About Elise
Dr. Elise Mansfield is a Research Fellow in the School of Medicine and Public Health within the Faculty of Health and Medicine at the University of Newcastle, Australia. She earned her Doctor of Philosophy and Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) from the University of Newcastle. Her primary research allocation is in patient safety, with expertise encompassing dementia care, unmet needs experienced by carers and people living with dementia, advance care planning, colorectal cancer screening, elder abuse screening and response, and interprofessional collaboration in health care. Affiliated with the Health Behaviour Research Collaborative and the Priority Research Centre for Health Behaviour, Mansfield has co-supervised doctoral theses, including those examining strategies to enhance adherence to colorectal cancer screening and advance planning for healthcare and research participation, both completed in 2019.
Mansfield's publication record includes over 60 journal articles and 16 conference papers spanning cognitive neuroscience to applied health behaviour research. Notable contributions feature early work on cognitive control, such as 'Theta frontoparietal connectivity associated with proactive and reactive cognitive control processes' published in NeuroImage in 2015 and 'Adjustments of response threshold during task switching: a model-based functional magnetic resonance imaging study' in the Journal of Neuroscience in 2011. More recent outputs address dementia and chronic disease, including 'Primary care physicians’ perceived barriers to optimal dementia care: a systematic review' in The Gerontologist in 2019, 'Psychometric evaluation of the unmet needs instrument for carers of people with dementia (UNI-C)' in the Journal of Patient-Reported Outcomes in 2025, and 'Internet Access and Use Among Dementia Carers and the People They Support in Australia: Cross-Sectional Survey' in JMIR Formative Research in 2025. She has secured grants totaling $1,077,463, leading the $978,291 'Living Well after Hospital' randomised controlled trial funded by the Department of Health and Aged Care from 2025 to 2028, aimed at improving transitional care for older adults post-hospitalisation. Additional funding supports projects on elder abuse intervention and colorectal cancer screening uptake.
