Addressing inequalities in child health

Areas of interest: Health inequalities. Child health. Child Poverty. Social determinants of health. Policy evaluation. Natural experiments. Lifecourse epidemiology. Causal mediation analysis. Resource allocation. Recession/austerity and health. Research to inform policy. Cystic Fibrosis. Asthma. Cohort and longitudinal data analysis. Applied statistics.
