Rate My Professor Lisa Kruck

Kruck earned her PhD from Queensland University of Technology in 2015, with a thesis titled 'A values analysis of attitudes towards the use of law to prevent obesity: How might these values inform public health law.' This work analyzes how individual values shape attitudes toward legal measures in public health, particularly for obesity prevention, and their implications for public health law theory. Previously, as a research assistant at QUT's Australian Centre for Health Law Research, her research focused on the role of values in contemporary public health law and ethics and their application to policy decisions. Key publications include co-authoring the 'Audit tool for assessing child sexual abuse prevention content in school policy and curriculum' (Heliyon, 2019), an evidence-based instrument to evaluate prevention strategies in Australian primary schools, with adaptations for diverse and vulnerable children. She also contributed to the 'Scoping study for research into the prevalence of child abuse in Australia' (2016) and a 2019 submission to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety on topics including autonomy, elder abuse, and quality care. Dr Kruck has engaged in national forums, such as the Australian Medical Council's Programmatic Assessment Workshop (2017), and is listed on Griffith University's Vice-Chancellor's Awards for Excellence honour board.
