Biography

I am a sociologist interested in how social relationships - with partners, family members, peers, and communities - affect health. Much of my work focuses on sexual health and wellbeing. I am committed to collaborating with communities and organisations to co-produce and evaluate interventions aiming to improve health and reduce health inequalities.

Education

BA Geography, University of Leeds
MSc Social Research, University of Edinburgh
PhD Sociology, University of Edinburgh

Prior to joining SPHSU, I worked at the University of Edinburgh (2009), the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (2009-2014), and the University of the Pacific (2014-2017).

Current role

I am based in the Relationships and Health programme at the Social and Public Health Sciences Unit (SPHSU).

I am Co-Chair for the IReSH network (Interdisciplinary Research in Sexual Health), which seeks to bring together people from academia, the third sector, health sector and communities to collaborate and coordinate research activities related to sexual health and blood-borne viruses (BBV) in Scotland.

I am also an Associate Director for the Centre for Research on Families and Relationships, and a member of the British Sociological Association.

You can find me on Bluesky, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate.

Research interests

I use mixed methods research to understand how social relationships affect health, and to develop and evaluate interventions to improve population health.

Research interests:

adolescent and young adults' health
sexual health and wellbeing
mental health and wellbeing
public involvement and stakeholder engagement (theory, practice, ethics, evaluation)
co-production and participatory approaches
systems thinking
qualitative methodologies
process evaluation

Current projects:

CONUNDRUM Action (Co-Principal Investigator). A participatory project aiming to increase young people’s meaningful involvement in sexual health policymaking and service improvement in Scotland. The project brings together an Action Group including young people across Scotland, researchers, and sexual health stakeholders from Scottish Government, NHS Scotland, and third sector.
Sexual Wellbeing as an Ambition for Scotland (Co-Principal Investigator). An agenda setting and capacity building project, funded by Scottish Government.
Equally Safe at School (Co-Investigator; Process Evaluation Lead). A NIHR-funded mixed methods evaluation of a whole schools approach to tackling gender-based violence in secondary schools in Scotland, conducted in partnership with Rape Crisis Scotland.
Good Measure (Co-Investigator). A UKRI-funded project aiming to advance resources and measures for capturing sexual dimensions of adolescent mental health and wellbeing.
Katawag (Co-Investigator). Mental wellbeing among call centres employees in the Philippines: A complex systems approach to intervention development. The project is a joint venture between researchers at De La Salle University in the Philippines, and University of Glasgow.
National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles-4 (Natsal-4). Natsal team member since 2011.
Partnership for Change (Co-Investigator; Work Package Co-Lead: Developing Theory of Change for IPS in Local Contexts). A UKRI-funded randomised controlled trial of ‘Infant Parent Support,’ a coproduced poverty and neurodiversity-aware mental health intervention aiming to support struggling families whose children are supported by social work or other family support services.

Recent projects:

TRIUMPH (2019-2023, Co-Investigator; Co-Lead for "Key Groups" theme) - a UKRI-funded network, which brings together young people, academics, practitioners and policymakers to find new solutions to improve youth mental public health. The Key Groups theme focuses on groups of young people with poorer mental health outcomes, including LGBTQ+ and care-experienced young people.
CONUNDRUM (2019-2020, Co-Principal Investigator). Commissioned by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Lanarkshire, and Lothian, in partnership with the Scottish Government, this co-produced study examined the multi-level and complex factors shaping young people’s use and non-use of condoms and contraception. A diverse range of young people and sexual health stakeholders (e.g. service providers and decision-makers) took part in the research process, to generate in-depth understanding of the issue, and to co-produce recommendations for future sexual health policy and service provision. Study outputs can be found here

The JACK Trial (Trial Coordinator, Scotland), a UK-wide NIHR-funded RCT evaluating a school-based sexual health promotion programme.
WAYS (Co-Investigator). A qualitative multi-modal project using interviews and photos to explore understandings and experiences of health and wellbeing among LGBTQ+ young people living in diverse locations and circumstances across Scotland.
SaFE (Co-Investigator). A NIHR-funded study to optimise, feasibility test and pilot a safer sex and healthy relationships intervention for Further Education settings.
