Biography
Dr Jasmin Grigg PhD MPH BPsych(Hons) is a Senior Research Fellow in Addiction Studies at Monash University (Eastern Health Clinical School, Faculty of Medicine Nursing and Health Sciences) and Turning Point, Eastern Health.
Her research focuses on the development of novel public health interventions to reduce alcohol and drug harms, including raising awareness of the low levels of drinking that contribute to cancer incidence. She uses co-design and hybrid effectiveness-implementation research methods that involve close collaboration with consumer, community and government stakeholders, to develop and implement evidence-based, scalable preventive and early interventions, to reduce the gap in service provision for populations not accessing conventional alcohol and drug support. She leads Health4Her, a VicHealth funded digital preventive intervention co-designed with women for implementation in breast screening services to raise awareness of the alcohol-breast cancer link. She has been an Investigator on the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) funded nationwide Ready2Change intervention trials for alcohol and methamphetamine use disorders, and a National Centre for Clinical Research on Emerging Drugs (NCCRED) funded co-design and implementation project to translate forensic data from police drug seizures into clinical alerts to improve public health.
She has additionally led multiple projects that have informed government decision-making, health service delivery and client care, including research commissioned by the Victorian Department of Health (e.g. development of the Methamphetamine Treatment Guidelines), the Victorian Department of Transport and Planning, and the Victorian Mental Health Complaints Commissioner.
