Spatial inequalities and the impact of multiple environmental risks on ethnic minority children's health
PURPOSE: Urban environments are a key determinant of health and health inequality. We explore the impact of multiple spatial inequalities on primary healthcare use in a prospective multi-ethnic urban cohort of children. METHOD: Primary-care consultations and prescription data for 4949 children were collected from birth to 10 years. Environmental exposure scores for air-pollution, road-traffic, green-space, and proximity to fast-food outlets were …
A City “Collabatory”
Improving children's health and development in their early years is important, urgent and, cost‐effective. But it's difficult to do. Using an example from Bradford in the UK we argue that integration, innovation and community engagement are key. Long‐term funding also helps. Problems with multiple causes need “whole system” responses. This includes integration of research, commissioning and service delivery. We test innovations, learn about how t…
Compliant citizens, defiant rebels or neither? Exploring change and complexity in Covid‐19 vaccine attitudes and decisions in Bradford, UK
BACKGROUND: COVID-19 vaccines have been the central pillar of the public health response to the pandemic, intended to enable us to 'live with Covid'. It is important to understand change and complexity of COVID-19 vaccines attitudes and decisions to maximize uptake through an empathetic lens. OBJECTIVE: To explore the factors that influenced people's COVID-19 vaccines decisions and how their complex attitudes towards the vaccines had changed in a…
Nothing about us without us
INTRODUCTION: Co-production with communities is increasingly seen as best practice that can improve the quality, relevance and effectiveness of research and service delivery. Despite this promising position, there remains uncertainty around definitions of co-production and how to operationalize it. The current paper describes the development of a co-production strategy to guide the work of the ActEarly multistakeholder preventative research progr…
People powered research
Communities identified both structural and individual factors as important priorities for health and happiness. We demonstrate how communities can be involved in priority setting using a co-productive approach in the hope this can be used as a model for others. The resulting shared research agenda will shape future research to improve the health of families living in Bradford
British Muslims, Ethnicity and Health Inequalities
Presents a pioneering collection studying religion as a wider determinant of health in Britain Highlights the role of religion in exacerbating health inequalities, along with ethnicity, racism, social class and deprivation Investigates contemporary health inequalities among second and third generation British Muslims, with a particular focus on disadvantaged children Captures a wide range of health issues that British Muslims live with, such as: …
Exploring the Interactions between Housing and Neighbourhood Environments for Enhanced Child Wellbeing
Children's health can be affected by the interrelated characteristics of the physical and social environment where they live, including housing quality, neighbourhood characteristics and the local community. Following a systems-based approach, this exploratory project sought to understand how the needs and aspirations associated with the home environment can work in synergy with, or be exacerbated by, other aspects of the local area. The study re…
Understanding Covid‐19 misinformation and vaccine hesitancy in context
BACKGROUND: COVID-19 vaccines can offer a route out of the pandemic, yet initial research suggests that many are unwilling to be vaccinated. A rise in the spread of misinformation is thought to have played a significant role in vaccine hesitancy. To maximize uptake, it is important to understand why misinformation has been able to take hold at this time and why it may pose a more significant problem within certain contexts. OBJECTIVE: To understa…
Taking a deep breath
Air quality initiatives such as CAZs were felt to be likely to financially disadvantage communities already living in socio-economic and environmental poverty. Policy makers need to carefully consider appropriate mitigation strategies to ensure that health and economic inequalities are not increased by implementation of CAZ. Given air quality is low priority for some groups, careful engagement and communication will be required to increase accept…
Assessing community readiness for early intervention programmes to promote social and emotional health in children
OBJECTIVE: Evidence for early intervention and prevention-based approaches for improving social and emotional health in young children is robust. However, rates of participation in programmes are low. We explored the dynamics which affect levels of community readiness to address the issues of social and emotional health for pregnant women, young children (0-4 years) and their mothers. SETTING: A deprived inner-city housing estate in the north of …
Not a level playing field
Greenspace is important for physical and mental health. Low-income, multi-ethnic populations in deprived urban areas experience several barriers to using greenspace. This may exacerbate health inequalities. The current study explored structural and individual determinants of greenspace use amongst parents of young children in an urban, deprived, multi-cultural area situated in the North of England, UK. Semi-structured in-depth interviews and focu…
Addressing obesity in Roma communities
Purpose Participation in community programmes by the Roma community is low, whilst this community presents with high risk of poor health and low levels of wellbeing. To improve rates of participation in programmes, compatibility must be achieved between implementation efforts and levels of readiness in the community. The Community Readiness Model (CRM) is a widely used toolkit which provides an indication of how prepared and willing a community i…
The journey effect
The qualitative study presented in this paper explored the perspectives of service-users, family members and staff about the impact of travel issues on the lives of mental health in-patients and carers. This topic was chosen because it was prioritised by members of Xplore, a service-user and carer research group, and has received little research attention. Travel problems were a significant issue for many service-users and carers, bound-up with m…
