Mrs Sascha Miller BSc, MSc

Postgraduate research student

Sascha Miller postgraduate research student within the Centre for Community and Clinical Applications of Health Psychology, Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences.

Sascha Miller is an ESRC funded PhD student. For her research she is developing a protocol to help breakdown large-scale usage data from digital behaviour change interventions. This process will lead to a better understanding of engagement with interventions and how behaviour change is achieved.

Prior to starting her PhD, Sascha spent three years as a research assistant within CCCAHP. During that time she worked on the PRIMIT project developing a website to lower the spread of infections within households, and StopAdvisor, a smoking cessation website.

As part of her PhD, Sascha is responsible for disseminating the PRIMIT website – now called Germ Defence – to the public. Using the protocol she developed, she will be comparing usage in the public domain to usage during a randomised controlled trial.
