In my research, I strive to produce innovative, high quality research and to develop my reputation as an expert on issues relating to the effects of family dynamics on health and wellbeing. I draw on a life course approach and stress process for theoretical direction and typically employ advanced longitudinal techniques (growth curve models, competing risks analysis) on large secondary datasets to conduct my research. My current research interests fall broadly under the three following areas.
1. The consequences of the loss of intimate relationships
2. Socioeconomic status and child health and development
