Rate My Professor Sheree Gibb

Gibb's research interests encompass a broad spectrum of public health issues, including mental health, suicide prevention, poverty, childhood obesity, ethnic disparities in health outcomes—especially among Māori populations—cancer survival inequities, autism spectrum disorders, first episode psychosis, criminal justice interactions, educational outcomes, and social determinants of health. She has produced over 65 peer-reviewed publications, many employing linked administrative data for national cohort studies. Notable works include 'Gastric cancer survival (in)equity from 2002 to 2021: examining demographic and clinical characteristics among Māori and non-Māori' (2026, New Zealand Medical Journal), 'Measuring ethnic disparities in lung cancer: the role of population and data sources' (2025, International Journal for Equity in Health), 'Incidence, prevalence and mortality of inflammatory bowel disease in New Zealand 2006–2022' (2025, Internal Medicine Journal), 'Applying Indigenous identity definitions in official health statistics: a case study using linked cancer registry data on stomach cancer' (2025, New Zealand Medical Journal), 'Mortality risk among Autistic children and young people: a nationwide birth cohort study' (2024, Autism), and 'Association Between High-Need Education-Based Funding and Suspension Rates for Autistic Students' (2022, JAMA Pediatrics). With over 2,500 citations, her contributions have significantly advanced understanding of health inequities, social outcomes, and policy implications in Aotearoa New Zealand.
