Sheila Dunn conducts clinical trials of hormonal contraceptives and means of medical abortion. With pharmacist Tom Brown, she is currently co-principal investigator on a study exploring the impact of recent changes to federal regulations which now allow emergency contraception (the "morning after pill") to be distributed without a prescription from behind the pharmacy counter. One year after these regulatory changes, the study will evaluate how access to ECP has been affected with a particular focus on pharmacy-related factors. This study builds on the team's earlier work on the Emergency Contraception Pilot Project.

Sheila Dunn represents the College of Family Physicians of Canada on a number of committees of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada including the Canadian Consensus on Contraception Working Group, and the Canada Contraception Awareness Program.
