Tanya has co-organised, facilitated and lectured on the Basic Epidemiology study module, and also facilitated on several other study units: Statistics for EPH; the Design and Analysis of Epidemiological Studies; Critical Readings in Epidemiology; Environmental Epidemiology (DL); Social Epidemiology.

She has also been a personal tutor on the MSc Epidemiology and MSc Public Health. She currently supervises students undertaking the Distance Learning Public Health MSc project module.

Research

Tanya's research focuses on violence against women, its causes, consequences and means of prevention. Major studies she has worked on include the WHO Multi-country Study on Women's Health and Domestic Violence against Women; the IMAGE study, a cluster randomised trial measuring the impact of a microfinance and gender equity training intervention on intimate partner violence against women in rural South Africa; and the SASA! Study, a cluster randomised trial of a community mobilisation intervention to prevent violence against women and reduce HIV risk in Kampala, Uganda.

Much of Tanya's current research centres on the evaluation of complex social interventions to prevent intimate partner violence, and she is particularly interested in the use (and pitfalls) of cluster randomised trials in such evaluations. Her research also explores the pathways (both individual- and community-level) through which interventions impact on women's risk of partner violence.
