School of Public Health and Community MedicineStatement of Interests:
Ethics is a structured process of reflection on values, beliefs, and on the acceptability or meaning of those values or held beliefs (and consequent actions). It is a tool of analysis and critique. Broadly, the application of ethics to health care issues is termed bioethics or health care ethics. When applied to health contexts, ethics can be used to reflect on issues ranging from the micro issues of health care treatment and health care relationships to the larger macro issues of health care systems, and even further to the broader societal issues of health and social structure. Catherine Berglund's area of interest lies mainly in the issues of: treatment and care, in specific health care contexts; and health care research ethics. Her research focus has included: professional standards and community views on health care ethics issues, children's consent and competency in health care treatment, community concerns in different health care contexts, accessibility of views through the media, privacy and confidentiality of medical records in medical research, children as participants in medical research, and community consultation about medical research.

The field of health promotion encompasses a wide range of strategies and sectors,with the social determinants of health providing a platform for analyses and action. Health promotion has an important role in fragile communities and societies: the health of a society is critical to its resilience; good health is required for communities and individuals to exercise their entitlements and rights. Innovative approaches (sports, the arts, respecting and integrating traditional practices to 'western approaches') to health promotion and in particular mental health promotion are of particular interest.Collaborative work with international colleagues is underway in a number of these areas.
