My research has focused on aspects of chronic noncommunicable diseases and sexually transmitted infections relevant to the practice of Family Medicine in Barbados. I have employed a variety of research methods - both quantitative and qualitative methods. I have used clinic-based and population-based (simple random and multistage cluster) samples and I have established one of the very few cohorts in the English-speaking Caribbean. I am currently involved in a multi-site interventional study on diabetes prevention.
