Martina is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS) with a background in psychology and mental health research. She is currently engaged in two key projects.
The first involves the harmonisation of physical health variables across the British cohort studies, with a particular focus on asthma and diabetes, and is being extended to incorporate linked administrative data. Within this work, Martina also investigates the relationship between childhood asthma and mental health.
The second project centres on missing data, specifically identifying predictors of non-response across the British cohort studies and developing user guides to support researchers, with a particular focus on the Millennium Cohort Study.
Martina is also a UCL Wellbeing Champion and is currently undertaking a traineeship in integrative psychotherapy at the Metanoia Institute.
