معرفی
Dr Mike Trott is a Research Fellow at the PAH-Southside Clinical Unit, The University of Queensland, and is embedded within the Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research (QCMHR) at the Park Centre for Mental Health, Wacol, Queensland. He works across the Physical and Mental Health Research Stream, producing high-impact systematic reviews, meta-analyses and trial protocols that bridge psychiatry, public health and implementation science.
Education & Academic Formation
While the provided text does not enumerate his prior degrees, his appointment as “Dr” and his prolific outputs in systematic-review methodology imply doctoral-level training in epidemiology or public health.
Research Interests
His work revolves around the bidirectional relationships between physical activity, lifestyle behaviours and mental illness. Key thematic pillars include:
- Metabolic consequences of severe mental disorders (schizophrenia, clozapine-related weight gain, metabolic syndrome).
- Exercise addiction and disordered eating across cultures and age groups.
- Child maltreatment as a life-course determinant of adult mental and physical morbidity.
- Implementation science for digital and lifestyle interventions in psychiatry.
- Urban environment and cognitive ageing.
Publication Landscape (2024-2025)
Across the 15 most recent outputs, a clear methodological emphasis on systematic reviews and meta-analyses is evident, covering interventions (semaglutide, CBT-T, lisdexamfetamine), risk factors (child maltreatment, unclean cooking fuel, urban exposures) and comorbidity patterns (metabolic syndrome, suicide methods, sensory impairment). The work spans psychiatry, addiction medicine, environmental health and urology, reflecting a broad public-health lens.
Scientific Awards & Recognition
No specific prizes or fellowships are mentioned in the supplied text.
Advising & Grant Activity
While no named students or grant numbers are provided, his authorship of trial protocols (STEPS, COaST, Cancloz, CBT-T) indicates active involvement in multi-centre grant consortia and supervision of early-career researchers.
Laboratory & Team Affiliations
He is affiliated with the Physical and Mental Health Research Stream at QCMHR, co-located within the Park Centre for Mental Health, a specialised treatment, research and education facility. This environment provides access to clinical cohorts, accelerometry/GPS/GIS laboratories and collaborative networks across UQ’s medical, public health and implementation-science institutes.
