Research

Sally has worked in the Department of Primary Health Care and General Practice since 2000 as a co-investigator, principal investigator and project manager on a range of projects related to women’s health. Her current research relates primarily to sexual and reproductive health, particularly issues that most commonly affect young people in New Zealand such as high rates of sexually transmitted infections (especially Chlamydia) and unintended pregnancy. Sally received her PhD from Victoria University (Wellington) in cognitive neuropsychology.

A current project is STI Partner Notification Research. This is a group of studies assessing current and new approaches to the delivery of partner notification and testing for reinfection following diagnosis of Chlamydia or Gonorrhoea (Funders: HRC Feasibility Study, Lotteries Health Research and University of Otago).
