    Research interests

    Rachel’s research interests focus on the links between mental health and inequalities in educational, community and sports contexts. Her research explores how community place-based programmes can be used to address mental health inequalities. Working cross sector with education settings, community sport, health and youth sector organisations, Rachel’s research is largely methodologically qualitative and explores how community place-based programmes are designed and implemented into the contexts and communities in which they serve. She is also interested in methodological approaches to programme design, implementation and evaluation, including coproduced and participatory approaches.
