My current research interests are in the the areas of gambling studies and in particular the effects of treatment on problem gamblers. I am also interested in the better understanding of how gamblers are able to be identified early in their journey. In addition I am interested in wider public health clinical practice from both the patient and student perspective. In both cases I am interested in how co-production can lead to better outcomes for patients and a higher student experience. My approach to research is largely routine clinical outcomes evaluation, questionnaire design and validation and cohort studies. I am currently working on two systematic reviews; one in gambling and the other in autism as well as ongoing work with two public health services in the UK and Australia.
