Dr Jeffery Adams: Jeffery has a PhD in Psychology (University of Auckland). Jeff is a social and health researcher and evaluator. Since 2000 he has been based in university research centres, and is currently with the SHORE and Whariki Research Centre. As well as contributing to the development of teaching materials and delivery of the workshops for the National Public Health Evaluation Training Service, Jeff has experience tutoring undergraduate psychology students and teaching graduate level students studying health research methods (block course and online). This later group has included a number of adult students, including Maori and Pacific, returning to university after a break from study, requiring the teaching approach to incorporate diverse learning needs. Jeff also contributes to the Centre’s wider public health research programme across a number of topics (e.g., alcohol, physical activity, gambling, community-based health initiatives). In addition he maintains an active research programme in the area of gender, sexuality and health.
