研究领域
Chronic liver disease
This includes:
a. Non invasive methods (in particular biomarkers) in predicting fibrosis/clinical outcomes. She has conducted research in this field for the past decade resulting in many peer reviewed publications. This includes the early identification of people at risk of serious liver disease, and management of people with serious liver disease/cirrhosis. In addition current interests include the role of non invasive tests in monitoring the progression of liver disease.
b. Exploration of the epidemiology of Hepatitis C. Current research includes UK National surveys of burden and management of Hepatitis C in UK 2001 and 2011.
c. Chronic liver disease and diabetes. This includes research on the clinical outcomes related to liver disease in people with diabetes.
d. Epidemiology of abnormal liver function tests and cirrhosis using primary care datasets, and linked primary and secondary care databases.
Health Inequalities & disadvantaged groups
OFFENDER HEALTH
Research interests are focused on the health and well being of those people involved at all stages of the criminal justice system. Current research interests are the health and well being of those people with Court Orders who are under the supervision of Probation Service. Particularly interested in the interface between NHS and probation, and evaluation of effectiveness of interventions in this group.
a. Offender health needs and access to healthcare services. A mixed method study to determine the knowledge perceptions and attitudes of Probation and NHS Commissioning staff towards health of those people supervised by Probation Service, and to explore the interface between Probation and Health Services and identify models of good practice. It incorporates a national survey (England and Wales) of probation staff, and offender health commissioning leads.
b. Improving the Health of People with Court Orders Supervised by Probation Services. This study is a mixed methods study recruiting a prospective cohort of new probationers in Hampshire Probation Trust. Aims are to determine prevalence of health status, health literacy, changes in health assessed over a year, access to and use of health related interventions, and exploration of probationers’ perceptions of their health. It will provide information on aspects of feasibility of conducting robust studies in this setting that could inform a larger study.
c. Southampton Offender Health Research Group (OHRG). This is a newly formed cross sectoral/cross faculty group which is concerned with developing collaborations and research in the health of those in the criminal justice system. This group will work together to seek funding for, and conduct and support research in offender Health.
CHRONIC DISEASE IN ETHNIC MINORITIES
a. Prevalence of and Risk factors for cardiovascular disease in a Nepali community
A study to measure the prevalence and risk factors for of cardiovascular disease in the adult Nepali population in Rushmoor compared to a similar non Nepali population using evidence synthesis and primary research approaches. Quantification of these issues will increase health professional awareness as well as allow appropriate services for this population to be designed.
b. Associations of abnormal liver function and ethnicity A study to explore the associations between ethnicity and abnormal liver function tests in a large English population based cohort study with 63% being Indian Asian.
HEALTH LITERACY
Health literacy is the cognitive and social skills determining the motivation and ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. In the UK there has been increasing emphasis on the importance of participation of patients in their own health and health care. A low population level of health literacy has been identified as one of the important barriers to achieving this goal. This is particularly relevant in the context of the management of chronic disease
a. Health literacy and chronic disease
Plan to conduct a study to investigate the prevalence and associations of limited health literacy in a population of people with chronic heart disease in the UK and to determine the effects of low health literacy on self management of this disease.
