Research
Jennie Connor is a public health physician and epidemiologist. She retired from the Chair in Preventive and Social Medicine in 2020.
For more than 20 years, Professor Connor has taught epidemiology and conducted public health research that has largely focused on injury prevention, sexual and reproductive health, and the health impacts of alcohol. She completed two assessments of the 'Alcohol-attributable burden of disease and injury in New Zealand' with international collaborators, including estimation of alcohol-attributable cancer. She is a medical spokesperson for Alcohol Action New Zealand, an incorporated society advocating for the adoption of evidence-based policy to reduce harm from alcohol.
Recent research collaborations include evaluation of NZ’s alcohol legislation, quantifying alcohol’s harm to others, impacts of driving cessation on older drivers and their families, epidemiology of chlamydia in NZ, and sexual and reproductive health in the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study.
Professor Connor is not available to supervise research students.Publications
