- Profile
-
I joined ScHARR (HEDS) and the Sheffield Addictions Research Group (SARG) as a Research Associate in March 2020.
Currently I work on the development of the Sheffield Tobacco and Alcohol Policy Model (STAPM), an economic and epidemiological model of alcohol and tobacco consumption and health dynamics used to appraise public health policy. My other main area of research is in the development of economic models to appraise the cost-effectiveness of employment support interventions for populations with work-limiting health conditions, and incorporating work-related outcomes into economic evaluations of health interventions.
Recent projects include:
- Development and use of STAPM to appraise recent reforms to UK alcohol tax policy, and minimum unit pricing for alcohol in Scotland and Wales.
- Estimating the impacts of alcohol and tobacco consumption on the wider economy.
- Estimating causal econometric models of the relationship between health and work outcomes.
- Modelling the health and employment impacts of workplace interventions to support individuals with health conditions.
