Dr Jessica Mundy

Research Fellow

United Kingdom

I am a Research Fellow in the Department of Health Services Research and Policy. I am part of the team undertaking the national evaluation of mental health support teams (MHSTs) in schools and colleges. This is a 36-month mixed-methods evaluation funded by the National Institute for Health and Social Care Research (NIHR) to understand how the policy is being implemented and its outcomes.

 

I previously worked as a post-doctoral researcher at Aarhus University in psychiatric epidemiology and genomics. I hold a PhD in statistical genetics and psychiatry from King's College London.
