Research interests

  • Oral Health Equity

    Pauline’s research activities focus on oral health and its role in general health and wellbeing, with an interest in the social determinants of oral health. The majority of her research work is with groups who may have difficulty accessing appropriate oral health care, such as people with mental illness and the homeless community. Her research interests are the health behaviours associated with adverse oral and general health outcomes, such as tobacco use, poor diet and infrequent engagement with health care. This research area is by nature interdisciplinary and as such Pauline has an extensive network of collaborators in academia (dentistry, allied health, medicine, psychiatry, public health) and also in the health and community services sector. This enables research questions to be relevant and collaboratively designed and also ready translation of findings to practice.
