The Health, Education and Behaviour Change (HEBC) showcase

Description

The Health, Education and Behaviour Change (HEBC) Research Theme at The University of Northampton sits within the Centre for Psychological and Sociological Sciences (CPSS) and draws upon cross-disciplinary expertise from researchers within the Faculty of Health, Education and Society.

Members of HEBC work to understand behaviour change and address real world problems in the areas of health and education. HEBC researchers are not only inter-disciplinary, but use a range of quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods approaches to conduct applied research and advance existing knowledge within this area.

The current roundtable symposium aims to showcase some of the valuable work done by members within this research theme who are conducting cutting-edge research in the area of behaviour change. Four papers will be presented, with a brief introduction about HEBC by the stream chairs (Rachel Maunder and Kimberley Hill), followed by a discussion of the key contributions and impact of this work.

The presentations will include:
Dr Rachel Maunder (HEBC Co-lead), talking about "Supporting children to develop caring friendships in primary school"
Dr Zhimin He, talking about "Using mHealth (Mobile Health) in Mental Health"
Dr Nicholas Thompson, talking about "Scalable Transdiagnostic Early Assessment of Mental Health (STREAM): Developing a Tablet-Based App to Assess Early Child Development in Low-Resource Settings"
Valentina Diaconu (PGR), talking about "Exploring the Connection Between Children’s Social Status, Peer Relations, and Teacher Gaze in Real Time Interactions"
