Sophie Cole
MSc
Research Officer
I joined the Health Economics Research Centre in November 2023 to work on health policy focused projects with the Health Foundation Research and Economic Analysis for the Long-term (REAL) Demand Centre. My primary focus will be on measuring health expenditure by disease area, both in the UK and internationally, using individual-level data. My research interests include mental health, health inequalities, and analysis using routinely collected data.
Prior to my current position, I completed a National Institute of Health and Care Research pre-doctoral fellowship at the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences (NDORMS), University of Oxford. This involved investigating the health dimensions of individuals with rare chronic diseases, such as X-linked hypophosphaetemia and Osteogenesis imperfecta, with a particular focus on mental health.
I began working at NDORMS in September 2019, after completing an MSc in Health Economics at the University of York. During that time, I completed a thesis on the effects of maternal and paternal mental health during pregnancy on child outcomes.
