I have a BSc in Pharmacology from University College Dublin (1998) and an MPhil in Epidemiology from the University of Cambridge (2000). For the past ten years I have worked in the area of Sexual and Reproductive Health, initially focusing on Maternal and child health and more recently on Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health. Between 2002 and 2004 I was an EPIET fellow, based at Institut de Vielle Sanitaire, Paris where I was involved in infectious disease surveillance and outbreak investigations.
I joined LSHTM in Nov 2004 as a PhD student and was based for two years (2007-08) in Mwanza, Tanzania coordinating the MEMA kwa Vijana Trial Further Survey (MkV1FS) at the Mwanza Intervention Trials Unit (MITU).
Affiliation
Teaching
I am currently teaching on the Statistics for Epidemiology and Population Health (2021) and Control of RTIs/STIs (3192) in-house modules and I am a tutor for the Epidemiology of communicable diseases (EP301) distance learning module.
Research
My research interests include the prevention and control of HIV and other STIs and the improvement of other aspects of sexual and reproductive health, in particular among young people in developing countries. I am also interested more generally in the design and evaluation of interventions.
Since 2004 I have been involved in the long-term impact evaluation, within a community randomised trial, of the MEMA kwa Vijana, adolescent sexual and reproductive health intervention in Mwanza, Tanzania. This long-term impact evaluation survey, the subject of my PhD, took place 9 years post intervention implementation and measured the intervention impact on selected knowledge, behavioural and biological outcomes. Following on from this research, I am currently exploring the influence of types of sexual partnerships, early sexual histories and more broader community factors on the sexual and reproductive health of young people in rural Tanzania.
