I am a epidemiologist with a research focus on road and child injury. This includes expertise in both clinical and observational research related to injury
Through the improved understanding of the determinants of road injury, the identification of effective and efficient preventive strategies and how best to translate the research findings, this Fellowship will facilitate reductions in the burden of road injury in Australia.
Preventing Sports Injuries Through Better Targetting Of Effective Interventions And Monitoring Of Safety Practices And Outcomes
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$756,962.00
Summary
Injuries such as concussion and muscle/joint sprains/strains are a recognised sports medicine issue globally. They are a major barrier towards sustained physical activity participation and a public health concern. Much information about their causes and prevention is yet to be fully disseminated to the community and adopted as standard safety practice. This fellowship will provide a strong evidence-base for sports injury prevention and monitoring, as well as sports safety promotion strategies.
An Individual-level Study Of Suicide Method Substitution Over Time
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$218,122.00
Summary
This study will explore patterns of suicide methods _ e.g., whether people who attempt suicide by hanging make subsequent attempts in the following month, and, if so, whether they use the same or different methods. It will track anonymised patients who have been hospitalised for a suicide attempt in 3 Australian states to determine the extent, method and outcome of any subsequent attempts. The study will inform questions about ïbest betsÍ in terms of restricting access to means of suicide.
Paediatric Validating Injury Burden Estimates Study (VIBES-Junior)
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$484,562.00
Summary
Injury is a leading cause of death and disability in children and adolescents, and can have lifelong effects for survivors. This study will quantify how well children recover from injury, and how long this takes, to establish better measures of the population impact of injury sustained in childhood and adolescence. The findings will be used to inform future health and social policy concerning primary prevention of injury in childhood and adolescence and the provision of services after injury.
Reducing The Burden Of Disease Due To Hazardous Alcohol Consumption
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$652,765.00
Summary
I am a behavioural scientist interested in the causes and prevention of hazardous alcohol consumption. I propose a program of research examining methods in behavioural science, risk factors for hazardous drinking, the development and evaluation of interventions to reduce hazardous drinking, and the evaluation of policies affecting the supply and promotion of alcohol. I lead a research team with strong collaborations with leading scientists in Australia and other countries.
HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis In Men Who Have Sex With Men: Investigating Impacts On HIV Incidence And Novel Methods Of Engagement
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$318,768.00
Summary
HIV infections are increasing in gay men and other men who have sex with men (MSM) in Australia and Indonesia. A promising new HIV prevention strategy is HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), which involves HIV-negative individuals taking one pill containing HIV treatments per day to prevent infection. PrEP is highly effective when taken correctly. Access to PrEP is currently very limited. Studies to investigate the best ways to implement PrEP services are required in Australia and Indonesia.
Dietary Patterns, Cognitive Performance And Cardiovascular Risk Factors In Australia, The United States And Luxembourg: An International Comparison And Dietary Intervention Trial
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$347,227.00
Summary
Ageing and the growing obesity epidemic are two contributing factors to cognitive decline. This research will identify dietary patterns that are associated with better cognitive function using data from individuals in Australia, the United States and Europe, and be used to guide dietary strategies to prevent or slow cognitive decline in at-risk individuals. Delaying or preventing the onset of dementia will save the Australian health care system billions of dollars.
Quantifying The Burden, Understanding The Predictors, And Improving The Outcomes Of Non-fatal Injury
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$459,270.00
Summary
This Career Development Fellowship will use the analysis of existing (and continuing data collection), and key health data linkages to improve understanding of the outcomes of injury survivors and factors contributing to outcomes. The outcomes of this research program will be improved injury burden estimates, and better health outcomes for trauma survivors through informing evidence-based clinical guidelines and trauma care delivery.
