Catherine Runge

Dr. Catherine Runge serves as an Adjunct Fellow at the School of Public Health, The University of Queensland. Her research focuses on military and veterans' health, public health, and mental health, with specific expertise in deployment experiences, health stigma, and family dynamics within military contexts.

Her primary research domains include:

• Military Health
• Public Health Interventions
• Mental Health and Stigma
• Deployment Health
• Family Well-being in Military Settings
• Qualitative Health Research Methods

She has conducted extensive studies on Australian Defence Force personnel, examining deployment health, post-deployment outcomes, and family well-being through qualitative analysis of survey data.

Analysis of her publication record (2014-2024) reveals consistent focus on military health with increasing attention to stigma and mental health. Her work demonstrates methodological strength in qualitative analysis of open-ended survey responses, addressing themes like deployment experiences, family dynamics, equipment-related injuries, and health interventions. Recent publications emphasize lung cancer/COPD stigma reduction while earlier work covered dementia care implementation and rural medical practice.
