Her work also considers the impact of social influences on change initiatives.
Research Interests
Dr. Glegg's program of research focuses on knowledge translation and implementation science - examining the factors that influence the exchange and use of knowledge to improve health care services, systems and outcomes, and testing the effectiveness of tailored interventions to facilitate change. Examples of applications of her mixed methods approaches include the study of technology adoption for rehabilitation, longitudinal monitoring of the implementation and scale up of addiction treatment and harm reduction strategies to address the toxic drug poisoning crisis, and the use of social network analysis to examine the patterns of social connections among individuals, organizations and groups and how they influence or can be targeted to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of knowledge sharing and uptake of best practices.
