Anne's research is focused on the analysis of preferences and decision- making, with particular applications to health and safety issues. Her research covers utility measurement, decision under uncertainty, intertemporal choice, and draws upon experimental economics techniques to try to isolate the factors that affect decision-making. She has published in the Journal of Risk and Uncertainty, as well as more specialised journals like Health Economics and Social Science and Medicine. She also mentors health economists to use modelling techniques to aid decision-making at the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). In addition, she is involved in research to apply modelling techniques to improve the design of clinical trials and to develop guidelines for researchers on the use of modelling techniques to inform cost effective studies. Anne is also senior health economics advisor for the Pragmatic Clinical Trials Unit (PCTU) which can be found on the web at http://www.ihse.qmul.ac.uk/chspctu/ .
