After completing my PhD in 2002 I worked as a Research Fellow at University College London on a cluster-randomised trial of peer led sex education in schools. I joined the Unit in November 2006.
Affiliation
Teaching
I am involved in teaching on the MSc course in Clinical Trials and on the Distance Learning Clinical Trials MSc. In addition I teach on the school-run advanced Course in Epidemiologic Analysis.
Research
My main research interests are interrater agreement and reliability, the analysis of multinomial panel data and the analysis of complex interventions. Recent projects include the development of a measure for the assessment of observer agreement, collaboration on the development of new tools for the assessment of myositis and lupus, and approaches to the integration of process with outcome data in social interventions. I am currently working on RCTs of tight glyceamic control of children in intensive care and of the effect of n-3 LCPs on cognitive performance in older people in the UK.
