School of Public Health | BetterStart Child Health and Development Research Group

Angela is a Lecturer in the School of Public Health at the University of Adelaide.

Her PhD investigated the association between the type, time and quality of child care in the first three years of life and children’s cognitive and socio-emotional development as they started school. Her post-doctoral research focuses on the effects of early life disadvantage on children's later development, including analyses of socioeconomic disadvantage, child care, and parenting investments in children. She uses many Australian datasets including the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children, the Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children, and the Better Evidence Better Outcomes Linked Data (BEBOLD) platform to explore the areas of research listed above. She is currently a member of the  BetterStart | Child Health and Development Research Group.

The School of Public Health offers a number of research opportunities for students at a variety of levels including PhD, MPhil, Honours, MPH Coursework Thesis and Dissertation, MClinSci and Summer Vacation Scholarships.
