Research
Rebecca’s Ph.D. researched is aimed at measuring and valuing adolescents’ quality of life in the context of a school-based multi-component menstrual health intervention – MENISCUS – in Uganda. Using the profile case best-worst scaling method, she will conduct a choice experiment to estimate utility tariffs for a preference-based quality of life measure for children and adolescents in Uganda. She will also assess the impact of MENISCUS on adolescent girls’ quality of life.
Her research work prior to joining LSHTM focused on economic evaluations, assessment of household air pollution exposures and associated health impact, and household clean energy use and adoption.
