Personal Info

Elaine Chase joined the Department in August 2010. Prior to this she worked as a Senior Research Officer at the Thomas Coram Research Unit, Institute of Education (University of London) and since 1990 has worked in the fields of public health and health-related research. Her experience is in policy-focused research in relation to the health, wellbeing and rights of children, young people and families, particularly those most likely to experience disadvantage and marginalisation. She has conducted many qualitative and mixed-method studies both in the UK and internationally.  Specific research interests and projects have included: young parents; young fathers; young people in and leaving local authority care; promoting young people’s health in community settings (including schools); international assessments of young people’s access to sexual and reproductive health services; HIV/AIDS (including prevention and support interventions); child and youth migration and, in particular, the wellbeing of unacompanied children and young people seeking asylum in the UK.

Elaine is currently working on the international ESRC/DFID- funded study: Shame, Social Exclusion and the Effectiveness of Anti-Poverty Programmes. In addition to her research work, Elaine also tutors on the Social Policy paper of the PPE course.
