IODE War Memorial Scholarship Award Winners


​At the 119th Annual Meeting in Saint John, NB, on 01 June 2019, IODE Canada announced the winners of three IODE War Memorial Scholarships for doctoral study.  The value of the awards are $15,000 each for 2019-2020.

Currently, Ivy-Lee is in her fifth year of the combined MSc/PhD program. Her dissertation is entitled, “Social influences, drinking motivations and alcohol outcomes in dyads.” She will examine the impact that romantic partners and friends have on an individual’s alcohol use and reasons for drinking. It will test theoretical questions about the social influences of drinking motivations and problem drinking. Through her research, Ivy-Lee, wants to educate individuals on the choice of their social connections have on their drinking habits, thus helping young adults make healthier choices for not only themselves but also partners and friends. Her future plans include conducting research on mental health and addictions, specifically targeting rural areas.
