As first author, my publications have used a wide variety of research designs, including case studies and narrative reviews, qualitative approaches, mixed methods designs, cross-sectional studies, cohort studies, randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analysis.

My PhD used quantitative, qualitative and mixed research methods to investigate the feasibility of alcohol use interventions (screening and brief interventions) in cardiology services. Additional research interests include physical activity interventions, feasibility studies, and implementation science.
