Jordan is focused on Health Equity as premise for achieving Sustainable Population Health which is the ultimate indicator for Sustainable Development (SD). He points out that all policies have differential impacts on health of populations, which if not properly assessed and considered can lead to growing health inequalities, thus impede SD. He argues that inclusive policies should be a normative goal and Health in All Policies is the right approach for operationalizing policies and investments in all sectors.

My research focuses on the experiences and needs of ‘vulnerable’ or marginalised groups, specifically children and young people who provide informal care (young carers), people with mental health problems and learning difficulties and women victims-survivors of domestic violence and abuse. I am Director of the Young Carers Research Group at Loughborough University, which is known both in the UK and internationally for its pioneering work with children and young people with caring responsibilities and their families. Broadly, my expertise is in promoting evidence-based approaches to policy making, deriving impact from participatory research and designing interventions and models of best practice for ‘vulnerable’ or marginalised groups (Aldridge, J. (2015) Participatory research: Working with vulnerable groups in research and practice, Policy Press, Bristol, UK). I have recently completed two international research studies: an investigation of the experiences and needs of children, including children with disabilities, living in Tonga – the first ever national study to include the views of children and young people themselves; and a study of Roma community perspectives on migration to the UK.
