Kristin Thomas
Research Fellow
I am a researcher in the field of implementation research.
Presentation
My interests are implementation of health promotion in health care services; behaviour change among staff and patients, and patients’ role in implementation processes.
My PhD project looks at the implementation of a coordinated care initiative in primary care, so called Lifestyle teams. The teams aim to improve work routines of screening and counselling of unhealthy lifestyles and behaviour change. Implementation is investigated using patient and staff perspectives in terms of implementation process and outcomes. One of the studies specifically explores patients’ role in implementation processes. Another study is a process evaluation of the implementation including a five year period.
