DR EMILY POWER Research Associate EXPERTISE Cancer awareness, help-seeking behaviour, decision making and cancer screening, health information communication RESEARCH Research interests
Current research explores public awareness, attitudes and behaviour related to cancer prevention and early detection, the communication of health information and impact of mass media health campaigns and marketing designed to encourage cancer preventive or early detection behaviours. My PhD focused on understanding the psychosocial factors associated with participation in flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS) screening for colorectal cancer and explored interventions designed to improve knowledge about and uptake of FS screening. This work was carried out as part of a small feasibility study of nurse-led FS offered as a screening service in North West London.
