HPV attitudinal research

  • general attitudes to sex, sexual health and condoms;
  • current sexual behaviour amongst this target group and likely condom usage;
  • what types of interventions could create behaviour change;
  • whether further research is required to test hypotheses directly with the target group.

Childhood obesity: Qualitative research with parents

Qualitative research to inform the development of an obesity prevention concept which would encourage trial and experimentation of healthy foods and resonate with the target audience.

  • To develop a concept to encourage trial and experimentation of healthy foods by children aged under 11 years old who are at risk of obesity.
  • To evaluate whether the concept resonated with the target audience (families with children under 11 years old from groups known to be most at risk of obesity).
