Profile
Using statistics to understand what impacts our health - Meet Dr Andrew Bell

Before moving to Sheffield, Dr. Bell was a lecturer at the University of Bristol, where he also completed his undergraduate degree (in Geography) and PhD (in Advanced Quantitative Methods). His research spans a diverse range of subject areas: his work includes a focus on health inequalities, for example looking at mental health trajectories from a life-course perspective; but he has also contributed to other disciplines including geography, political science, and economics. His work is united by a methodological interest in the development and application of multilevel models, including age-period-cohort analysis and fixed and random effects models. He is currently working on developing and applying multilevel models for uncovering intersectional inequalities, particularly in health outcomes.
