Background

I am a member of the Population Health Sciences Institute and work in the Human Nutrition and Exercise Research Centre. I am part of the Nutrition, Exercise and Metabolism research theme and also the Public Health and Health Inequalities theme.

Research

Research interests

My work explores dietary assessment methodology in children and adolescents; how we can use novel methods to improve both the accuracy of self-reported intakes and the process of obtaining these data.


Current work

I currently work as a research associate at the Human Nutrition and Exercise Research Centre. I am co-lead on an MRC Global Partnership project to develop Intake24 across Africa and Asia, working with partners in Ethiopa, Ghana, South Africa, Uganda, Indonseia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. I hold an ESRC New Investigator award to develop the use of school food purchase data as a method of assessing diets in secondary school pupils.


Previous work

I led a pilot study for the Diet and Nutrition Survey of Infants and Young Children (DNSIYC) to test the feasibility of a food diary method to assess intakes in 4-18 month infants. I was involved in the development of Intake24, an online 24 hour dietary recall tool, which is being used in the Scottish Health Survey (SHeS) and the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) and has been adapted for use in other countries. I have worked on various aspects of the Northumberland Middle Schools Food study; a cross-sectional survey of food intakes in 11-12 year olds living in Ashington and Morpeth. I also worked on an evaluation of the Change4Life Sugar Smart campaign. My PhD was completed by publication, and was entitled 'The development and application of approaches to measuring diet across childhood and adolescence'.
