Tania King

Tania King is a social epidemiologist whose work is broadly focussed on understanding the way mental health and suicide is patterned across society. A central focus of this research is examining the role of paid and unpaid work in shaping mental health outcomes, particularly in relation to male-dominated occupational settings. A quantitative researcher, she has led data linkage studies examining the relationship between work stressors and hospital presentations for self-harm, and has been a Chief Investigator on suicide prevention randomized control trials in the workplace. Her work on gender equality centres on the way gender normative divisions of paid and unpaid labour are related to mental health and suicide.
