Overview
I am a researcher undertaking a Health and Care Research Wales Health Fellowship at DECIPHer (the Centre for Development, Evaluation, Complexity and Implementation in Public Health Improvement) in the School of Social Sciences.
My research has a substantive focus on mental health and wellbeing, particularly for children and young people. My current fellowship is investigating the need to identify and adapt global mental health programmes to Wales to address adolescent mental health issues.
My methodological focuses are on co-producing, adapting and implementing school and family-based health interventions, with a particular focus on participatory and qualitative approaches. My PhD optimised and tested theory for the co-production of school-based health interventions to support other researchers and school stakeholders to be able develop health and wellbeing interventions. I also have a track record in the design, conduct and reporting of systematic reviews.
I currently also lead/co-lead on research projects evaluating a Veteran family-based intervention and a Wellcome Trust Mental Health Data Prize project exploring the influences on school connectedness. I've recently worked on a National Institute of Health Research project, via the Public Health Responsive Studies Team based between Bristol and Cardiff University. This project is evaluating the impact and implementation of a school-based intervention about ‘Mindset Teams’ in Scotland.
