Dr Karen Lee

Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Implementation and scale-up)

Contact

Karen is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Prevention Research Collaboration based at the University of Sydney’s Charles Perkins Centre. Her research interests are in the area of implementation, scale up and evaluation of chronic disease prevention, obesity prevention and physical activity programs. She is particularly interested in examining how scaling up decisions and processes can be improved to achieve population health benefits.

Karen has worked extensively across both public and private sectors in the area of program and policy evaluation and health service redesign. She completed her doctorate at the University of Sydney and is passionate about advancing the field of implementation and scale up.
