My research work has focussed on developing interventions that seek to reduce harms from drug injecting, examining the prevalence and incidence of blood borne viruses in communitites and in prisons, and qualitative work on harms from injecting novel psychoactive substances, as well as theorertical evaluations of harm reduction services.
