| Biography | I am a Research Fellow in Health Data Science at Edinburgh Napier University and the Scottish Centre for Administrative Data Science. My research interests are in using large datasets collected routinely by public bodies for studies to benefit public health. I am interested in areas of mental health, childhood adversity, end of life care, suicide prevention, alcohol & drug use. I am also interested in using population data research to inform policy, and in educating the public about how their data are used by public agencies and researchers. |
