Background
My research interests lie within the field of public health policy, specifically in relation to risk-taking behaviour, reducing health inequalities and improving health outcomes for individuals and communities. I am an experienced mixed method researcher who has been involved in a broad range of quantitative and qualitative studies that have explored the health and lifestyle of the population. In addition, I have specific expertise in the development and evaluation of complex health interventions.
