Dr Kirstie O'Hare

I am an adjunct research fellow at UNSW Sydney, and a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Edinburgh. My research interests include investigating outcomes for children and young people who attend mental health services or are in contact with child protection services. I am also interested in more broadly understanding risk factors and developmental pathways to mental illness, particularly for psychosis and self-harm. I use large-scale administrative record-linkage data and methods from life-course epidemiology to investigate these questions.
