Current Research
The majority of my work utilises my expertise in managing and analysing quantitative data, ranging from relatively small local survey datasets to extremely large datasets of routinely-collected primary and secondary care medical data. With colleagues I have developed the use of time series analysis methods for evaluating the effectiveness of public health policies using these data sources. Current projects include:
- evaluation the effectiveness of a microfinance intervention on child health in rural India
- evaluation the effectiveness of restricted visiting arrangements in neonatal units on the incidence of respiratory infection
- use of routinely-recorded primary and secondary care data to study medium- and longer-term health outcomes in children born prematurely
