Dr Jodie Avery BA, BAppSc, MPH, PhD, is Senior Research Fellow and Imagendo Program Manager in the Adelaide Endometriosis Research Group with the Robinson Research Institute. As a chronic disease epidemiologist, her primary area of research has concerned non-invasive diagnosis, quality of life, and the intersection of women's chronic health conditions with psychosocial factors that may influence other associated comorbidities.
