Translational Public Health and Evaluation Division
2019 group
About Translational Public Health and Evaluation
The focus of research for this group includes a range of projects related to improving clinical management of stroke, program evaluation research on disease prevention interventions, and health economic analyses to provide evidence for public health policy in stroke. Research quantifying the quality of stroke care in public hospitals is a major focus of the research activities. Our group contributes to evaluations of programs that have been designed to improve stroke care nationally, as wells as specific projects in Victoria and New South Wales.
We provide academic and statistical analyses for the National Stroke Foundation on several public health programs (e.g. Know Your Numbers blood pressure program) and health services evaluations (e.g. national audits of hospital care). Research staff in this group are based at Monash Medical Centre (Monash Health) and work in collaboration on several of these projects with staff at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health.
