Carmen Faustinelli, University of Lugano

I received my Master degree in 2004 at the University of Fribourg (CH), where I studied Clinical Psychology, General Psychology and Sociology.

Since 2006 I have been working as a Ph.D. student on two different research topics at the University of Lugano.
The first one, which is also the topic of my dissertation, is on panel data concerning the introduction of a smoking ban in Ticino and collected by the Institute since 2005 to 2007.
The second project deals with the evaluation of different prevention projects launched by Swiss Health Promotion in relation to obesity and mental health.
