Ricerca

Nicola's research focuses on community capacity and engagement in health promotion and prevention, particularly in rural areas. He is especially interested in the social resources and mechanisms that empower local communities to take responsibility for their own care, enabling sustainable healthcare delivery despite increasing demands and strained resources. Nicola is also passionate about patient, user, and citizen-reported measures, including preferences, experiences, satisfaction, and outcomes, to enhance the quality and people-centeredness of public services.
