The research investigates two important issues in health economics: (1) the economic causes and consequences of mental health and wellbeing and (2) planning the supply of, and requirements for, health care workers. The research on mental health and wellbeing will consist of three linked studies, all using data from a representative sample of individuals from across Great Britain followed-up over an 18-year period (1991-2008). These studies will consider:(1) whether decisions to move to a different part of the UK are associated with improvements in wellbeing (2) how the development of long-term health conditions influences the contribution that individuals and their households make to Government finances through income tax and benefit receipts (3) how changes in mental wellbeing for one individual influence the mental wellbeing of the other individual in couples.The workforce planning research will develop methods for forecasting the number of dentists that will be required which take account of changes in population needs, productivity and skill-mix, and levels of private sector provision. Expertise and skills that will be developed through formal training courses, new collaborations and the undertaking of these studies will provide a firm grounding for a future career in economics of health research.

该研究调查了卫生经济学中的两个重要问题：(1)心理健康和福祉的经济原因和后果；(2)卫生保健工作者的供应和需求规划。关于心理健康和幸福的研究将由三个相关的研究组成，所有研究都使用了来自英国各地有代表性的个人样本的数据，随访时间长达18年（1991-2008）。这些研究将考虑：(1)移居英国其他地区的决定是否与福祉的改善有关(2)长期健康状况的发展如何影响个人及其家庭通过所得税和福利收入对政府财政的贡献(3)夫妻中一个人的心理健康变化如何影响另一个人的心理健康。劳动力规划研究将开发预测所需牙医数量的方法，这些方法将考虑到人口需求、生产力和技能组合以及私营部门提供水平的变化。将通过正式培训课程、新的合作和开展这些研究而发展的专门知识和技能将为今后在卫生研究经济学方面的职业生涯奠定坚实的基础。
