Biography
Biography
My research concerns the design, delivery, and evaluation of group-based behaviour change interventions for health and wellbeing. I am particularly interested in promoting the recognition, management and measurement of group processes as key mechanisms of action in group-based interventions, through application of social identity and behaviour change theories. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher working on the PROGROUP randomised controlled trial, evaluating a group-based weight management intervention for people with severe obesity.
