Dr. Dean’s research focuses on the global crisis of lifestyle conditions (heart disease, smoking-related conditions, cancer, hypertension and stroke, obesity, diabetes, and osteoporosis) – their epidemiology and cross cultural means of maximizing outcomes of health education and interventions. She conducts research in the Middle East and Asia as well as multicultural Canada. Dr. Dean has conducted extensive work on the management of chronic poliomyelitis based on a model of health and consideration of cultural factors; and related to exercise physiology and oxygen transport in people with complex morbidity (ICU to the community). Currently, she is focusing on effective knowledge translation of existing and new knowledge by physical therapists to meet the health care needs of people globally in the 21st century.
Dr. Dean will supervise graduate students with an interest in the influence of cultural factors on health outcomes, behaviours and beliefs and the role of physical therapists.
