Dr Martha Morrow (BA, MA, PhD) is a health social scientist with a background in Asian languages and societies. As Head of the Inclusive Development Practice Unit Martha provides direction to a team of specialists and to the Institute's growing program of disability-inclusive development. Martha’s particular interests in inclusion relate to slum development and gender norms and health risks for both sexes.
Martha’s primary work spans applied multi-disciplinary research, program design and evaluation. Since joining the University of Melbourne in 1993, she has conducted numerous intensive courses, workshops and mentoring to build research skills for developing country settings. She has also undertaken many in-country research collaborations and program design/ evaluation consultancies.
Martha’s current collaborative research covers HIV risk and harm reduction among female injecting drug users in Vietnam; tobacco control and male gender norms; and development and equity in Delhi’s urban slums. Her current and recent research student supervision topics include: policing and harm reduction in Vietnam; integrating HIV programs into health services in Zambia; appropriate water and sanitation projects for rural East Timor; adherence to anti-retroviral therapy in Zimbabwe; TB control in Uzbekistan; and smoking among medical students in Pakistan.
Martha’s consultancies include: Vietnam youth HIV program design (Asian Development Bank); Vietnam's 5-year tobacco control plan (Swedish International Development Agency); Baseline survey and interim evaluation of maternal-child health project in North Korea (WHO); gender specialist in HIV/AIDS Asia Regional Program (AusAID); maternal-child health project evaluation in Laos (World Vision); adolescent health program review in Mongolia (WHO).
