Andraea Van Hulst

I am an Associate Professor in the Ingram School of Nursing and an FRQ-S Junior 2 Researcher specializing in childhood obesity, cardiometabolic health, and lifestyle behaviours. My research draws on population-based, clinical, and community programming data to examine how early-life experiences, family dynamics, and broader environmental contexts shape health behaviours and influence obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular outcomes from infancy through adolescence. This work supports the development, implementation, and evaluation of health promotion and prevention strategies for children and their families.
