Alice Maclean PhD

Alice MacLean joined the Institute for Social Marketing and Health as a research fellow in 2021. She is working on a CSO-funded qualitative study designed to amplify the voices of those with lived experience of Long Covid to improve understanding, support, treatment, and education in relation to the illness. Alice specialises in qualitative research but also has experience in conducting systematic reviews of quantitative evidence and has been involved in the development and evaluation of behaviour change interventions delivered in professional sports settings and secure institutions. Alice was based at the MRC Social and Public Health Sciences Unit (University of Glasgow) between 2010 and 2019, working on a range of projects initially in the Gender and Health programme and subsequently in the Improving Health in Settings and Organisations programme. Between 2007 and 2010, Alice worked at the Centre for Research on Families and Relationships (University of Edinburgh) as a research fellow on a qualitative longitudinal study which explored children’s and parents’ experiences of working parenthood. Prior to that, Alice conducted her PhD research, a qualitative exploration of gender differences in symptom reporting among children and young people, at the MRC Social and Public Health Sciences Unit.
