Dr Anne-Marie Laslett is a social, epidemiological and public health research fellow with the Centre for Alcohol Policy and Research (CAPR). She has worked in the area of alcohol and drug epidemiology at Turning Point Alcohol and Drug Centre for the past 17 years, joining CAPR in 2008.

Her research on the project has examined harms from others’ drinking both as reported in general population survey respondents and as recorded in the caseloads of social and health response agencies. In particular, in 2011/12, Anne-Marie’s research has focused on a study of alcohol’s involvement in child abuse, using data from the Victorian Child Protection System and the national Alcohol’s harm to others survey. This research for her PhD has been supported by a Sidney Myer Fund and ARF PhD scholarship. She is also a co-investigator and technical advisor to the World Health Organization/Thai Health International Collaborative Research Project on ‘The Harm to others from drinking’. Dr Laslett originally graduated as a dentist, and went on to complete degrees as a Master of Preventive and Community Dentistry (Oral Epidemiology) and a Master of Public Health.
