Her research interests focus on the design and delivery of participant centred trials: from point of initial contact through to feeding back results to individuals.   She  lead research in the application of behavioural science to trials methodology. For example, framing problems of recruitment and retention as behaviours and exploring the opportunities to improve these aspects through the design of participant centred, theoretically informed, interventions.
