Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Internal medicine
  • Law

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Injury prevention, Environmental health, Suicide prevention, Human factors and ergonomics and Occupational safety and health. His Injury prevention research spans across into fields like Social psychology, Gerontology, Demography, Psychiatry and Harm. The various areas that Gerhard Gmel examines in his Gerontology study include Global health and Years of potential life lost.

His research investigates the connection between Years of potential life lost and topics such as Communicable disease that intersect with problems in Non-communicable disease and Disability-adjusted life year. His Environmental health study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Epidemiology, Disease and Risk assessment. His Human factors and ergonomics research includes themes of Alcohol and Alcohol dependence.

His most cited work include:

  • A comparative risk assessment of burden of disease and injury attributable to 67 risk factors and risk factor clusters in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (7776 citations)
  • Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 291 diseases and injuries in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (5887 citations)
  • Years lived with disability (YLDs) for 1160 sequelae of 289 diseases and injuries 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (4886 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Injury prevention, Environmental health, Human factors and ergonomics, Suicide prevention and Psychiatry. His Binge drinking study, which is part of a larger body of work in Injury prevention, is frequently linked to Occupational safety and health, Demography, Social psychology and Emergency department, bridging the gap between disciplines. The study incorporates disciplines such as Psychological intervention, Odds ratio, Gerontology and Confidence interval in addition to Demography.

The concepts of his Environmental health study are interwoven with issues in Epidemiology and Disease. His Psychiatry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Young adult, Longitudinal study and Cohort study. Gerhard Gmel combines subjects such as Randomized controlled trial, Brief intervention and Clinical psychology with his study of Young adult.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Injury prevention (31.19%)
  • Environmental health (26.19%)
  • Human factors and ergonomics (22.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Clinical psychology (17.62%)
  • Cohort study (19.29%)
  • Young adult (19.76%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Clinical psychology, Cohort study, Young adult, Demography and Alcohol use disorder. His Clinical psychology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mental health, Addiction and Sensation seeking, Personality. His Cohort study study incorporates themes from Snus, Cannabis and Environmental health.

Gerhard Gmel integrates Environmental health with Injury prevention in his research. His studies deal with areas such as Coping and Longitudinal study as well as Young adult. His Demography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Psychological intervention, Point estimation, Odds ratio and Confidence interval.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The relationship between different dimensions of alcohol use and the burden of disease-an update. (335 citations)
  • Binge drinking: Health impact, prevalence, correlates and interventions (137 citations)
  • Technology-mediated addictive behaviors constitute a spectrum of related yet distinct conditions: A network perspective (41 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Statistics
  • Internal medicine
  • Law

Gerhard Gmel mainly focuses on Clinical psychology, Cohort study, Environmental health, Addiction and Injury prevention. In his study, Coping is strongly linked to Young adult, which falls under the umbrella field of Cohort study. His Environmental health study combines topics in areas such as Alcohol abuse and Per capita.

Gerhard Gmel has included themes like Epidemiology, Disease, Cause of death, Risk assessment and Risk factor in his Alcohol abuse study. His study in Injury prevention is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Suicide prevention and Human factors and ergonomics. His research integrates issues of Relative risk and Guideline in his study of Occupational safety and health.
