Rate My Professor Sarah Hill

Hill's research specializations encompass health inequalities, cancer epidemiology, ethnic disparities in healthcare, tobacco control, and commercial determinants of health. During her Otago tenure, she authored key publications such as "Ethnicity and Management of Colon Cancer in New Zealand: Do Indigenous Patients Get a Worse Deal?" (Cancer, 2010), "Survival disparities in Indigenous and non-Indigenous New Zealanders with colon cancer: the role of patient comorbidity, treatment and health service factors" (Social Science & Medicine, 2010), "Indigenous inequalities in cancer: what role for health care?" (ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2013), and "The effect of comorbidity on the use of adjuvant chemotherapy and survival from colon cancer: a retrospective cohort study" (BMC Cancer, 2009). Additional works include audits of the New Zealand Cancer Registry (2008) and studies on secondhand smoke mortality (2007). Her research has illuminated systemic factors contributing to poorer cancer outcomes for Indigenous populations, influencing public health policy and practice on equitable care. With over 2,200 citations, Hill's scholarship demonstrates substantial impact in addressing socioeconomic and ethnic health gradients.
