研究领域
My research focuses on understanding the reasons why some people do not take up cancer screening or visit the doctor early if they experience a symptom, and assessing the impact of screening on people who do take part. We develop and test tools designed to support earlier symptom presentation, engagement with screening, and treatment decision making in higher risk groups including older people, people from lower socioeconomic groups, and those at increased genetic risk. An example of a current project is ABACus (Awareness and Beliefs About Cancer), funded by Cancer Research UK and conducted in partnership with Tenovus Cancer Care. The aim is to develop and evaluate the health check intervention – an interactive touchscreen intervention delivered by a trained lay advisor, with the purpose of encouraging cancer awareness and help seeking among people living in socioeconomically deprived communities.
