"Jacqueline Tallent is a Research Fellow at the Sidney De Haan Research Centre for Arts and Health. She is completing her PhD at the university in Health and Wellbeing for the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Social Care. Her thesis explored the social networks of mental health prisoners after their release from prison.
Her research career started in 2010 when she worked as a student psychologist at Broadmoor Hospital. Since then, she has conducted research in high—and medium-security hospitals and prisons.
Her current projects include a Campbell Collaboration Evidence and Gap Map (EGM) that evidences the current literature on art-based intervention in secure criminal justice settings, and a range of projects with centre colleagues evaluating arts and health in different contexts.
