Improving epidemiological assessment for the prevention of travel-related infectious diseases [ 5/1/2021 - 4/30/2024 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Understanding the epidemiology and healthcare burden of travel-related infections is important in order to improve the provision of pre-travel preventive healthcare in Australian travellers. Exploring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on perceptions of travel-related risks, attitudes towards travel, and pre-travel preventive health seeking behaviour is also critical to improve the provision of safe travel advice and optimise pre-travel preparation among Australian travellers.
