CURRENT RESEARCH INTERESTS
As a researcher, I focus on factors related to addiction, mental health and well-being. Specifically, I am interested in the social and cognitive antecedents and consequences of gambling addiction. Specific areas of expertise within research include research review, methodological design, statistical analysis and systematic reviews. As a knowledge translation specialist, I also have a keen interest in the movement of knowledge into practice, policy and action. Specifically, I aim to create and maintain networks and communities of practice where knowledge can be shared and maintained.
