Chris began his research career during his undergraduate psychology degree at UCL when he explored the differences in mental illness stigma levels and type between UK-based white-English and Greek/Greek Cypriot samples.
He then worked as a researcher for Barnet, Enfield and Haringey NHS Trust, specifically leading on an RCT of a brief psychoeducational intervention for families of patients suffering from their first episode of psychosis, and working on a study quantitatively examining psychological disorders amongst refugee and migrant schoolchildren.
In 2008, he completed his PhD which examined mental illness stigma from a cross-cultural perspective using mixed methods, while concurrently engaging in systematic literature reviews of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drug use and their link to mental health in the Greek culture.
After the completion of his PhD, he joined Kings College London where he led work on multiple systematic reviews of the mental health of mental health staff.
Thereafter, he joined the Institute of Psychiatry where he was appointed as a Research Fellow on a programme of research examining conflict and containment within psychiatric inpatient wards.
Chris has a wide range of research interests many of which he is currently conducting research on.
These include mental illness stigma, conflict and containment within inpatient psychiatric settings, alcohol and substance misuse, loneliness, migration, ethnicity and culture (in particular the individualism-collectivism cross-cultural value paradigm).
He is currently a Senior Lecturer and Distance Learning leader on the MSc Public Health course.
