Alys Havard

I am an epidemiologist specialising in using linked health data to better understand how medicines are used at a population-level, and their safety and effectiveness in real world settings. Much of my research is focused on the effects of medicine exposures during pregnancy. My research also has a strong focus on medicines used in the treatment of substance use. I am currently leading a multi-national study of the effectiveness and safety of smoking cessation pharmacotherapies during pregnancy.
