Naomi is a research assistant at the MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit at the University of Glasgow. in Scotland and the UK, with a focus on the impacts of accumulated and intersecting experiences of disadvantage for child and adolescent health. This research has utilised several datasets in the UK data service archives, including Understanding Society and the birth cohorts. I am particularly interested in participatory methods and how to co-produce resources for research impact with stakeholders, and am looking forward to exploring these methods further during the fellowship.
