    Research Interests

    Dr Annie Janvier is a neonatologist, a clinical ethicist and an author working at the University of Montreal, Canada and Hôpital Sainte-Justine. She works first hand with patients and families confronted with difficult decisions such as end-of-life issues, and decision-making in the face of uncertainty.

    At University of Montreal, she is member of the Bureau de L’Ethique Clinique and co-directs the Masters and PhD programs in Clinical Ethics. At Sainte-Justine hospital, she is an active member of the Clinical Ethics Unit and Palliative Care Unit of Sainte-Justine Hospital and is the director of the Research Unit dedicated to Clinical Ethics and “Partnering with Families”.  Her main research interests in bioethics are decision-making for neonates and other incompetent patients with regards to the opinions and attitudes of caregivers and society. She investigates parental perspectives regarding intensive care decisions, death and disability. She has demonstrated many contrasts between provider and parental perspectives and investigates how to optimize communication between clinicians and patients/families. She also examines the positive impacts that follow the integration of “veteran” patients/parents in clinical care, teaching and research. In each of her projects she includes parents as co-investigators. She is author of many narratives, publications and books in clinical ethics and medicine

    Mosts Significants Contributions

    International impact and recognition

    Dr Janvier is a pioneer in empirical research in clinical ethics and in patient engagement. She is an internationally sough speaker who has given more than 200 presentations, often with patients. A well as having a strong national influence, she has been invited all over the world to optimize patient-engagement: Australia, New Zealand, USA, France, Belgium, The UK, Argentina, USA, etc She has catalyzed a culture change in family-engagement. She is sought internationally to be a co-investigator in international clinical trials, where she optimizes participation/consent issues with families, and also investigates patient perspectives.

    Investigations of family-important outcomes and decision-making for critical decisions, such as end of life decisions

    She has investigated the ethics of resuscitation at different stages of life and has demonstrated preconceptions and biases clinicians have; families have different values to providers. She is an international specialist on how to communicate with families in these tragic moments. Below are examples of these publications:

    Impact on the care of vulnerable children: giving a voice to communities

    Medical policy statements recommending how to take decisions for sick neonates at birth used to have a “futile” category. Unilateral decision-making for comfort care was recommended for preterm infants under 24 weeks (even of some survive with good outcomes) and for other neonates with specific chromosomal anomalies. Dr Janvier’s research, has demonstrated that parents do not agree with experts. They want to be considered in the most important decisions they make in their lives. This rigorous evidence has lead to a change in international guidelines. In many hospitals, preterm infants are no longer defined by their gestational age. Trisomy 13 and 18 are now considered to be “life-limiting conditions” for which shared decision-making with parents is essential. This has saved the lives of many children, optimized the death of others, and improved information/care given to vulnerable parents and bereaved families. Here are examples of the publications from these studies:

    Patient engagement in clinical ethics

    Dr Janvier has partnered with patients to investigate and teach bioethics. She the co-creator and co-director of the clinical ethics unit of CHU Sainte-Justine, where clinicians, researchers and patients optimize and promote ethical and human medicine. At Université de Montréal, she is the co-director of the clinical ethics Masters and PhD Programs, where she coordinates the research done in clinical ethics and patient engagement. She is a member of the BEC (Bureau de l’Éthique Clinique). Dr Janvier co-directs the « Unité de recherche en Éthique clinique et partenariat famille ». With her new program GIVE (GIving Everybody a Voice), all parents/patients who wish will continue being able to optimize research, teaching or clinical care. She has co-edited a book, “Ethique Clinique, un guide pour aborder la pratique”. She believes clinical ethics can be accessible to all, including patients. All the chapters in this book start with a vignette, created/reviewed by patients. She has created the POST group (Parents on the other side of Treatment): active in the academic spheres and optimize communication with families.

    Engagement in the community

    Dr Janvier is present in the patient community (as a cancer survivor and as the mother of a preterm daughter and an adopted son who had complex medical needs). She is active in Préma-Québec, Canadian Premature Baby Foundation and Terre des Hommes, as a physician, an ethicist and a mother. She is a passionate advocate. She is involved in the media and is the spokesperson for vulnerable children and families in the social sphere (radio, television, social media, newspapers). She sits on hospital and governmental committees to optimize the care of children. She has published the book “Respire, bébé, respire!” about her experience as the mother of a sick child, an ethicist and a doctor. This book about parental experiences is now used by providers and families with difficult pregnancies or a sick child.
