Doctor of Philosophy – Public Health

I'm a medical doctor from Argentina with an initial clinical background and health services auditing later. I have been developing my skills in Public Health in Australia since 2019 at the SPH at UTS. 

After producing a master's thesis on culturally appropriate indicators of Aboriginal Australians' primary health care, along with my supervisors, Prof Nikki Percival and Prof Andrew Hayen, I am translating that experience into a community centre of the Latino community (my community) in Western Sydney. 

RESEARCH THESIS

Feasibility of developing indicators to assess the impact of community-centred activities on the health, wellbeing, and social determinants of health of the Latino Australian community in NSW. A multiple-case study.

Community-centred activities in health promotion can have a significant impact on cultural minorities under health disparities.

By being produced with the active participation of stakeholders and researchers belonging to the community, they can tackle social determinants of health, like language and cultural barriers, not reachable by mainstream health promotion campaigns.

Assessing their impact on people's health and wellbeing is essential to keep them supported and incorporated into the public health agenda.

Culturally appropriate indicators appear as measures produced in participatory research that can capture the outcomes that matter to each community, hence as valuable ways of evaluating the activities in community centres and keeping them reported to government areas.

They are also a way for policymakers to remain updated with what is occurring in each cultural minority.

  • Supervisor: Prof Nikki Percival
  • Co-Supervisor: Prof Andrew Hayen
