About
Overview
Dr Brenda Hayanga is a Presidential Research Fellow at the School of Health and Psychological Sciences, Department of Health Services Research and Management. She is primarily interested in examining how social, historical and structural processes intersect with individual processes to influence the health outcomes of people from minoritised ethnic groups. She adopts the use of an intersectional, life-course approach to understand the diversity of populations, to generate principles of effective interventions to improve health outcomes and to bridge the gap between research, policy and practice. Methodologically, she has training and experience in conducting quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods research, and systematic reviews. She also has expertise in using intersectionality-informed approaches which ensure a holistic understanding of health inequalities. Her most recent research has identified ethnic inequalities in healthcare use and care quality for people with multiple long-term conditions living in the UK. She is currently examining the ways in which the health outcomes of people with multiple long-term conditions can be improved using co-produced participatory approaches.

Award
- Campbell Collaboration (2021) Farah Jamal Award
The award for early career researchers aims to recognise scholarly research that ensures historically marginalised and under-represented voices are heard.
The award is named in honour and memory of Farah Jamal, an exceptional early career researcher who conducted innovative work on health inequalities. She believed that new approaches were needed for tackling long-term social problems, and she creatively blended the theories and methods of various disciplines to address complex research questions. Her PhD thesis comprised systematic reviews and qualitative studies aimed at understanding the interrelationship between institutional school structures and systems and local student culture and their influence on health and health inequalities for young people. Her research was founded on the concept of a “sociological imagination” to understand complex social processes.
