Dr. Jennifer Boyd is an Honorary Research Assistant at the University of Glasgow's School of Health & Wellbeing. Her research focuses on public health, particularly alcohol policy, health inequalities, and the application of complex systems models to understand societal challenges like the cost-of-living crisis. She collaborates with institutions such as NHS Lothian and has contributed to studies analyzing the impacts of minimum unit pricing in Scotland and socioeconomic disparities in alcohol-related harm.
Her work integrates epidemiological analysis with systems science methodologies, emphasizing agent-based modelling and behavioral economics. Key areas of interest include the alcohol harm paradox, health behavior clustering in children, and policy evaluation through economic modeling frameworks. Boyd's research has been published in high-impact journals like Drug and Alcohol Review, BMC Public Health, and SSM - Population Health.
Her recent studies (2023–2025) explore intersections of sex, age, and income in drinking practices, while earlier work (2020–2021) examined postnatal lifestyle barriers and pediatric health behavior patterns. Despite her extensive publications, no formal student advisees or listed awards are noted in the provided texts.
