Lucy Telfar Barnard

PhD, DELE(Bas), NAATI 3
Research Fellow, University of Otago Wellington

Lucy's research interests cover seasonal and cold-temperature-related morbidity and mortality; respiratory disease; tenancy law and the regulation of rental housing quality; New Zealand housing construction types, their distribution, classification and associated health outcomes; and novel epidemiological uses of administrative datasets. She is currently measuring New Zealand’s respiratory disease burden, and assessing the effect of mechanised home ventilation systems on health outcomes.
