Kate Reid, Core CR&DALL member has just returned from Indonesia (Yogyakarta) with other UoG colleagues from MRC/CSO Social and Public health sciences unit. This was a collaborators meeting to support continued research activity and capacity building with our research partners located from - Department of Psychology De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines, and our hosts for the week, Faculty of Medicine, Public Health and Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada.

This MRC/NIHR funded study aims to explore the feasibility of adapting a UK based adolescent stop smoking intervention in different country and cultural/educational settings.  Kate led on the qualitative capacity building for the field researchers who will be using NVIVO to analyse large scale qualitative data using a framework approach. Our partners in the Philippines are visiting the UK in June and are keen to learn about our research methods provision for our degree programmes.
