I have three main areas of research: adolescent health and wellbeing, leisure and evaluation methodology.

• My research on adolescent health and wellbeing focuses on how psychological and social factors shape adolescent health behvaiours, in particular substance use and physical activity.
• My research on leisure focuses on how structured (e.g. extracurricular activities) and unstructured leisure contexts present among adolescents, to what extent they contribute to short- and long-term health behaviours and wellbeing outcomes as well as how they are shaped by inequalities. I work with international teams understanding how cultural differences in leisure opportunities present across societies and how they are supported by social policies.
• Within evaluation methodology I am interested in complex interventions and how these are piloted as well as adapted from different contexts. Interventions that have technology-based components are also of particular interest. I have led and co-authored systematic reviews of guidance surrounding evaluation methodology as well as co-authored MRC guidance on adapting interventions to new contexts published in the British Medical Journal.
