Biography
Julie-Anne Carroll, PhD, is a Lecturer in the School of Public Health & Social Work (SPHSW), Queensland University of Technology (QUT). She lectures in the areas of Gender Equity, the Social Determinants of Health, and Sociology and Health. Her PhD investigated how place of residence acts as a social determinant of health, and how aspects of people and places interact over time to produce inequalities in health. She is interested in how the social, cultural, and geographic spaces that people inhabit influence their lifestyles and consequently their health and well-being. She is currently PI on a Sexual Health Research Fund (SHRF) that is investigating the acceptability and feasibility of Antibiotics as STI Preventative Treatments in at-risk social groups such as GBMSM, Indigenous communities, sex workers and highly sexually active young people. She has also worked extensively on m-health app development and GIS tracking on mobile phones for diagnosis and behaviour change. She is passionate about recognising the need for structural, economic, and political changes to reduce social, economic, and health inequalities globally, and using digital and technological strategies to achieve this.Key Research interests
