Research interests and activities
Andrea Teng is a Public Health Physician and epidemiologist in the Department of Public Health, Wellington. Andrea's research focus is on the prevention of non-communicable disease and addressing inequity. This includes H. pylori screen-and-treat research for preventing stomach cancer, and evaluation of fiscal policies for rebalancing the food environment. She has led several studies using linked administrative data, including from the Statistics New Zealand Integrated Data Infrastructure.
Andrea is pricipal investigator on these projects:
- Taxes for a healthier diet? Impact of Tonga food excise taxes and tax subsidies introduced for non-communicable disease prevention, Marsden Project (2024 to 2027)
Visit Taxes for a healthier diet in Tonga - H. pylori screen-and-treat to prevent stomach cancer: getting the treatment right, Cancer Society Project (2025 to 2027)
Visit H.Pylori treatment effectiveness - Helicobacter pylori prevalence in Aotearoa New Zealand, sub project in SYMBIOTIC HRC programme
And these completed projects:
- Integrated data to address inequitable health outcomes, Healthier Lives National Science Challenge (2020 to 2024)
- Should ethnicity, deprivation and morbidity be used to target primary health care funding? University of Otago Research Grant (2024)
- Impact of excise taxes in Tonga on the healthiness of food imports, University of Otago Research Grant (2023)
