- Older adult alcohol consumption & health (On going) The 'Health and Ageing Research Team' (HART) at Massey University are an award winning research group who have 5 waves of data on the health and wellbeing of ageing New Zealanders. We are very keen to explore and model (1) the predictors of heavy alcohol consumption across waves,, (2) the predictors of change in alcohol consumption in New Zealanders as they age, (3) the degree of alcohol consumption in the presence of comorbid health conditions and medication use, and (4) patterns of healthcare utilisation related to different drinking patterns.

Graduate Supervision Statement
My supervision
I'm a motivated and pragmatic supervisor of public health and psychology projects. I help students identify a project that is just the right scope for their abilities, the right size for their aims, and do-able in the time that they have. I'm keen to talk to any student who may feel slightly out of their depth, a little anxious about what a project should look like and basically unsure of what they are doing.That is exactly how you should feel as a project student; you wouldn't be learning anything if you weren't outside your comfort zone.
My areas of interest
I have broad public health and psychology interests. This means I can work with students across a range of projects that they might come to me with, or, I have a range of potential projects students can complete. I'm interested primarily in the following areas of research:
- Alcohol and other drug misuse
- Health trends & determinants across the lifespan
- Health communication & public health literacy
- Public health screening
- Emotions
Associate Professor Andy Towers is available for Masters and Doctorial supervision.
