Summary of Research Interests
Prior to joining Teesside University in 2019, Hannah had worked in a variety of roles in the housing sector, most recently as Research Analyst on the Policy and Research Team at Thirteen Housing Group. In this role she was responsible for delivery of a range of qualitative and quantitative research projects on issues affecting Thirteen and their customers, including the impact of welfare reform. Earlier experiences within the Business Development Team included working on a number of strategic projects in the employability and skills sector, including the development of grants and bids. One of these projects, the DWP’s and ESF’s Youth Employment Initiative (YEI) programme, has ensured over 1.5million pounds of public funds has been distributed across the Tees Valley, and has supported over 1200 people with employment, education or training.
Hannah also has experience as a support worker, and worked in settings with young parents, individuals experiencing mental health difficulties, families within the social care system, homelessness individuals and with people with drug and alcohol dependency issues.
Hannah is interested in research which focuses on reducing health inequalities and increases psychological, physical and social wellbeing for vulnerable groups and communities. Hannah is passionate about reducing health inequalities and improving outcomes for people who use drugs (PWUD) and harm reduction interventions. Hannahs current projects are mainly based around Heroin Assisted Treatment (HAT) and she led on the evaluation of the first HAT service in the UK.
