Associate Professor Andrew Hayen

I graduated from the University of Sydney with First Class Honours and the University Medal for Mathematical Statistics,a Master of Biostatistics and a PhD in mathematical statistics.

My research interests include:

• the statistical methods used in diagnostic tests and monitoring (or follow-up) and risk prediction in medicine. I am also interested in applications, including in cardiovascular disease, eye health, osteoporosis and kidney disease. I have a particular interest in blood pressure monitoring.  
• the application of statistical methods to randomised controlled trials, observational studies and meta-analyses. I am the study statistician for the Maintain Your Brain randomised controlled trial
• Population health, including the application of time series methods  (including assessing vaccination programs, and the effects of temperature extremes on health)
• Health financing and equity: I am a member of the Health Economics and Financing for Developing Countries group (http://sphcm.med.unsw.edu.au/shift) and am a Chief Investigator in the Health Financing in Timor Leste and Fiji (SHIFT project) 
• The use of record linkage in the evaluation of health programs and their outcomes.  I am a chief investigator on the Positive life pathways for vulnerable adolescents: The role of a life management program approach .
