He completed a Masters of Medical Science at the Department of Psychiatry, The University of Adelaide before moving to Melbourne where he attained his PhD (epidemiology) from Monash University (www.monash.edu.au). This research was supported by a prestigious National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) PhD scholarship and comprised a collection of studies utilising mixed qualitative and quantitative methods to investigate the impact of psychological and social factors on management of asthma and health outcomes and focussed on the role of caregivers as the primary managers of asthma in young people.
