Addressing evidence-practice gaps in chronic disease prevention and control [ 2015 - 2019 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Anushka Patel (Principal investigator)

Brief description Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of premature death and disability worldwide. Effective treatments for prevention and control of these conditions are available however their use remains far from optimal, in Australia and globally. My current and proposed research will develop and evaluate highly innovative solutions to reduce large evidence-practice gaps in healthcare delivery. These include task shifting to non-physician health workers and novel approaches to drug delivery.
