Research Interests
Broadly speaking, her main research interest is the factors which determine why some individuals who experience childhood adversity develop mental illnesses whereas others do not. Currently, she is working on a meta-analysis of papers that use the risk residuals approach to study resilience. She is also interested in mental health service provision for children and adolescents and how such services can be improved.
