Katherine Brown is the professor of behaviour change in health in the Department of Psychology, Sports and Geography at the University of Hertfordshire.
Early life and education
She was awarded her PhD in 2004 at Sheffield Hallam University.
Career
She held posts[when?] as lecturer, senior lecturer and professor of health psychology applied to public health at Coventry University[1] where she was course director of the MSc health psychology programme for a period of three years. She was acting lead of the Centre for Technology Enabled Health Research (CTEHR) sub-theme behaviour and interventions research.[2][when?]
She is a chartered psychologist, a HCPC registered health psychologist, and full member of the Division of Health Psychology (DHP).[3] Her academic and professional expertise encompasses sexual and reproductive; health education; intervention design, development and evaluation; eHealth; public health communication; and health and wellbeing outcomes.[4] She currently holds the position of chief investigator of the Central of four Public Health Interventions Responsive Studies Teams (PHIRST) commissioned by the National Institute for Health Research.[5][better source needed]
The initial focus of Brown's research was sexual health, but this has been expanded to include research in the fields of obesity, smoking cessation, low rates of breastfeeding,[3] public health interventions from design and implementation to evaluation, and the use of eHealth as a method of intervention delivery. She had also worked on the support of interventions that bolster sexual health and wellbeing outcomes, such as supporting the cessation of female genital mutilation within migrant African communities in Europe,[2] as well as the study of the widespread impacts of sexual assault referral centres on the mental and sexual health and quality of life for survivors across a number of ages.[6]
Brown has contributed to national strategies including the sexual health care pathway for school nursing, the female genital mutilation care pathway for the Department of Health, and she is currently working with Public Health England on the social and behavioural sciences strategy.[3] Since 2011 she has spent more than eight years working in an embedded role at Public Health Warwickshire leading public health research and evaluation, and also holds an honorary contract with Public Health England.[1]
As a result of her contribution to her academic and professional disciplines, she has been awarded grant income in excess of £7 million[7] from diverse sources including research councils such as the British Academy, the National Institute for Health Research, the Medical Research Council, the European Commission and commercial funders.[2]
Publications
She has published widely in journals across the fields of psychology, medicine, and public health,[1] with more than 70 peer-reviewed publications and academic reports,[citation needed] and in excess of 30 presentations as a a keynote and invited speaker.
Brown is also Editor of the member's publication for the Health Psychology in Public Health Network, and a member of their committee that aims to increase the use of the evidence discovered in Health Psychology within public health commissioning and practice.[3]
Public health intervention studies
Brown is chief investigator of the Central Public Health Interventions Responsive Studies Team (PHIRST), leading the team alongside Professor Wendy Wills. Funded by the NIHR funded and led by the University of Hertfordshire,[7] the team is one of fours PHIRST teams, whose aim is improve public health by working in partnership with local authorities and their collaborating organisations, to provide a central advisory point, conduct research, and evaluate the efforts of public health initiatives, services and programmes by these authorities.[8]
The Central PHIRST, as led by Brown and Wills, began working on 1 August 2020, and includes researchers with a wide variety of relevant backgrounds including public health; social work and social care; criminology; psychology; sociology; nursing; biomedical and environmental sciences; health economics; pharmacology; epidemiology; and sports science.[9] The leadership of widely published and respected academics such as Brown aids in a broad reach of connections to expertise outside the team, due to existing research connections and membership networks.[10]
The Central PHIRST initially began working with Leeds City Council and their partners to evaluate the implementation of remote services for drugs and alcohol delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic.[9] Their second project is the assessment of the impact of the move of an exercise referral scheme to a remote platform as a result of COVID-19.[11] In both cases the aim is to understand the adaptation to remote delivery during the pandemic impacted services, staff and service users, in order to understand how to best structures services in the future based on the evidence of this research.[12]
