Rosanne Freak-Poli

BSc, BHealthSci

Research Assistant

Rosanne completed a BHealthSci and a BSci at the University of Adelaide in 2005, with majors in Statistics, Psychology and a double  major in Public Health.

Working with Dr Anna Peeters and A/Prof  Maxmillian de Courten, Rosanne is involved in the GCC Evaluation  study. The study aims to evaluate a four month,  low-impact, pedometer-based physical-activity approach, named the Global Corporate Challenge (GCC), by assessing whether participation  reduces the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Data will  be collected 4 times over an 18 month period to allow longitudinal  evaluation of the program’s short and long term effects and to determine predictors of successful participation in the GCC at four months, one year and 18 months. These evaluation results will be used to further improve and tailor  workplace interventions.
