Dr Daniela Schlüter

Research Overview

My research focus is on utilising methods for longitudinal data analysis and causal inference to understand pathways to poor child health and health inequalities. Some specific areas I have a particular interest in are:

- Improving outcomes and reducing inequalities for people with cystic fibrosis
- Improving outcomes for babies in neonatal care units and reducing inequalities in neonatal and infant mortality
- Understanding causes and consequences of children being taken into care

I work with the UK, US and Danish cystic fibrosis registries, population linked electronic health care records, birth cohort data and local administrative data.

Projects I am currently involved in ( in addition to grants listed below):
I am principle investigator on a Hugh Greenwood funded project on "Addressing geographical inequalities in neonatal and infant mortality using linked routine data" which is a collaboration with Liverpool Women's Hospital and Alder Hey Children's Hospital.

I collaborate with colleagues in Sweden on a project entitled 'Drivers of inequalities among families with involvement in child welfare services' funded by the Swedish Research Council FORTE

I am co-investigator and work package co-lead on a project funded by Health and Care Research Wales, Research for Patient Benefit called 'CF PROSPER: Cystic Fibrosis Pregnancy Related Outcome data to Support PERsonal choices '.
