Available Research Projects are listed below. If you are interested in undertaking one of the research projects listed please contact the academic member of staff directly.
Master Public Health / Master International Public Health Research Project
Preliminary analysis of calibration data recently (Nov 2018) collected in Sri Lanka has indicated that one of the glucose meters used in a previous population survey appears to be reading low compared to new glucose meters (an strips). Glucose and cholesterol meters used in previous population surveys in 2014 and 2017 in Sri Lanka have been brought to Sydney for further testing. A research project is available to test these machines on volunteers compared to new Australian meters (and strips) for comparison in order to determine the existence and extent of measurement bias. If such bias is found statistical adjustment of data already collected in 2014 and 2017 will be necessary. A report for research collaborators in Australia and Sri Lanka will be prepared.

Alcohol and Harm Minimisation: Students’ Attitudes to Harm Minimisation Messages with Dr Rose Leontini
There is a growing body of work on alcohol use by undergraduate university students in Australia and comparable countries with evidence that this cohort engages in higher levels of episodic drinking than their non-university peers. In a large qualitative Australian study conducted between 2011-2014, students across two different universities and seven university residential colleges were interviewed about their alcohol use and harm minimization practices. This part of the project was important for understanding how young people interpret messages on harm minimization in relation to alcohol use, and the socio-cultural and ethical dimensions of harm minimization messages used to target particular population groups.
