I have three active, ongoing, lines of research: the history of malaria elimination attempts in Africa; a project with development economists about research ethics; and public health research in Oregon involving students and a local NGO focused on the needs and experiences of people who inject drugs (PWIDs).
Here, the author outlines the focus of her research and outlines the content which will follow. This is a strong, comprehensive opening statement and indicates to the reader what the page will describe. Furthermore, it is inspiring how expansive and multifaceted Graboyes' research is. While the projects follow a similar trend of focusing on the ethics of public health and research, it's valuable tog ain information from multiple situations.
