Research area
I have a background in public health science. My research focuses on psychosocial aspects of diabetes, particularly:
- Experiences and perceptions of diabetes and psychosocial support: I explore the social, psychological, and cultural conditions of living with diabetes as well as encounters between people with diabetes and health professionals.
- Participatory intervention research: I draw on participatory approaches such as workshops and dialogue tools to actively involve people with diabetes, their family members and professionals in developing and evaluating methods for psychosocial support.
