Meet Dr. Elizabeth Lin!

Dr. Elizabeth (Betty) Lin is a CAMH Scientist who joined the Department of Education in 2019. Prior to that, she was with the Provincial System Support Program (PSSP) and the Health Systems Research Unit, also at CAMH.

Her work focuses on mental health and addictions services research, and education evaluation. Her health services work has used large administrative and survey datasets to answer questions about access, unmet need, and other kinds of health system gaps.

The unifying thread in her work is a keen interest in performance and evaluation indicators, what kind of information they do or do not provide, and what kinds of conclusions and actions they can inspire.
