Principal Research Fellow
Overview
Dr Judith Dean, a Registered Nurse/Midwife with over 25-years clinical and research experience in sexual and reproductive health (SRH), HIV and other BBV, is a Senior Research Fellow in the School of Public Health.
Her research focuses on the SRH of priority ‘at risk’ populations using mixed methods and longitudinal qualitative community-based participatory approaches. The overall aim of her program of research is to address inequities of access to SRH education and services through innovative models of care and workforce development. She has a strong background working in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities, sex workers organisations, gender and sexually diverse young people, and the LGBTIQ+ community.
She is currently leading projects exploring innovative models of HIV Self-testing dissemination, access to peer-led Molecular point of care STI testing, transgender care, syphilis in pregnancy and access to pregnancy options, abortion and contraception. From 2016 to 2019, she was the co-ordinating investigator on the Queensland PrEP Demonstration Monitoring and Evaluation study. Her other projects and areas of interst include exploring the experiences of newly diagnosed PLHIV including implementation of a Peer Navigation program, access to SRH care for gender and sexually diverse young people and the sexual health literacy of CALD youth in Queensland.
Prior to joining UQ as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in 2015, Judith held a joint appointment for 14 years between Griffith University School of Nursing and Midwifery where she held the title of Griffith Graduate Sexual Health Program Convenor and Queensland Health where in her role as State Nurse Educator for Queensland Sexual Health and HIV Services she was responsible for state-wide coordination and development of clinical practice standards, policy and professional development programs for specialist advanced practice nurses working in SRH and HIV. She completed her Doctor of Philosophy in 2014 titled Sexual health knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of Queensland Sudanese communities.
Judith has extensive educational and clinical expertise in SRH, HIV, and women’s health in a diverse range of national and international settings. Before moving into SRH and HIV education and research, she worked clinically as a midwife and SRH Nurse in a range of locations in Australia and overseas . This includes over 5 years working in the Northern Territory as a Midwife and remote area nurse along with two years with International Committee of Red Cross in settings such as South Sudan and Afghanistan developing midwifery training programs and models of care for women and their familes experiencing conflict and displacement.
I am available to supervise PhD students, Honours and Maser of Public Health projects.

Community-based participatory research with embedded co-design approaches
Judith works closely with community, service providers and her research partners to make sure her research is community driven and translates directly into practice and service development. She advocates strongly for research that addresses health inequalities and facilitate equitable access to appropriate accessible services for all Queenslanders.
Research Impacts
I am a member of a multidisciplinary research team focused on developing, implementing, and evaluating innovative models of sexual and reproductive health and HIV care and prevention. My research is designed in partnership with community to reduce HIV and STI prevalence and addresses health inequalities by facilitating equitable access to appropriate accessible SRH and HIV services for all Queenslanders. I am currently leading projects exploring innovative models of HIV Self-testing dissemination and access to peer-led Molecular POC STI testing that has led to standardisation of these services for infrequent and on-testers. My research into syphilis in pregnancy and access to women-centred termination of pregnancy care is addressing key contemporary areas of policy reform and need. In partnership with a wider range of research and community partners I am also an investigator on projects exploring the experiences of newly diagnosed PLHIV including implementation of a Peer Navigation program and the use of quality improvement indicators to improve access to and uptake of STI testing among urban Indigenous peoples. I have a strong background working with community organisations and key government stakeholders and policy makers to ensure my research is community driven by key partners organisation. My research has had direct service provision and policy impact on the SRH of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities, sex workers, gender and sexually diverse young people, and the LGBTIQ+ community.
