Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Disease

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Family medicine, Gynecology, Cervical cancer, Cervical screening and Mass screening. Her Family medicine study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Breast cancer, Clinical trial, Physical therapy and Health education. Her research integrates issues of Cancer and Demography in her study of Gynecology.

The Cervical cancer study combines topics in areas such as Vaccination, Public health and Human papillomavirus. Her Cervical screening study combines topics in areas such as Psychosocial, Papillomaviridae, HPV infection and Sexually transmitted disease. In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Psychosocial, Colposcopy and Randomized controlled trial is strongly linked to Anxiety.

  • Exploring patient involvement in healthcare decision making across different education and functional health literacy groups. (235 citations)
  • Management of asthma in pregnancy guided by measurement of fraction of exhaled nitric oxide: a double-blind, randomised controlled trial. (223 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Family medicine, Health literacy, Overdiagnosis, Medical education and Psychological intervention. Her Family medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cancer screening, Cervical screening, Cervical cancer, Randomized controlled trial and Gynecology. Her studies deal with areas such as Physical therapy, Clinical trial and Anxiety as well as Randomized controlled trial.

Her Gynecology research includes elements of Young adult, Genital warts, Mass screening and Vaccination. Her Health literacy course of study focuses on Literacy and Patient participation and Health education.
