OUR RESEARCH
Epidemiology asks the big questions about sleep health. We collaborate with researchers across the broad spectrum of sleep health work conducted at FHMRI Sleep Health, with industry, other Universities and Government Departments both nationally and internationally on large cohort studies.
We conduct innovative longitudinal and cohort research initiatives to promote prevention, and early detection and better management of sleep disorders to improve quality of life, wellbeing, and physical and mental health. This work is situated within specific clinical populations but also the wider community.
Current research projects include:
- Improving the management of obstructive sleep apnea and insomnia in primary health care setting. Learn more
- Understanding the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental and physical health in Australian men & designing interventions to improve outcomes.
- Increasing the value of evidence from nutritional epidemiology.
