Tessa Reardon
PhD
Research Fellow
I am a Research Fellow in the Departments of Experimental Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Oxford, and a Hugh Price Fellow at Jesus College.
My research focuses on the development, evaluation and implementation of novel approaches to identify and support children with common mental health problems.
I use range of methods in my work, including systematic reviews, randomised controlled trials, surveys, measurement development, qualitative and co-production approaches. I am particularly interested in addressing barriers families face accessing mental health support and implementing evidence-based solutions through schools.
I have a lead role on two large school-based randomised controlled trials to evaluate approaches for identifying and supporting primary school children with and at-risk for anxiety disorders (iCATS and MYCATS trials).
I will soon be starting a Prudence Trust Fellowship that builds on this work and focuses on the implementation of ‘identification-to-intervention’ pathways through primary schools.
