Overview
Supervision
I am interested in supervising doctoral students taking social science approaches to health improvement, particularly in relation to children and young people, health and health behaviours. This covers understanding a problem by taking a socio ecological perspective. It also includes studies that develop theoretically sound interventions with high external validity by following the MRC framework for the development of complex interventions, implementation science and co-production approaches.

Research
My research interests focus on two main areas. The first focuses on understanding and explaining young people's health and well being within their social context, drawing on socio ecological frameworks. This work informs the development and piloting of sustainable complex interventions for health improvement that address influences on multiple risk outcomes and health inequalities. The second concerns the evaluation of theoretically driven complex public health improvement initiatives, with a particular concern for the social processes and contextual influences that impact on implementation and effectiveness. I have undertaken a large number of pragmatic randomised controlled trials of complex interventions utilising mixed methodologies, including a number of national policy trials. I am particularly keen to develop the quality of public health improvement research and improve translation. I am lead investigator for the the national Schools Health Research Network linking school communities, policy, practice and researchers to develop and conduct helath improvement research in schools. I am also co investigator for the Wolfson Centre for Young People's Mental Health.
