Catherine graduated from a Bachelor of Health at Macquarie University and has been involved in numerous qualitative research projects and research reports coming out of Dr Julie Brown’s Group at NeuRA. She has previously used a focus group approach to investigate the barriers that motorcyclists face in using motorcycle protective clothing and their needs in terms of safety equipment. She was also involved in conducting and analysing focus group and consumer testing data which aimed to compare the effectiveness of enhanced materials on correct use of child restraints. She is currently working on recruiting participants and data collection for a randomised control trial studying the effectiveness of different information materials on correct use of child restraints. She is also helping to collect data for a observational study aimed at collecting up-to-date population estimates for errors in child restraint use.
