About the School/Department/Institute/Project

The ASP-Belong project involves the development and testing of an augmented reality intervention based on the principles of solution focused therapy, to improve social connectedness within schools, and ultimately reduce mental distress. Randomised Control Trials will be set up in collaboration with local research institutions in the UK, Ireland, Austria, Germany, Portugal and Czechia to test the efficacy of the intervention.

The Physician dual practice project aims at improving the understanding of physicians’ simultaneous engagement in public and private services in Mozambique and South Africa, and design suitable regulatory interventions. The project encompasses conducting qualitative interviews in the two countries, implementing a discrete-choice experiment, and developing an Agent-Based Model to predict reactions to different forms of regulation.
