This work has been funded by grants from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). She is currently researching the use of contingency management delivered remotely by mobile telephones (mCM), to encourage medication adherence.
Other research interests include, evaluating heroin assised treatment for hard-to-treat individuals with opioid use disorder (RIOTT Trial), and evaluating the effectiveness of take-home naloxone administration by lay people in reversing opioid overdose (NalPORS Study).
