Dr Stacey Jennings

Profile

I am a Research Fellow based in the Centre for Psychiatry and Mental Health. I am currently completing an NIHR Three Schools Post-Doctoral Fellowship co-developing cultural competency and alcohol prevention resources with ethnic minority populations.

I previously completed my Barts Health Charity funded PhD studentship at QMUL, exploring alcohol misuse and support experiences within South Asian communities. In addition to my work at QMUL, I also work within the South London Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) alcohol theme at King’s College London. I am a qualitative researcher specialising in addiction and mental health inequalities, qualitative methodologies, and Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) approaches. I also supervise undergraduate and postgraduate student projects aligned with my areas of research interest.

Research

Research Interests:

My research interests include addiction and mental health inequalities, alcohol misuse and intervention, comorbid mental and physical health conditions, underserved communities, qualitative methodologies, co-production and participatory methodologies, and Patient and Public Involvement.
