Christina is the Data Manager on the Deliberate Self-harm Registry within the NSRF. She has completed a BSc in Public Health and Health Promotion in UCC in 2009 and a Master of Public Health in UCC in 2010 where she specialised in epidemiology and biostatistics. Currently she is studying a PhD qualification in epidemiology in UCC under a Health Research Board PhD Scholarship, investigating the relationship between patterns of physical behaviour and cardiometabolic markers in middle aged-adults. Research interests include the correlation of physical behaviours with cardiometabolic and mental health.
