Research In Profile
Professor Tara Mantler's program of research focuses on women’s health wherein she seeks to explore, understand, and test interventions to improve the health of women. Her research examines women’s health with an emphasis on the intersection with intimate partner violence, rurality, and mothering. As an equity researcher her methods are grounded in an intersectional lens, focusing on power dynamics and how the various roles women possess in their lives impact approaches to health and interactions with health systems/services. Within her program of research, her interests fall into two areas: 1) Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)- Examining the impact of intimate partner violence on women’s health; and 2) Maternal/Child Health- Examining factors that influence maternal decision making and subsequently maternal/child health
