My PhD involves using quantitative, qualitative and mixed research methods to investigate the feasibility of alcohol use interventions (screening and brief interventions) in cardiology services. We are investigating the prevalence of hazardous drinking among patients with cardiovascular diseases, patient perspectives, and clinician views on the feasibility of implementing interventions.
