Current Research
Although primarily in a teaching role, Dr. Clare Cooper continues to develop her research interests. She has recently been involved in research exploring barriers to step-care delivery of psychological care in stroke wards, in collaboration with colleagues at NHS Grampian. Additionally, she is conducting early-stage research investigating barriers to engaging in physical activity for individuals with Parkinson’s disease. This research builds on Dr. Cooper’s broader work, which examines the role of emotion and other barriers to engaging in health behaviors, both in clinical populations and non-clinical groups. Through this research, she aims to improve understanding and inform interventions that promote better health outcomes.
