Research
Dr Emma Davies' research programme involves developing and evaluating theory based behaviour change interventions with a significant focus on alcohol and mental health. Emma's current strand of reseach focuses on the co-production of interventions for mid-life women who would like to drink less alcohol. Emma also leads the alcohol theme for the Global Drug Survey and has conducted research on the social and psychological factors involved in alcohol use, including intoxication, pleasures, regrets and alcohol's effects on wellbeing. Emma was a co-editor of the Palgrave Handbook of Psychological Perspectives on Alcohol Consumption.
