Dr. Zenobia Talati is a Research Fellow within the ORIGINS Project at The Kids Research Institute Australia. She is part of the ORIGINS Research and Translation Team and is involved in a number of sub-projects including Flourishing Child and Iron Child. She is also affiliated with Curtin University and The University of Western Australia.
Zenobia’s research focusses on the psychology of health behaviour change through a better understanding of the environmental and individual level factors which influence behaviour, particularly among young children (0 – 11 years old) and their parents. Her research finds direct application through partnerships with health agencies and not-for-profits where her findings can be used to inform health promotion programs and create healthier environments for children and their carers.
Zenobia has received funding through Healthway grants (as lead and co-investigator) and demand-driven research (where she has led a number of commissioned evaluation reports). Her work has been published in leading Q1 journals.
