Jun Guo

Dr Jun Guo is a postdoctoral fellow for the Policy and Equity Group at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute. His research experience and interest focus on health literacy and health inequities in children and adolescents. This includes how to measure and improve health literacy in the young generation, using longitudinal data-sets (e.g. Longitudinal Study of Australian Children; Australian Temperament Project) to examine inequities in Australian children's health and development, identifying possible intervention levers to reduce child health inequities.
