Hello & Welcome to the Research Zone podcast, the podcast where we aim to make sense of youth mental health research. Each week, we will talk to a different researcher to learn about their research project, discussing the why, what, where, when and how of their research, and most importantly, how this can benefit us as young people. 

Today I am joined by Claire Goodfellow to chat about stigma in mental health amongst adolescence. We will cover: 

• What stigma is, and why it’s important for young people 
• How Claire conducted her research 
• What Claire found from her questionnaires  
• Implications of the research - for schools, policy makers and parents 
• What’s next for stigma research
