Research Interests: My research focuses on suicide and self-harm. I am interested in obtaining accurate information on the extent and nature of these problems over a long time period, studying their causes, and finding out what treatments and prevention measures are effective. We have taken a particular interest in self-harm and suicide in young people. Our research has benefitted from extensive national and international collaborations.
