Anne-Marie Schott is a public health doctor and rheumatologist, with a PhD in public health and an HDR. His research initially focused on the epidemiology of osteoporosis and falls in elderly people with the implementation and monitoring of the EPIDOS cohort. Over the past 15 years, his research has focused on observational and interventional studies on the real effectiveness of health services in chronic conditions, particularly bone and rheumatic diseases, cancer and stroke.
His current work is oriented towards approaches aimed at better taking into account the bio-psycho-social factors involved in patients' behaviors regarding their health, particularly their level of health literacy, as well as the existing brakes and levers among health professionals, in order to improve the communication of appropriate information to optimize the ability of patients to act (empowerment) to improve their health and interact with health professionals.
These programmes combine observational studies, often with mixed methods combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, and interventional field studies with experimental or quasi-experimental designs.
Keywords: ability to act, health literacy, behaviour change techniques.
