Jude Stansfield

Principal Research Fellow

Jude is a Principal Research Fellow in the Centre for Health Promotion Research. She undertakes public health research relating to community-centred approaches, mental health and wellbeing and health inequalities.

Dr Jude Stansfield started working with LBU in 2016 on public health research within the national public health institute as a National Adviser. This embedded position focussed on evidence-based policy development and local implementation. She is now working part-time as Principal Research Fellow within the Centre for Health Promotion Research. Her work and publications focus on reducing health inequalities through mobilising and scaling community-centred approaches, embedding mental health and wellbeing and understanding and addressing the psychosocial factors influencing health and health inequalities.

Jude is a registered public health specialist, starting her career in health promotion in 1993 following her first degree in Community & Youth Studies. For the last 30 years she has worked with local, regional and national public health systems and with international partners. She obtained her Masters in Public Health and Health Promotion from the University of Manchester in 1999 and her Doctor of Philosophy by published works from LBU in 2023. Her thesis focused on knowledge translation through the development of conceptual and implementation frameworks to advance mental health as a public health priority. This explored the application of complex and whole-system approaches to public health.

Research Interests

Jude's research with Professor Jane South on community-centred approaches and systems has led to several government reports and implementation tools that are being used within local and regional public health systems. Her research continues to explore how to scale and embed community-centred approaches as part of action to reduce health inequalities.

Jude is developing the theme of mental health within the CHPR. Her Public Mental Health research has informed policy and practice and included government reports and knowledge products on psychosocial pathways, workforce development, reducing SMI premature mortality and national PMH and prevention frameworks.
