Research Interest
My research focuses on health communication and (shared) decision-making in different clinical areas, such as cardiovascular disease and oncology and pharmacy, using a range of research methods including video-observations, qualitative interviews, experimental studies and randomised controlled trials. I have a special interest in decision-making among older adults and their clinicians. Current projects focus on communication and decision making around topics such as appropriate prescribing of medications for older adults, breast cancer screening and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The ultimate aim of my research is to optimize health communication and decision-making by developing practical interventions for patients as well as clinicians.
