Meet one of our main speakers for the launch event, Professor Noreen Mdenge @noreenmdege. She is an associate professor of Health Sciences at the University of York @UniOfYork. Noreen Mdege's research interests cover alcohol consumption, tobacco use, medication adherence and low and income countries (LMIC). She is interested in individual-level and population-level health perspectives and approaches, and specific populations such as HIV positive and TB patients. Her main interests are in observation research; intervention development and evaluation; intervention mechanisms of action; intervention implementation and scale-up; and how alcohol and tobacco affect the incidence, trajectory and outcomes of other comorbidities such as AIDS-related and non-AIDS-related cancer and other non-cancer conditions among HIV positive and TB patients. Noreen is also interested in HIV/AIDS or TB related health outcomes. She uses both quantitative and qualitative research methods.
