As a consultant biostatistician, I am involved with many projects, from providing minor assistance to being a co-investigator.
These projects come from nearly all departments of the CSMHS and range from laboratory science to clinical studies and epidemiology. Some of the variety of content areas is seen in my publication list.
Assistance is also provided for grant applications, ethics committee applications, referee and reviewer comments.
I am also involved as the principal statistician and a principal investigator of the Mental Health Epidemiology Study, which consists of a national survey in 2004 of 12,000 people aged 16 years and older (The New Zealand Mental Health Survey, Te Rau Hinengaro).
