Research Interests
Dr Larney’s work focuses on the epidemiology and prevention of drug-related harms such as hepatitis C infection, injecting-related injuries and diseases (e.g. abscesses), excess mortality, and contact with the criminal legal system. She is developing a program of research on aging in people who use drugs. Current projects include :
