Research Interests
Professor of Public Health Research at Cardiff University. He holds an honours degree in sociology and psychology and a PhD in experimental psychology. He has led several large projects mostly concerned with the causes and consequences of violence, alcohol, alcohol-related harm, and substance use. He uses a variety of methodologies, including “big data,” experimental techniques, computer simulation, econometrics, and occasionally qualitative methods. Through this work he aims to bring a multidisciplinary perspective that identifies pathways to harm and identify opportunities to reduce harm. Trustee of the national homeless charity The Wallich. Was publicly appointed by the Welsh Minister for Health as an advisor to the Welsh Government on matters relating to alcohol misuse and substance abuse. Chaired the advisory panel (APOSM) on minimum unit pricing and led the authorship of the report to the Welsh Government. Contributed to reports on tramadol dependency and substance misuse in the elderly. Contributed to the Welsh Government's Public Health White paper (2014).

Research Funding
The aim of my research is to translate basic-level, fundamental, science and apply it to the real world in order to improve community safety and the health of our communities. My work is multi-disciplinary, crossing psychology, neuroscience, economics, medicine, public health and other disciplines and typically involves practitioners and policy makers. All projects have a clear impact pathway, whether that is to inform policy and practice directly or to seed further work such as an implementation trial. Methods include "big data" data linkage projects, randomised controlled trials, computer modelling and simulation and various other approaches
Current
The Emergency Department Violence Intervention Programme Evaluation (EDVIPE) is funded by the National Institute for Health Research, Public Health Research Board (NIHR134055).
Implementation of Process Evaluation of ED based Violence Prevention Teams is funded by the Youth Endowment Foundation
