Biography
Mhairi graduated from the University of Glasgow with an MPhil in Social Science Research Methods in 1999 and has a MA (Hons) in Philosophy, also from the University of Glasgow. Before joining the Unit she worked at the Transport Research Institute at Napier University and the Centre for Transport and Society at the University of the West of England. She then held the post of Researcher in Evidence-based Child Public Health in the Paediatric Epidemiology and Community Health (PEACH) Unit at the University of Glasgow. Funded by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, her remit was to generate relatively rapid evidence to inform decisions being made concerning child public health services. Since joining the MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit as an Investigator Scientist in 2012, she has been lead reviewer on a review of theories on how income relates to health for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, and on a qualitative systematic review of the health and wellbeing impacts for lone parents in welfare to work. She is also involved in the TIDieR-PHP project to adapt reporting guidelines for population health and policy interventions.
Research Interest
Her interests are in understanding health inequalities, and in the potential for mixed methods synthesis incorporating systematic review methods to produce timely and useful information on how interventions do, or do not, work.
