I am a social scientist with twenty years of experience designing, implementing, and analyzing Britain's largest studies of health and wellbeing, including the Health Survey for England and the British Gambling Prevalence Survey. I specialize in gambling research and policy practice, currently serving as co-director of Gambling Research Glasgow and leading the Lancet Public Health Commission on Gambling. My research focuses on understanding the impact of gambling on people's lives and devising solutions to related issues. My book, 'Games on the Frontiers?', explores the intersection of gaming and gambling. My work is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, Wellcome Trust, and the National Institute for Health Research. I also have a keen interest in exploring gambling and gaming behaviors, particularly how changing technological infrastructures create new risks and opportunities. My research involves understanding how policy is shaped and the influence of lived experience in decision-making, highlighting significant considerations in addressing policy problems related to gambling.
