Biography

My name is Aideen Maguire, and I am a Research Fellow working on the Grief Study.

I have just recently been awarded my PhD in Epidemiology (January 2013), which focused on Measuring Mental Health in Northern Ireland. My undergraduate degree was in Social Psychology, obtained from the University of Ulster, Coleraine, and I later went on to complete a Masters in Social Research methods at QUB.

The main focus of my PhD project was utilising population-wide antidepressant and anxiolytic medication prescribing data as a proxy indicator of population mental health.

Research interests

My current research interests include pharmcoepidemiology and public health, especially issues surrounding mental health and the pharmacological treatment of mental disorders. I am very excited to be working on the Grief Study and feel privileged to be working within the Institute of Child Care Research.
