Research interests
My current priority is an ALSPAC (Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children) trans-generational study. This is endeavouring to establish some of the effects of childhood stressors in grandparents and great grandparents on their descendants; structured interviews have been conducted on one hundred Study participants with detailed family histories obtained.
I continue to promote the importance and value of the ALSPAC Administrative Archive including the ALSPAC Ethics Archive, curated by the University of Bristol Special Collections.
