Profile:

I recently joined Monash after completing a PhD at the University of Queensland in 2003. I have long had an interest in high risk youth with an early focus on drug & alcohol use and delinquency. Recently my research focus has shifted to self-injury as it relates to suicide prevention. Specifically I am interested in the nature and extent of self-injury exhibited by young people and in the attitudes and knowledge regarding self-injury held by professionals who encounter young people who self-injure.

I also have interests in questionnaire development and validation, research design & analysis, and advanced statistical techniques.

Research Interests:

  1. A longitudinal investigation of the relationships between self-injury, suicidal ideation and psychological distress

  2. Help-seeking behaviour among those who self-injure

  3. The influence of the media on attitudes towards self-injury

  4. Knowledge and attitudes held towards self-injury
