Nisha Malhotra

Nisha Malhotra has spent the last 20 years as a professor of teaching in the Economic Department at UBC, and have broad experience in teaching courses on research methods, and statistical analyses. I have also supported community-centred, health services research and knowledge translation projects that advance equity, safety, and respect in perinatal services in Canada and globally. I also have experience with survey design and evaluation and have worked with large datasets such as the Canadian Tobacco-Use Monitoring and Demographic Health Surveys, and a provincially run social program called the 'rent bank'. My current research interests are related to issues of gender, health-seeking behaviour, health econometrics, and maternal and child health. In addition to teaching courses, I have supervised undergraduates and graduate research assistants on large research projects, including a study on Brain Injury knowledge among South Asian women facing intimate partner violence. My current role includes conducting quantitative, mixed-methods, and psychometric evaluation of data generated by research projects at the Birth Place Lab, and providing consultation to trainees, early career scholars, and community partners. I have worked across disciplinary boundaries at UBC and enjoy meeting new minds, exchanging knowledge, and working on collaborations.
