Dr Kylie Dingwall leads the Mental Health program of research in Alice Springs. She has lived and worked in Alice Springs for over 13 years in various roles, including child protection and Indigenous health research.

Kylie’s research focus includes identifying causes and risk factors for mental health and substance misuse problems, and then developing and trialling tools and interventions to help communities and individuals to stay strong along with discovering ways to overcome language and literacy barriers. She has an interest in developing e-mental health and mental health literacy tools and currently leads projects investigating e-mental health implementation and effectiveness trials in an Indigenous setting. This work builds on the previous AIMhi body of research and includes the translation, testing and implementation of the AIMhi Stay Strong App.
