About this position

Newcastle University (United Kingdom) is advertising a PhD studentship under NIHR ARC NENC on cardiovascular risk communication and preventative care in women with female-specific cardiovascular risk factors. The project uses a sequential mixed-methods design to explore women’s awareness of female-specific cardiovascular disease risks, their understanding of risk communication, and their experiences of preventative care.

This opportunity sits at the intersection of public health, medical science, psychology, and mixed methods research. The advert highlights female-specific risk factors such as PCOS/PMOS, hormonal contraception, gestational hypertension, menopause, and hormone replacement therapy, alongside broader cardiovascular risks. The study is framed by the need to improve diagnosis, medication management, and healthcare professional interactions for women.
