Social, cultural and health service determinants of adolescent family planning uptake in humanitarian crises
This potential project investigates socio-economic and employment factors that affect health behaviours such as sleep, nutrition, and physical exercise, and impact of those factors on body weight. We also look at how these aspects influence gender inequality in health behaviours and health outcomes.
In this program we aim to enhance population health by drawing on social theories from anthropology and sociology and by focussing on qualitative and mixed methods in our teaching (Qualitative Research Analysis) and our research concerning risk perceptions associated with health practices.
