Lyndal Trevena, MBBS, MPH, PhD, University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia
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.
