Dr Elizabeth Holmes-Truscott is a Senior Research Fellow at The Australian Centre for Behavioural Research in Diabetes. Her applied program of research focuses on understanding and addressing diabetes stigma; reducing barriers to optimal self-care, and the promotion of person-reported outcome assessment alongside biomedical markers.
