Dan is a third year PhD student in the Sheffield Methods Institute at the University of Sheffield. Dan’s research focuses on outcomes of young carers, specifically cultural participation, and the links between isolation and alcohol consumption. Methodologically, this is being done using different aspects of structural equation modelling, including confirmatory factor analysis, invariance testing, mediation analysis and multilevel modelling. Having worked as a mentor through Sheffield Hallam University with children facing a range of challenges, including one brilliant young carer, it’s been easy to see what young people can achieve when the right support is in place!
Dan has previously graduated with MSc Clinical Research, MSc Data Analytics and Society and BSc Mathematics and Economics, all at the University of Sheffield
