| Research Interests The primary focus of Dr. Lee's research is related to the use of medications with interest in both safety related issues (pharmacoepidemiology) and costs associated with medication use (pharmacoeconomics) and the intersection of the two disciplines. The majority of his research has been in the area of chronic respiratory disease, with a particular interest in COPD. In addition, he is currently conducting work that focuses on patient outcomes amongst those with co-occuring multiple chronic conditions and the delivery of care to these patients. Education |
