Job specification: The Aberdeen Health Psychology Group is looking for an enthusiastic and ambitious Research Fellow to lead an exciting project titled Making smoking cessation interventions more useful to policy and practice: Identifying the effective behavioural compo­nents of smoking cessation support provided to intervention and control groups by applying innovative methods for evidence syntheses’.The purpose of the project is to use innovative methods for synthesising the evidence base of smoking cessation trials to identify their most effective behaviour change components, and translate this into recommendations for future smoking cessation policy and practice, thereby reducing the incidence of lung cancer and other tobacco-related conditions. The project is also expected to develop new methodological standards for the design, conduct and synthesis of smoking cessation interventions. You will receive formal training in the coding of behaviour change techniques and conducting meta-regression analyses.
