About

###### Anastasiia is a Senior Research Associate at Bristol Medical School. She is a mixed-methods researcher focusing on the design and evaluation of behaviour change interventions. She has been leading multiple projects to improve health-related outcomes nationwide. Her main areas of interest include (but are not limited to) prevention of VAWG and criminal exploitation, and impact on policy and practice. Anastasiia got her PhD in Medical Studies from the University of Exeter, for which she received the International Excellence Scholarship for Postgraduate Research. Her PhD work investigated the effectiveness of violence prevention programmes, VAWG and masculinity, behaviour change processes and bystander decision making. Prior to her PhD, Anastasiia worked on an EU-funded road safety project in Kyiv, Ukraine, working with 10 countries to improve road safety and promote Sustainable Development Goals between 2014 and 2017. Whether you are looking to apply for a research funding, enhance employee performance, set up new data-driven strategies, improve customer engagement, or gain insights into behaviour change, drop me a line. How am I different from other researchers? I employ a pragmatic approach, therefore offering **flexibility, innovation and practicality**.
