Bio

Dr. Roberta de Carvalho Corôa was born in Brazil and earned her PhD in sociology at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Since 2010, she has been working as a research collaborator at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, the largest public health institution in Latin America. In 2021, she began her postdoctoral fellowship at the Canada Research Chair in Shared Decision Making and Knowledge Mobilization at Université Laval. She has since been working on implementation science with the goal of demonstrating and scaling the impact of interventions that can enhance people’s experiences with healthcare systems. She is particularly interested in patient-centered approaches in research. It is crucial for her to bring a sociological perspective, representing Global South knowledge, to the field of public health. Her ongoing projects aim to identify effective strategies for involving patients and the public in scaling health and social services, as well as to develop scalable patient decision aids for vulnerable women in Brazil and Canada.
