Cohort 3

Dr. Nicole G Hammond is a psychiatric epidemiologist and a postdoctoral fellow with research interests in health equity and determinants of mental health across the lifespan. Her work integrates the fields of psychiatric and life course epidemiology, population health equity, and mediational and causal inference methods. She examines how early-life adversity and social determinants shape health across the life course. She is particularly interested in the mechanisms by which early-life adversity and social determinants affect health to isolate factors amenable to intervention, or not, when the opportunity for prevention has elapsed. Her work also directly informs upstream early-life stress prevention and health promotion initiatives. She is a recognized Emerging Scholar (2024) with the Canadian Research Data Centre Network, and her postdoctoral research at the University of Manitoba is funded through a CIHR Canada Postdoctoral Research Award (CPRA).
