His work is deeply rooted in public health research, particularly focusing on the long-term impacts of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on mental health, substance use, and societal trust.
His research interests center on adverse childhood experiences, mental health, alcohol and substance use, violence, and health inequalities. He conducts large-scale epidemiological studies, often using national cross-sectional survey data from the UK, especially Wales. His work bridges public health policy and behavioral science, aiming to inform interventions that reduce health disparities.
