Hannah's Doctoral research focuses on the effectivness of theoretical-based digital nutrition behaviour change interventions on healthy eating behaviours and dietary intakes in low-socioeconomic primary school children.

Hannah aims to address the need for theory-based digital interventions, developed with interacting components which result in the greatest effectiveness of dietary outcomes in low-socioeconomic families.
