I am a Research Fellow in the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Salvation Army Centre for Addiction Services and Research (SACASR). I primarily work on the SHARPS (Supporting Harm Reduction through Peer Support) cluster randomised controlled trial. My research interests include health inequalities, substance use, vulnerable populations and mixed methods research. Prior to joining the University of Stirling, I worked as a researcher at the University of Glasgow and completed a PhD at the University of Sheffield. My PhD focused on understanding socioeconomic inequalities in alcohol harm using complex system modelling approaches.
Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a peer-delivered, relational, harm reduction intervention to improve mental health, quality of life, and related outcomes, for people experiencing homelessness and substance use problems: The ‘SHARPS’ cluster randomised controlled trial.
