Trosolwyg

I am Deputy Director of the Centre for the Development and Evaluation of Complex Interventions for Public Health Improvement (DECIPHer), Cardiff and a Senior Lecturer in Social Sciences and Health. After completing my PhD in the School of Social Sciences in 2010, I worked as a Research Associate for the Public Health Improvement Research Network, before obtaining a prestigious personal fellowship from the Medical Research Council in 2013. In 2015, I was appointed as a Senior Lecturer, before being appointed as Deputy Director of DECIPHer in 2016.

I have an international reputation as a specialist in methodology for evaluating complex interventions, having led the development and authorship of new high impact MRC guidance for process evaluation of complex interventions. I am programme lead for DECIPHer's complex intervention methods programme, including a number of established methodology short courses. I have also published widely in the field of tobacco control (including papers on young people's exposure to secondhand smoke credited with informing a decision to ban smoking in cars carrying children) and led two of the first papers on youth e-cigarette use, attracting worldwide media attention. I have managerial responsibilities within the School Health Research Network, and have led a programme of secondary analysis focused on impacts of school-based intervention on pupil health outcomes. In particular, I am interested in mechanisms through which schools and school-based intervention may increase or reduce socioeconomic inequalities in health.

In addition to supervising 3 current PhD students, my teaching responsibilities are primarily in quantitative and mixed social science research methodology, evidence based policy and child and youth health policy.

2013-2015 Supervision of 3 CUROP placement students

2011-2015 convenor of Health Improvement module of the Masters in Public Health, Cardiff University

I currently supervise 3 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 smoking uptake;
  • 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  

Bywgraffiad

I began working at Cardiff University as a Research Assistant in the Cardiff Institute of Society Health and Ethics on the evaluation of the Primary school Free Breakfast Initiative. Subsequently, I obtained funding for an ESRC 1+3 studentship, completing the MSc in 2006/07, and submitting my thesis in August 2010, which focused on the development of process evaluation methodology within the trial of the National Exercise Referral Scheme in Wales. During my studies I provided part-time statistical support to a range of projects including an evaluation of the impacts of smoke free legislation on children$acirc; s secondhand smoke exposure and a cross sectional examination of links between children$acirc; s family contexts and their drinking behaviours. From October 2010, I became a core member of staff for the Public Health Improvement Research Network within DECIPHer, providing support to the development of public health research bids. Within this role, I obtained several research grants as co-applicant and principal applicant. These included Alcohol Research UK funding for an exploratory trial of an alcohol-related intervention in Welsh Universities. Further high profile grants have included funding from the Medical Research Council for the development of guidance for process evaluation of complex interventions. I led the development of this guidance and am lead author on it. I also led a recent Welsh Government survey of childhood exposure to secondhand smoke in cars and homes. This was cited by the Welsh Government as having informed their decision to ban smoking in cars, leading to our research being cited in a number of national news outlets, and my being interviewed for Radio Wales. Since October 2013, I have been fully supported by a competitively obtained MRC Population Health Scientist Fellowship. I also convene the Health Improvement module of the Masters in Public Health, and currently supervise two PhD students.
