BCCHR Researchers Find a Researcher

Christine Voss

BSc, MSc, PhD

Investigator, BC Children's Hospital
Investigator, Centre for Chronic Disease Prevention and Management

The overall goals of my research are to investigate how physical activity behaviours relate to current and long-term health outcomes in children in both clinical and community-based settings, and to identify strategies to improve physical activity participation in children.

I am primarily based at the UBC Centre for Chronic Disease Prevention and Management in Kelowna, where I collaborate with the Interior Health Authority on projects relating to pediatric health. I am also an Investigator with the BC Children's Hospital Research Institute, where I collaborate closely with the Pediatric Cardiology team.
