Clifford’s research uses the Applied Social Identity Approach to investigate how social relationships can benefit health and how sharing a collective identity can enable members of disadvantaged communities to deal with adversity. He also examines how interventions such as Social Prescribing can be used to reduce loneliness and to reconnect isolated and marginalised populations.
