Dr. Duncan鈥檚 research is focused on investigating strategies to support the initiation and maintenance of physical activity and health behaviour change; particularly among those who face disproportionate risks from unhealthy behaviours (e.g., cancer survivors), or those who face disproportionate challenges to engaging in health behaviour (e.g., medically-underserved populations or the elderly). Dr. Duncan鈥檚 research focuses primarily on the promotion of exercise and physical activity; however, she has a keen interest in a wide variety of health behaviours including but not limited to:

• Healthy eating
• Smoking cessation
• Prevention of alcohol, tobacco, and drug use
  鈥�

Currently, Dr. Duncan is working on developing interventions to motivate and support physical activity participation among women who are undergoing treatment for cancer. She also is collaborating on a series of projects in the evolving area of 鈥渟erious games鈥� (i.e., videogames intended for use in education or health) with the goal of developing innovative evidence-based educational materials and targeted videogame interventions for risk reduction and prevention in youth and young adults. Dr. Duncan believes strongly in taking a theory-based approach to health-behaviour research as well as partnering with community-based organizations to develop practically-relevant and sustainable interventions. Dr. Duncan maintains a network of multi-disciplinary research partners and is excited to expand her collaborative network.
