PRESENTER 3

Dr. Trevena will discuss research findings in general and her latest research in particular that address issues related to adapting Western-based models of PCC in Asian cultures and resource constrained environments. As a key member of Centre for Medical Psychology & Evidence-based Decision-making (CeMPED) and an active general practitioner, Dr. Trevena's main research interest is the application of evidence in general practice, particularly in evidence-based clinical decision-making. She continues to develop and evaluate a number of decision tools and clinical practice guidelines, which assist clinicians and patients to individualize population-level research into practice. Much of this work has been in cancer and other disease prevention. More detail about this research program can be found at http://www.psych.usyd.edu.au/cemped/. She is particularly interested in preventive primary care strategies in disadvantaged groups & has worked with homeless people, low literacy groups and more recently in low-income country settings.
