Research
In 2020, Laura began her ESRC and Cambridge Trust-funded doctoral research to explore longitudinal aspects associated with adolescent dating violence victimisation at the IoC. Her research examines risk and protective factors, several mental health and wellbeing outcomes, and the influence of resilience portfolios on the longitudinal outcomes of victimisation. The project is supervised by Prof. Eisner (University of Cambridge) and Prof. Pereda (University of Barcelona).
Laura collaborates in violence prevention research projects related to the abuse of older people and to violence against women in the Demographic Change and Healthy Ageing Unit and the Department of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Research, respectively, at World Health Organization. Among these projects, she has participated in the development of a survey module to adequately measure violence against women aged 60 and over for the WHO Women’s health and life experiences questionnaire.
