معرفی
Claire Willis is a Senior Research Fellow at the School of Human Sciences, The University of Western Australia, based in Perth, Australia. Her research focuses on physical activity interventions for vulnerable populations, particularly children with disabilities and those in out-of-home care. She actively contributes to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through work promoting health equity and social inclusion.
Dr. Willis's research profile centers on physical activity (100% fingerprint weight), cerebral palsy (32%), qualitative methodologies (27%), and mixed methods approaches (24%). Her work examines sport participation barriers, home care contexts, and leisure activity accessibility for marginalized groups. She employs stepped wedge cluster trials, reflexive thematic analysis, and trauma-informed frameworks to develop inclusive community-based interventions that improve quality of life and participation rates.
Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal a cohesive research trajectory focused on evidence-based physical activity solutions for disabled youth and children in care. Her work integrates sports medicine, psychology, and child welfare through mixed-methods designs that capture both quantitative outcomes and lived experiences. Key themes include accessibility barriers, caregiver perspectives, behavior change theories, and neuromotor condition management, with strong emphasis on practical implementation in real-world settings.
