Dr Leigh Tooth

After graduating in Occupational Therapy from the University of Queensland in 1990, I spent almost three years working in adult physical rehabilitation in the United Kingdom before returning to Australia to complete my PhD. My PhD research was in the area of patient and family education, for patients undergoing angioplasty.

Following this I have worked as a post-doctoral research fellow in the Department of Occupational Therapy and The School of Population Health at the University of Queensland. I am currently employed on a NHMRC Public Health Fellowship, specifically to study the long term outcomes (functional, health status, health service utilisation) of patients 6 and 12 months post stroke.

While not officially joining the capacity grant team until August 2003, I have begun working with the team on particular topics of interest.

My particular interests are measuring change, the meaningfulness of change and responsiveness of health measures.

My non-work life includes my husband Phil, our weekend farm retreat, my horse Sunny and cat Coco!
