Miss Jessica Lennon is a Researcher (Research Assistant) affiliated with Cardiff University's School of Social Sciences, based within the DECIPHer research group. Her work focuses on mental health frameworks, child and adolescent psychological wellbeing, and the long-term impacts of parental mental health on offspring. She contributes to policy-oriented research, such as evaluating Wales' Whole School Approach to Emotional Wellbeing frameworks, and investigates psychiatric conditions like depression and ADHD through longitudinal studies.
Her research interests emphasize understanding mental health trajectories across lifespans, particularly in vulnerable populations. This includes studying how childhood environments (e.g., parental depression) influence adult mental health outcomes, as well as pandemic-related mental health shifts in children. Methodologically, her work combines qualitative policy analysis with quantitative epidemiological approaches.
Recent publications highlight her contributions to school mental health policy evaluation, intergenerational mental health dynamics, and the comorbidity of ADHD with recurrent depression in adults. She has collaborated with multidisciplinary teams on studies published in journals like Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry and The Lancet Psychiatry.
