Furthermore, she is interested in exposure to certain risk factors based on sub-populations and their effects on occupational safety such as differences related to gender, age, socio-economic status and cultural origins. She was recently awarded a CIHR Team Grant for evaluating the effectiveness of sex- and gender-based analysis on knowledge translation interventions.
