The session will begin with each panellist giving an overview of their activity, with projects including a mixture of research work, data analysis, and interventions currently running at UK universities.
This will be followed by a panel discussion and opportunity to ask questions. This will be chaired by our very own Alyson Dodd from SMaRteN.
