Bio
I have been in involved in public health for over 30 years, with the last 20 years focusing on behavioural issues associated with child obesity. I have an eclectic career background with clinical experience (ICU trained nurse) and tertiary qualifications in psychology, sociology and, public health (epidemiology, biostatistics surveillance, evaluation). My research interests are focused on working to develop appropriate interventions, strategies and policy to improve lifestyle behaviours associated with non-communicable disease risk among children at a population level.
My research involved leading a serial population health surveillance survey of NSW children’s weight and weight-related behaviours, the NSW Schools Physical Activity and Nutrition Survey, (SPANS). SPANS was funded by NSW Ministry of Health and its purpose is to provide the NSW Government with information needed to develop health promotion policies and programs to address modifiable lifestyle behaviours associated with overweight and obesity.
NSW was the only Australian state to have serial field surveillance of children age 5-16 years (1997, 2004, 2010 and 2015), and the findings have been used by a range of stakeholders in children’s health across Australia. Funding for SPANS ceased in 2017 when child obesity was removed from the NSW Premiers Priority List.
For over 10 years (2004-2018) I was Australia’s only dedicated child obesity epidemiologist and have strong research collaborations nationally and internationally. I have been a CI on studies which have received >$2 million in NSW Health and external peer-reviewed funding. I have 150 publications in peer review journals and have presented regularly at national and international conferences, including occasions as a keynote speaker.
