Professor of Health Studies
<p>Professor Lloyd has an international reputation for research in the psychosocial field of diabetes. Her research interests centre on diabetes and mental health within which there are two overlapping strands. The first of these focuses on the relationship between diabetes and mental health and how this might impact on the individual and on health service provision. The second strand is her commitment to taking an inclusive approach to her research, pioneering alternative ways of involving minority ethnic groups in research where they are often excluded due to language and literacy difficulties.</p><p>Professor Lloyd's current research interests include diabetes prevention, diabetes-related distress, community-based interventions for diabetes and depression in Sub-Saharan Africa, and the care pathways for depression and other psychological problems in people with diabetes. </p><p>In collaboration with service users from minority ethnic groups, Professor Lloyd has developed culturally appropriate versions of scales used to screen for depression, diabetes self-management and emotional well-being, as well as the Michigan Diabetes Knowledge Scale (including a simplified'True/False' version) in collaboration with Professor Tom Fitzgerald and other colleagues both in the UK and the U.S. These questionnaires have subsequently been used in a wide range of studies across the globe - please contact Prof. Lloyd for details of and permission to use these scales.</p><p>She is the Project Lead for a global study, the <strong>International Prevalence and Treatment of Diabetes and Depression (INTERPRET-DD) Study </strong>investigating the prevalence of recognised and unrecognised depression (using a standardised clinical interview), diabetes-related emotional distress, the impact on diabetic control and complications, and the care pathways that are initiated to treat co-morbid diabetes and depression. </p><p>Professor Lloyd Co-leads CoIN-DD (Community Intervention Network for Diabetes and Depression) in collaboration with Professor David Ndetei, founder of the African Mental Health Research and Training Foundation, funded by a Global Challenges Research Fund Networking Grant. Other CoIN-DD members are in Uganda, Tanzania and Ethiopia.</p><p>Current PhD supervision:</p><p>1. Experiences of diabetes care for people with learning disabilities - Lorna Rouse, The Open University.</p><p>2. Eating disorders in people with diabetes - Catherine Mackenzie, The Open University.</p><p>3. The experience of those who care for people with diabetes - Anne Turner, ESRC Doctoral Training Programme, The Open University.</p><p> </p><p>Co-Lead for the Health Studies Research Group. Special interest groups include:</p><p>- Mental Health</p><p>- Living with disability and long-term conditions</p><p>- Public Health</p><p><br /> </p>

Professor Lloyd studied with the Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications (EDC) team of investigators, following a large cohort of adults with Type 1 diabetes. </p><p>On her return to the UK, Professor Lloyd was awarded an RD Lawrence Fellowship from Diabetes UK to study the role of stress and depression in young people's management of their diabetes with a joint appointment between the University of Birmingham and Birmingham Heartlands Hospital.
