I am a research assistant at the Institute for Social Marketing and Health (ISMH) at the University of Stirling. I completed my MSc in Health Psychology at the University of Stirling in 2022.
I am currently working on Project SCeTCH - a cluster RCT that evaluates the effectiveness of an e-cigarette intervention vs usual care at centres for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The study measures smoking abstinence over a 6 month follow-up period and includes embedded process and economic evaluations. If effective, the results will be used to inform the larger-scale implementation of offering e-cigarettes throughout centres for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness to aid smoking cessation.
