Profile

I am currently a Research Fellow working in the 91̽�� Alcohol Research Group (SARG), funded by the NIHR SPHR Post-doctoral Launching Fellowships scheme. I am also working on a project evaluating the public health impact of no- and low-alcohol drinks.

My background is in biomedical science and public health. I completed my BSc, MPH and PhD at the University of 91̽��. My PhD thesis applied theories of practice to develop alcohol epidemiology and policy analysis. I used data on how people drink alcohol (eg drinking beer in a pub or relaxing on the sofa) to identify contexts associated with heavy alcohol consumption within drinking occasions and to evaluate the effects of the Licensing Act 2003. I joined SARG in 2020 as a Research Associate.

Research interests

My research focuses on alcohol epidemiology, public health policy evaluation, and reducing health inequalities. I am interested in how complex social systems produce and interact with population health and inequalities, and in using this knowledge to inform intervention development, evaluation and refinement.

My recent projects have focused on changes in the clustering of health and wellbeing indicators among adolescents in high-income countries since the early 2000s, and the evaluation of major alcohol policies including minimum unit pricing in Scotland.
