If you are considering doing a PhD in aged care research, you may be interested in this exciting new project. This project will involve using ‘big data’ to examine mental health service use among older Australians and how these services impact wellbeing and outcomes. The student will be co-supervised by Dr Monica Cations (Flinders) and by Associate Professor Maria Inacio (SAHMRI), working with ROSA data. This project would suit a student with an interest in epidemiology/public health, and who enjoys quantitative data analysis.

Dr Monica Cations is also looking to recruit a PhD student for an applied research project at Flinders looking to adapt trauma-informed care for aged care settings - for more information on either of these two projects, please contact Monica.

To see ideas of other potential PhD projects with the ROSA team, please visit the Student Project section of our website and download the Student Information Booklet.
