Through the new partnership, researchers from  University of Haifa and La Trobe University will collaborate on three projects: the relationship between artificial intelligence, social media and alcohol consumption; cultural dynamics of aging families and the care of family members with developmental disabilities; and employment related social barriers for people with autism. The collaborations will be funded by the Government of Victoria County, Australia as part of the Study Melbourne Research Partnerships project. The studies will be led by Prof. Eynat Gal and Prof. Naomi Schreuer (Department of Occupational Therapy), Dr. Carmit-Noa Shpigelman (Department of Community Mental Health) and Prof. Sharon Sznitman (School of Public Health).
