Dr Candice Oster

Dr Candice Oster has a psychology and behavioural health background and has undertaken research across the spectrum of behavioural health, from theories and models of health behaviour and individual-level interventions through to community, organisational, and policy/structural contexts, including social determinants of health.

Her current research explores social prescribing and the application of digital health technology in health coaching. She has extensive experience as a qualitative and mixed methods researcher, including participatory research approaches such as photovoice and co-design and the use of implementation science to understand implementation processes and outcomes.

Dr Oster has an interest in the use of theory as an interpretive lens in research, with a focus on exploring theories of place/space across a range of contexts.
