Research Interests

Primary research interests include health behaviour and contexts of health for children and young people, methodolgical developments in health promotion research, youth settings for health promotion (including schools), and Participative Research Processes (PRP). My early research career was diverse in terms of the methods employed and issues explored. Following my permanent appointment to the University I have worked to build up a research team that is collaborative, multidisciplinary, health promoting, productive and driven by a set of mutually agreed principles. My current team includes seven researchers and five PhD students. We work in close proximity and share tasks, creating a busy and vibrant atmosphere where creativity and precision are equally valued. Creativity is essential in conceptualising the research problem, ways of collaborating and in developing methodologies, but precision is required in data collection, analysis and documenting research practice. We focus on youth health promotion, and I have special interests and internationally recognised expertise in risk behaviours and sexual behaviour, disability and vulnerable children (including migrants and travellers), diet and nutrition, schools health promotion, child participation in the research process and equity and policy translation.
