PhD research
Daphea is currently undertaking a PhD at Monash University; the training is fully supported by UNICEF/UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR). My PhD research is focusing on the Health Seeking Behaviour of people living with tuberculosis and their family in relation to prevention treatment and care of the disease.
Daphea is interested in research on social and cultural aspects related to public health interventions. Her doctoral research looks at pathways of TB patients from the onset of complaints until cured from the disease. She employed ethnographic mixed method s(quantitative and qualitative) to explore what TB patients and family members do before entering the directly observed treatment short course (DOTS), during the course of their treatment and after treatment. Based on this she elaborates socio cultural factors that shape patients' routes toward TB diagnosis and treatment.
