Research Interests

Dr. Wilk’s research focuses on the onset and progression of chronic diseases and the links between social determinants of health, health-related modifiable behaviours, and environmental factors at the local, national and international level. In particular, he is interested in assessing the contribution of socioeconomic, behavioural and environmental risk factors to hospitalization encounters using linked survey and administrative datasets.
