Pascale MANUELLO

Pascale MANUELLO is an Associate Researcher at the Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Solidarity, Societies, Territories (LISST) affiliated with University of Toulouse - Jean Jaurès. Her work focuses on sociological analysis of healthcare systems, particularly examining care pathways for vulnerable populations including adolescents in mental health crisis, cancer patients, and individuals with psychiatric needs. She collaborates extensively with French health agencies and regional health authorities on public health initiatives.

Her research interests span medical sociology with particular emphasis on sociology of health, social inequalities in health, chronic diseases and prevention programs, local care systems in hospitalization pathways, and public health action and policies. She investigates mental health systems, addiction services, and cancerology from a sociological perspective, examining how institutional structures affect patient experiences and health outcomes.

Her publication record shows consistent focus on healthcare system innovations, particularly reactive crisis systems in child and adolescent psychiatry, therapeutic education programs, and interventions addressing socio-territorial health inequalities. Her work often employs mixed-method approaches combining sociological analysis with public health evaluation frameworks to assess healthcare interventions and policies.

Dr. MANUELLO has secured research funding from major French health organizations including ARS (Regional Health Agency), IRESP (Institute for Research and Documentation in Health Economics), and Ligue contre le Cancer. Her current projects include territorial diagnosis of psychoactive substance consumption, improving access to oncological support care, and analyzing the impact of the COVID-19 health crisis on home hospitalization for cancer patients.

She is affiliated with the LISST research laboratory, an interdisciplinary unit focusing on solidarity, societies, and territories, where she contributes to research examining the social dimensions of healthcare systems and public health policies in the Occitanie region of France.
