My interests include the economics of sexual and reproductive health and women’s health.
My current and previous research studies include:
- Systematic reviews and economic modelling of self-care with WHO
- Discrete choice experiments of TB medical decision-making behaviours in Peru, South Africa, Uganda, and Vietnam (FEND)
- Behavioural studies, including discrete choice experiments, of long-acting HIV prevention technologies in Kenya and Uganda (UPTAKE)
- Development of costing and budgeting guidelines for community-led HIV responses with UNAIDS
- Economic evaluation of a community HIV and STI programme in Zimbabwe (CHIEDZA)
- Randomised trials and economic evaluations of community HIV self-testing in Malawi (STAR)
My PhD evaluated whether uptake of HIV testing and treatment could be increased in Malawi from community-led delivery of HIV self-testing, through which mechanisms, and whether such an approach is efficient and cost-effective.
