As school-based health researchers we’re interested in supporting students’ health, and very keen to work with secondary schools, but we’re not always sure how best to go about it
The Capturing All Voices study aims to explore successful collaborations between researchers and secondary schools, to help us to identify what’s working well, in which contexts/conditions, and where we might change things to make it easier for schools and researchers to work together.
Capturing All Voices team
Lead Researcher
Lauren Cross is a qualified teacher, working in secondary schools in the London and the East of England. Before starting her PhD, she worked as a research assistant at King’s College London and the University of Cambridge, focusing on school-based mental health and the impact of Covid-19 on young people.
Principal Investigator
Dr Esther van Sluijs leads the Behavioural Epidemiology and Interventions in Young People programme in the MRC Epidemiology Unit. This programme aims to develop and evaluate interventions to promote physical activity and dietary behaviour in young people, and use observational research to further understand where, when and how health promotion interventions in young people may be targeted.
