Coventry University (CU) is inviting applications from suitably qualified graduates for a fully funded PhD studentship. This research project is funded by the University Alliance Doctoral Training Alliance – Future Societies programme.
Flooding has been identified as one of the most important climate change adaptation challenges that the UK is being faced, according to the latest UK Climate Change Risk Assessment report. It was further reported that most of the health burden associated with flooding is due to the impacts of flooding on mental health and wellbeing, ranging from anxiety, depression, to post-traumatic stress disorder, which their impacts be very significant and long-lasting. The aim of this project is to estimate the economic impact attributable to mental health morbidity caused following exposure to or disruption from flooding. In this project, flood impacts on people’s mental health will be modelled using appropriate probabilistic machine learning method (e.g., Bayesian network, Gaussian process) to the existing data and calibrating based on the Experts’ opinions/Meta-analysis results. The proposed health economic framework would improve our understanding of the factors affecting people’s mental health and provide an efficient way to calculate the costs/benefits of various proposed health interventions and environmental adaptations. The health economic framework developed in this research would be very helpful to inform health policy and decision making and the development and evaluation of cost-effective interventions to protect people’s mental health and wellbeing, particularly among vulnerable people.
