Dr. Mackenzie McKeown is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow under the supervision of Dr. Colleen Dell at the University of Saskatchewan. Her research areas are rooted in public health, transportation safety, and occupational medicine. Her PhD research examined the health, cognition, worker productivity, driver perceptions, and driving performance of Canadian long-haul truck drivers as well as performing a national needs assessment of the truck stop work environment. Dr. McKeown’s current research investigates the prevalence, policies, and impacts of companion animals (e.g., pets; service animals; therapy animals) in long-haul trucking, including outcomes for driver health, safety, and wellbeing.
