My primary research interest is in the development and implementation of qualitative research methods within clinical trials, with a specific focus on mental health trials. I am fascinated by the use of qualitative research in understanding the experiences and perspectives of trial participants and how these insights can be used to improve trial design and delivery. Through my work on the various trials and as a member of the QuinteT team, I have gained valuable experience in implementing QRIs and conducting in-depth interviews with trial participants to assess the acceptability of trial procedures. I am particularly interested in exploring new ways of incorporating qualitative research methods in clinical trials and mental health research to better understand the experiences of under-served populations.
