Overview
I joined the Cardiff University School of Social Sciences in 2005 as a Research Assistant, while completing an MSc in the University of Bristol. I completed my ESRC funded PhD within the school in 2010, subsequently taking up a post-doctoral role, before obtaining an MRC funded personal fellowship. I was appointed as a Senior Lecturer in 2016 and achieved promotion to Reader in 2018 then to Professor in 2020. Within my current role I am Deputy Director & Health Public Policy programme lead in the Centre for Development Evaluation Complexity and Implementation in Public Health Improvement (DECIPHer) funded by Health & Care Research Wales. I am also an investigator, and Wales academic lead, on a large UKPRP funded consortium focused on commercial determinants of health and health inequalities (Shaping Public hEalth poliCies To Reduce ineqUalities and harM; SPECTRUM). Further, I am an investigator (and workstream co-lead) on the new Wolfson Centre for Young People's Mental Health to be established in 2020.
I have an international reputation in methodological innovation in evaluating social interventions. I led the development and authorship of highly cited MRC guidance for process evaluation, and am joint PI on an MRC grant developing guidance for adaptation of social interventions for new contexts, to be submitted for publication in late 2020. This work connects to my substantive interests in health inequalities through its emphasis on moving intervention science beyond a focus on whether interventions 'worked', toward a greater emphasis on understanding the contextually situated nature of intervention effects, and the consequences of intervention-context interactions for the widening or narrowing of inequality. As programme lead for DECIPHer's intervention methods programme from 2013-19, I led a series of established methodology short courses, delivered in 5 continents to date.
My substantive research interests are in health inequalities, primarily focused on inequalities in childhood and adolescence. This includes emphasis on understanding causes of health inequalities to inform policy and intervention, the implementation of policies and social interventions, and impacts of these on health and health inequalities. My current research includes a focus on equity impacts of universal interventions, and on interventions specifically targeting vulnerable populations, such as children in local authority care or children exposed to domestic violence, mostly focusing on interventions outside of the health sector itself. I am interested in school environments, and their role in reducing or amplifying socioeconomic inequalities in health, as well as how their interaction with family environments shape health and wellbeing. I was deputy lead of the School Health Research Network in Wales from 2015-20, playing a major role in overseeing the expansion of its biennial survey to reach whole population coverage, longitudinal capability and linkage to routine data, enhancing its ability to capture inequalities in health needs and evaluate equity impacts of policies and interventions. As a major contributor to the inter-generational reproduction of iinequalities, I also have a strong interest in tobacco use, tobacco policy, and the de-normalisation of smoking. I have led a number of studies focused on children's exposure to secondhand smoke in private and public spaces. I led some of the UK's first papers on youth e-cigarette use, attracting worldwide media and policy attention. I am a member of the board of trustees for the charity ASH Wales.
I am a member of the NIHR Public Health Research Funding Board and the CRUK Population Research Committee, and chaired the CRUK Prevention Expert Review Panel from 2018. I am also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Supervision
I currently supervise 6 PhD students, and have supervised a number of undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations in the Schools of Medicine and Social Sciences.
I am interested in supervising research projects in areas including:
- tobacco control and young people's perceptions of smoking;
- mechanisms underpinning socioeconomic inequalities in young people's health and health behaviour;
- school-based health improvement intervention;
- associations between, and common determinants in, health and educational outcomes of school pupils;
- intervention-generated-inequalities in health;
- intervention development/evaluation methods
