Rachael Molitor is a Lecturer in Psychology at Coventry University, affiliated with the CAS School of Social Sciences & Humanities. Her research focuses on child development, behavioral sciences, and public health, with a particular emphasis on emotional eating in preschool children and home hazard prevention strategies for elderly populations.

Her work explores the interplay between parental emotional regulation, feeding practices, and child emotional eating, as well as the development of technology-based interventions for falls prevention. She contributed as a Co-Investigator to the GP Alliance Phase 1 Pilot Study, which evaluated healthcare interventions.

Key research interests include understanding mechanisms behind childhood obesity, parental influence on eating behaviors, and the design of effective home safety tools for at-risk groups. Her studies employ mixed-methods approaches, combining qualitative analysis with quantitative assessments.

Molitor has published on topics ranging from systematic reviews of feeding practices to the implementation of web-based health apps. Her contributions bridge psychological theory with practical public health applications.
