Research Overview

Luise aims to use and support the use of appropriate statistical methods to complex survey data and large administrative health dataset to facilitate high quality and innovative health services and medical research and subsequent research translation. She is currently working on linked and longitudinal data analysis projects in the areas of emergency department frequent attenders, health service utilisation among resident sub-groups such as those living with dementia, mental health, self-harm/suicidality, and substance use. She is currently co-supervising higher degree research students in the areas of dementia outcomes, and side effects of oral anticoagulants.
