Dr Lynsay Matthews

  • Research Fellow (MRC/CSO Social & Public Health Sciences Unit)

Biography

Lynsay is a Research Fellow in the MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit. She currently works on the MRC and NIHR funded guidance update for Developing and Evaluating Complex Interventions (publication expected in late 2019). Lynsay was formerly Trial Manager for the NIHR funded HelpMeDoIt! Study, exploring the use of online technology and social support in the lifestyle behaviour change of obese adults. Lynsay is part of the Unit's Complexity programme. 

Lynsay is experienced in the use of mixed methods research. She is interested in the use of process evaluations and how these can be used to support the translation of research findings into practice. Her main research interest is lifestyle behaviour change.

In her previous posts, Lynsay has worked on numerous studies including: 

  • Moving on and Feeling Good, a feasibility study exploring factors associated with the health behaviours of adolescents with learning disabilities as they transition from school to adulthood (University of Strathclyde, PI Dr Fiona Mitchell).
  • NHS Grampian’s physical activity consultation service within routine diabetes care (nominated for the Education and Self-Management Award at Diabetes UK, 2016; and runner-up at the Quality in Care Diabetes Award 2015) (PhD research collaborators, University of Strathclyde).
  • Walk Well, an RCT walking intervention for adults with intellectual disability (University of Glasgow, PI Prof Craig Melville); 
  • Leading Better Care, a health services research study exploring the role of Senior Charge Nurses in NHS care provision (University of the West of Scotland, PI Prof Jean Rankin); 
  • Take 5, an RCT dietary interventions for adults with intellectual disability (University of Glasgow, PI Prof Craig Melville); 
  • Living Life to the Full, a cognitive behavioural group interventions for people with anxiety and depression (University of Glasgow, PI Prof Chris Williams); 
  • DASH Study, a longitudinal study exploring adolescent health behaviours (MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit, PI Prof Seeromanie Harding); 
  • Walking for Wellbeing in the West 65+,a walking interventions for adults over the age of 65yrs (University of Strathclyde, PI Prof Nanette Mutrie). 

Lynsay’s other roles:

  • Member of the local organising committee for the International Conference of Behavioural Medicine, Glasgow 2020. 
  • Chair of the Solutions Focussed Research Theme webpage and communication subgroup. 
  • Member of the Athena Swan work group for Postgraduate Research.
  • Member of the SPHSU’s Staff Development and Learning Group.
