Research Interests

  • Interventions to improve health and social outcomes
  • Research transparency ("open science")
  • Publication bias and outcome reporting bias
  • Clinical trials
  • Systematic reviews
  • Harms ("adverse events")

Dr. Mayo-Wilson's research centers around three main areas:

  • Evaluating the effectiveness of health and social interventions
  • Advancing methods for conducting and synthesizing intervention studies (clinical trials and systematic reviews)
  • Improving research transparency through the use of methods that promote openness and transparency (e.g., study registration and data sharing)

I focus on three main areas: evaluating the effectiveness of health and social interventions; advancing methods for conducting and synthesizing intervention studies (clinical trials and systematic reviews); and improving research transparency through the use of methods that promote openness and transparency (e.g., study registration and data sharing). With Sean Grant, I co-direct the TRUST Initiative, which aims to increase transparency of interventions that inform health and social policy.
