• Project Title: Translating Maternity Care Initiatives from one Community Hospital to Another (05/12-08/12)
• Project Description: During the third year of her undergraduate studies, Dr. Bourgeault’s research publications on Maternal Health and Midwifery inspired Shabnaz to be involved. As a student researcher, she worked with Dr. Bourgeault to evaluate the MSH-CARES Initiative with the greater goal of reducing C-section rates by 5% in low risk women. Her role as a researcher included exploring the requirements of an effective knowledge transfer of a multifaceted intervention to reduce C- section rates from one community hospital to another. This involved an exploration of why the Queensway Carleton Hospital (QCH) in Ottawa, Ontario is interested in adopting the MSH-CARES Initiative and how they intend on implementing this intervention.

• Project Title: Maternity care decisions made by late childhood, adolescent, and early adulthood cancer survivors. (01/12-04/12)
• Project Description: This research seeks to examine patterns of CAM use amongst cancer survivors during pregnancy, and illuminate existing trends. Of particular interest are the forms of CAM used and why. Ultimately, the study will contribute to a knowledge base from which health care professionals can draw to deliver more individualized care to survivors.
