Biography
Associate Professor Angela Watson (BAPsych(Hons); MHS, PhD) is a Principal Research Fellow supported by a Motor Accident Insurance Commission funded research fellowship within the Australian Centre for Health Services Innovation and the Jamieson Trauma Institute. She is currently working on road safety data linkage projects in collaboration with Transport and Main Roads, Queensland Health, and the Motor Accident Insurance Commission. She has worked on a wide range of projects in the areas of young drivers, older drivers, moped and scooter safety, drink driving, unlicensed driving, and speeding penalty changes/speeding recidivism. Angela has experience in the analysis of large crash, offence, and administrative health data sets. Angela’s PhD project aimed to assess the quality of current sources of transport-related injury data and to assess the linkage opportunities that exist within Queensland in order to provide a more comprehensive picture of transport-related incidents and the resulting injuries. Angela is also currently working on the Austroad’s national road crash data linkage project "A National Approach to Measuring Non-Fatal Crash Outcomes".Personal details
