Annette’s research interests and expertise lie in the following areas:
1. Evaluating the costs and economic consequences of third sector run community capacity building projects which act at the interface with public service delivery; this includes befriending, peer support, help-at-home, time banks, community navigators and health champion models; this research was funded through the School for Social Care Research (SSCR), and smaller third sector provided grants.
2. The role of third sector projects in generating social innovation, their ways of measuring performance and economic impact; this research is a part of a European study called ITSSOIN.
3. The short- and long-term costs of maternal mental health problems linked to their negative impact on mothers and children; this work led to the high profile report on the ‘Cost of perinatal mental health problems’ which was commissioned by the Maternal Mental Health Alliance.
4. Early intervention and long-term support for parents with learning disabilities, including advocacy and parenting programmes; this work has been funded by SSCR and third sector grants.
