What is best practice in sex and relationship education? A synthesis of evidence, including stakeholders’ views
OBJECTIVES: Sex and relationship education (SRE) is regarded as vital to improving young people's sexual health, but a third of schools in England lacks good SRE and government guidance is outdated. We aimed to identify what makes SRE programmes effective, acceptable, sustainable and capable of faithful implementation. DESIGN: This is a synthesis of findings from five research packages that we conducted (practitioner interviews, case study invest…
Among friends
Drinking is viewed by young people as a predominantly social activity which provides an opportunity for entertainment and bonding with friends. Using Bourdieu's concepts of habitus, field and capital, this article explores young people's attitudes and beliefs around alcohol use, influences on behaviour, and the role of peers, with a view to informing the development of preventive interventions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 28 yo…
What do young people think about their school-based sex and relationship education? A qualitative synthesis of young people's views and experiences
OBJECTIVES: Although sex and relationship education (SRE) represents a key strand in policies to safeguard young people and improve their sexual health, it currently lacks statutory status, government guidance is outdated and a third of UK schools has poor-quality SRE. We aimed to investigate whether current provision meets young people's needs. DESIGN: Synthesis of qualitative studies of young people's views of their school-based SRE. SETTING: E…
Exploring the feasibility of theory synthesis
Locating and applying sociological theories of risk-taking to develop public health interventions for adolescents
Sociological theories seldom inform public health interventions at the community level. The reasons for this are unclear but may include difficulties in finding, understanding or operationalising theories. We conducted a study to explore the feasibility of locating sociological theories within a specific field of public health, adolescent risk-taking, and to consider their potential for practical application. We identified a range of sociological…

Rhetoric and reality in stroke patient care
Social and practical strategies described by people living at home with stroke
People with stroke are often referred to in negative terms. The phrase 'stroke victim' suggests that they are regarded as passive and deserving of pity, whilst 'the burden of care' implicates them negatively as an encumbrance to others. Much of the literature focuses on how stroke devastates peoples' lives, again casting the person with the stroke as an inactive victim of the illness, and subsequently a passive recipient of care. Against this bac…
Illness in the Context of Older Age
Stroke is popularly conceived of as an illness which shatters lives. The discourse of shattered lives, articulated more generally within the sociological literature on chronic illness as 'biographical disruption', is examined with reference to the experience of a sample of predominantly elderly, working class people living in the East End of London. We begin by exploring the interviewees' responses to the stroke as something which was 'not that b…

DESIGN--Postal survey of carer satisfaction with stroke services was carried out using the questionnaire we developed and tested.
