Students can elect to take a Research Project (PHCM9148) as part of their coursework degree. The project comprises an in-depth study of a public health, health management or international health issue or topic. The project may be in the form of a small-scale research study, a case study, a program evaluation or a report on field placement. Students wishing to enrol in a project must obtain permission.

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.

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.
The overall aim of this project is to systematically identify and review enhanced health, wellbeing, and resilience programs in a tertiary teaching environment and critically appraise the effectiveness of these programs. If you are interested in undertaking this special research project for Semester 1 or 2, 2017, please contact Maria Agaliotis.
