麻豆传媒

Introduction

I trained as a speech and language therapist, working in 麻豆传媒 upon Tyne, London and Mumbai before embarking on a post-doctoral research career in 1990. Until 2000, I worked on environmental epidemiology studies investigating the health of communities living near industry. Since 2000, I have researched on the topics of aging, social & health inequalities, welfare and social prescribing. My current and long-term interests are in the health and well-being of older people, the impact of changes to the welfare state, tackling health and social inequalities, evaluating the impact of social prescribing and applying research to policy and practice.

Research Interests

My main research interests concern the health and well-being of older people, tackling poverty and social exclusion and the impact of changes to the welfare system on health and wellbeing. I have carried out extensive research into the impact of welfare rights advice on people over state retirement age and ethnic minority elders, funded by the Department of Health and Age Concern.

I am interested in methodological issues, particularly the integration of quantitative and qualitative methods, straddling the boundaries between epidemiology and sociology, particularly the limitations of quantitative and qualitative methods alone within public health research, as well as mixed methods research. I have considerable experience in involving participants and the wider public in research and have disseminated research findings to a wide range of academic and non-academic audiences and have published on this topic. As a result, a number of studies in which I have been engaged have influenced health and social policy.
