His current research area focuses on the epidemiological and economic burden of four common cancers in Antigua and Barbuda. This work takes account of incidence, trends, patterns and survival analysis of female breast, cervical, colorectal and prostate cancers. It also provides current evidence on
the economic burden of these diseases by way of a cost-of-illness analysis from the prevalence-based provider perspective. This work encompasses the period 2017-2021 and utilizes data abstracted from four key study sites in Antigua and Barbuda. Other research interests include work on ageing, diabetes epidemiology and infectious disease epidemiology, and mentoring in the Caribbean Regional Field Epidemiology Training Program (Levels 1/2).
