Graham Mecredy is a Research Officer at the Ontario Tobacco Research Unit (OTRU). He received his MSc in Community Health and Epidemiology from Queen’s University. His thesis work focused on the relationship between neighbourhood street connectivity and both physical activity and injury in Canadian youth. At OTRU, Graham is working on a number of projects, including the Ontario Tobacco Survey (a population representative longitudinal cohort study), and a Canadian Institutes of Health Research funded study on policy options to reduce tobacco retail availability. He is also involved with the Population Research Initiative on Mental Health and Addictions (PRIMHA).
