His research on the relationship between alcohol consumption and cancer incidence and mortality has been published in scientific journals and widely disseminated in scientific conferences and mass-media. His other key contributions to research include leading a systematic review of changes in smoking behaviours during the COVID-19 pandemic, estimates of smoking behaviours over time in Australia, quantifying risk factors for lung cancer other than tobacco smoking, methodological considerations for epidemiological studies of alcohol consumption, and epidemiological analyses of obesity, physical activity, and pharmaceutical opioid use.
