I am a mixed methods researcher based in the SCHARR Outcomes team.

- Research interests
-
My research interests fall into four main areas:
1. Measuring and valuing health and wellbeing. Including instrument development, qualitative research, psychometric data analysis and collecting and modelling preference data used to generate Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs).
2. Exploring the determinants of wellbeing, and use of wellbeing and subjective wellbeing as an outcome measure for public policy evaluation and priority setting.
3. Economic evaluation; specifically identifying and using utility values within health technology appraisal (HTA).
4. Understanding the social value of health gains and public preferences towards the distribution of health gains.
