Andy McLennan joined the Health Psychology Lab, as a graduate student, after completing his Honours BA at the University of Calgary. While at the University of Calgary, Mr. McLennan worked closely with Dr. Linda Carlson and co-authored several published health psychology papers. Broadly, Andy’s research interests include psychometrics, pain assessment, and chronic illness in older adults. His masters research was supported, in part, through a Canada Master’s Award from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Andy’s doctoral research, which examines the psychometric properties of observational pain assessment tools for older adults with severe dementia, is supported by a national fellowship from the Alzheimer Society of Canada. Andy consistently presents his research at national and international conferences and has published several papers in peer-reviewed journals. He is a former competitive junior hockey player contributing to our lab’s appreciation of sport and exercise.
