Professor Bruce Hollingsworth
Profile:Professor Bruce Hollingsworth is Director of the Centre for Health Economics, Monash University. He is recipient of a Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth) Public Health Fellowship. His previous appointment was at the University of Newcastle, UK. He has a PhD (Newcastle, UK), MSc Health Economics (York, UK), and BA (Hons) Economics. Research and international collaborative publications are principally in the area of efficiency measurement with respect to the production of health and health care, social determinants of health, and the translation of research into practice. Among current grants, he is Chief Investigator on a $1.8 million NHMRC Programme Grant on chronic disease prevention, Chief Investigator on a $660,000 NHMRC grant on the costs and benefits of complimentary and alternative medicine, Chief Investigator A on two ARC Discovery Grants, for $176,500 to look at health production, and for $230,000 to look at the economics of obesity, as well as Associate Investigator A on a $3.5 million NHMRC Health Services Research Programme Grant focusing on modelling health care systems. He is also Chief Investigator on a $97,000 DHS grant to establish an evaluation framework to assess health promotion. This is alongside other research interests, administrative responsibilities, and teaching commitments. Bruce supervises several PhD students. He also runs the official International Health Economics Association (iHEA) e-mail discussion list, is on the iHEA International Scientific Committee, is an active member of health economics organisations worldwide, an invited speaker at many international conferences and to many Government bodies, is a referee for 35 international journals, and has over 100 publications.
