Journal Article
Xu, Q., Qu, B., Zhao, P., Clement, S., Shi, Y., Li, L., Jordan, K. P., & Chen, Y. (2025). Temporal species stability underpins the link between biodiversity and human health. Environmental Research, 278(1 August 2025), Article 121728. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envres.2025.121728

Biodiversity is known to impact human health, but the complex relationships between species diversity and health outcomes is poorly understood. Measuring the temporal dissimilarity in species composition can be leveraged to understand the stability o...

An application of matching algorithms to generalize small-area estimates of chronic pain prevalence to neighbourhoods across England (2025)
Journal Article
Quinn, L., Yu, D., Lynch, M., P Jordan, K., Wilkie, R., & Peat, G. (2025). An application of matching algorithms to generalize small-area estimates of chronic pain prevalence to neighbourhoods across England. Journal of Public Health, 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1093/pubmed/fdaf002

Background
Local decision-makers lack granular data on the prevalence of chronic pain in their populations. We applied matching methods to generalize estimates from one local survey in England to other neighborhoods across the country with a similar...
