About the speaker

Dr Craig Cumming is a Research Fellow at the School of Population and Global Health at the University of Western Australia. During his career, he has used a range of data sources, including survey data and linked administrative data, to investigate the health challenges that marginalised populations such as those who are incarcerated and/or experience face and how these problems can be identified as early as possible to inform targeted interventions aimed at improving the health of these groups. Mental health and substance use are key foci of Craig’s work.
