Peiwen currently leads or contributes to multiple research projects aimed at bridging gaps in health and health service utilisation among people with intellectual disability. Her main projects include investigating medication dispensing, particularly psychotropics, and drug safety among people with intellectual disability; understanding and improving data infrastructure to address knowledge gaps related to intellectual disability; and developing a tailored comorbidity index to enhance health research for people with intellectual disability.
