Jan Angus

Dr. Angus studies issues in gender, health, and access to health care using qualitative methods to examine the contextual influences on health related decisions and practices.  Her current work is substantively focused on opportunities, barriers and resources that differently condition: 1) access to cancer screening, 2) access to health care, and 3) attempts to modify cardiovascular risk. This work draws on critical social theories and qualitative methodologies such as critical ethnography and photo-elicitation.
