She holds a M.Sc. degree in Experimental Health Sciences from the INRS-Institute Armand-Frappier and is currently a PhD student in Dental Sciences at McGill University under the supervision of Drs. Marie-Claude Rousseau and Belinda Nicolau. She is interested in the relations between residential neighbourhood characteristics and oral health. The main goal of her PhD project is to assess whether neighbourhood characteristics are associated with chronic oral diseases among children who attended to the first two visits of the QUALITY study; and to evaluate the extent to which these associations can be explained by individual attributes. Patricia Da Rosa performs children’s dental exams as a member of the team overseeing oral health data collection for the QUALITY study.
