Research

Judith's research interests range across the sociology of health and medicine. She has published widely on risk, health services, public understanding of health and illness, and research methods, particularly for evaluation.  Her recent and current interests focus on three themes:

1) The intersections of everyday mobility and health.  Studies have included evaluations of policy interventions, such as the social and health impacts of free bus travel for children; explorations of how mobility modes (such as driving, walking or cycling) are socially constituted and transform; changing regimes of mobility; studies of he impact of new technologies such as telematics on how people move in the city; and quantitative studies of inequaliites in transport-related health outcomes. 

2) Knowledge in public health practice, including questions of how evidence travels across sites and sectors; public understanding of public health issues; and the relationships between professionals, expertise, health publics and health governance.  

3) Methodology. Particular interests include developing ways of integrating diverse sources of evidence, and developing methods for evaluation that provide tractable and transferable evidence.  She is currently contributing to projects on case study research in public health, and on methods for synthesising qualitative data sets.
