## Overview

### Background

Asad is a methodology expert with over 25 years of research experience in behavioural epidemiology, public health, mental wellbeing, and intervention research. He has established a vibrant multidisciplinary research team with global experts to strengthen his program of research spanning active lifestyles and health equity.

Asad’s research involves epidemiological modelling of large multi-country data to examine the role of physical activity, screen time, social media, and sleep on mental health and wellbeing, especially in children and adolescents. He is also interested in identifying emerging challenges in equitable healthcare access for people with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds including immigrants.

His exceptional publication record includes over 230 articles in high-impact journals [e.g., Lancet Child & Adolescent Health (top in Pediatrics), and British Journal of Sports Medicine (top in Sport Sciences)]. He has attained >AU$13.0 million in competitive research grant funding as a Chief Investigator with >AU$10.0 million from 10 NHMRC/MRFF grants.

Asad has an outstanding track-record of supervision with completion of 16 PhD/MPhil student projects and is currently supervising 15 PhD/MPhil students. He has collaboration with leading universities, renowned organizations and industry partners across Australia and globally, and empowered over 20 early- and mid-career researchers from the Indo-Pacific region to conduct ethical and high-quality research.

- #### Physical activity, sedentariness and mental wellbeing of children and adolescents

  Physical inactivity and sedentariness may be deleterious for health and wellbeing of individuals. Understanding the distribution and determinants (i.e., epidemiology) of physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and their interrelationships can have considerable public health implications in societies where sedentary and inactive lifestyles have become more prevalent. Furthermore, it would be useful to examine whether physical activity can attenuate or even eliminate the detrimental effects of sedentary behaviours on individuals’ health and psychosocial wellbeing. This research will explore patterns of physical activity and sedentary behaviour, links with physical and psychosocial wellbeing, and if activity can offset potentially detrimental effects of prolonged sedentariness.

- #### Analyses of ordinal outcomes

  Patient reported outcomes are widely used in health and rehabilitation sciences. These outcomes are often assessed using different rating scales, which result in ordinal outcome data. Although there are demonstrated advantages of Rasch-based modelling, over the classical methods, such modelling has received a little attention in health and medical research in analysing ordinal outcomes. Additional evidence needs to be generated to demonstrate the inferential costs of using classical methods in analysing ordinal outcomes, which in turn can further strengthen the argument for using Rasch-based modelling. This work will also facilitate the development of guidelines for statistical analyses of rating scale ordinal outcomes.

- #### Health and wellbeing of culturally and linguistically diverse populations and their access to health-care services in Australia

  Australia is one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse countries in the world. About half (49%) of Australians were born overseas or had one or both parents born overseas. However, there are apparent disparities in health and wellbeing in people with diverse backgrounds. People from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds can face greater challenges when navigating the health-care system, which compromise their equitable access to healthcare services. Language barriers, lower health literacy, and difficulties navigating an unfamiliar system put them at greater risk of poorer quality health care, service delivery and poorer health outcomes compared with other Australians. Understanding patterns of diseases within CALD populations is important to being able to address the health needs of the CALD population. In addition to examining chronic diseases and risk behaviours, this research will explore issues and challenges in accessing health-care services among CALD populations in Australia.
