Research Themes and Scholarly Interests

My research interests focus on research and evidence use in public health, knowledge mobilisation, embedded research, qualitative research methods, place-based and community-led approaches to addressing inequalities in health, and the health and social impacts of welfare reform, including Universal Credit.
