Linda Carroll is an associate professor in the epidemiology stream of the Department of Public Health Sciences in the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta and is an associated research scientist with the Alberta Centre for Injury Control & Research. She is also an adjunct scientist with the Institute for Work & Health in Toronto. Dr. Carroll received her PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Manitoba, and her research interests are in the broad areas of psychosocial aspects of health and recovery from injury, psychological epidemiology, injury epidemiology, and patient-centered health outcomes. Her main topic of current research is to explore the inter-relationships among coping, depression and other psychological factors after soft tissue injuries, and to tease out their impact on recovery from such injuries.

Dr. Carroll has served on two international, multidisciplinary task forces. The first was the WHO Collaborating Centre on Neurotrauma Task Force on Mild Brain Injury, which, in 2004, published a best evidence synthesis based on original research and a systematic search and review of the world literature on mild traumatic brain injury. She was also a principal investigator and scientific secretary of the recently published Bone and Joint Decade 2000-2010 Task Force on Neck Pain and Associated Disorders (published February 2008, concurrently in the peer-reviewed journals, Spine and the European Spine Journal). This Task Force was given official status by the Steering Committee of the Bone and Joint Decade, which in an initiative of the United Nations and the World Health Organization. This large, 7-year collaborative effort included collaborators from nine countries and represented 19 clinical and scientific disciplines or specialties. The mandate of this task force was to synthesize the current best evidence on the epidemiology, assessment, course and prognosis and treatment of what is frequently referred to as "mechanical neck pain," and to do further original research in this area.

Dr. Carroll was supported by a Health Scholar Award from the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research from 2002 – 2007; and was recently awarded a Health Senior Scholar Award from that body for 2008 – 2015.
