What affects the likelihood of children entering public care? The interaction of household low income, area-level deprivation and parental risk factors
Adult risk factors partly explain the relationship between both area-level deprivation and low income and the likelihood of children entering public care. • While children from areas of high deprivation are more likely to enter public care, parental risk factors have the same effects on the odds of care in areas of high deprivation and areas of low deprivation. • Specific adult risk factors − depression, anxiety and self-harm − have a bigger impa…
What Linked Data Can Tell Us About the Increasing Numbers of Children Entering Public Care
The number of children in public care in Wales, UK, rose from the mid‐1990s to 2021. It is unclear if this change was related to increases in risk factors in parents, changes in the impact of risk factors, or changing policies and practices. Administrative data from children's social care were linked to administrative health care data to create three cohorts of households with children, covering 4‐year periods between 2008 and 2020. Households th…
The inter-relationship between parental problems and ethnic background
Both parental problems and being from certain ethnic minoritized populations are associated with an increased likelihood of children entering local authority care. This study explored the intersection of these factors in the UK. Population-level administrative datasets were linked to create a dataset of school-aged children living in households in Wales, between 2016 and 2020 (n = 431,584). Multilevel logistic regression models were used to look …
Parental risk factors and children entering out-of-home care
Parental difficulties, including mental ill health, substance misuse, domestic violence and learning disability have been associated with children entering out-of-home care. There is also evidence that these issues may co-occur within families. Understanding how the co-occurrence of these difficulties is associated with care entry is complex because they may co-occur in the same or different household members and have different impacts on the lik…
A mixed-methods process evaluation of the feasibility and acceptability of involving community and peer role models within a physical activity intervention for primary-school-aged girls (the CHARMING …
Findings can be used to optimise the CHARMING intervention and inform wider interventions or policies employing several role models across settings to promote physical activity among children
“I don't mean to be rude, but could you put a mask on while I'm here?” A qualitative study of risks experienced by domiciliary care workers in Wales during the Covid‐19 pandemic
Domiciliary care workers (DCWs) continued to provide care to adults in their own homes throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The evidence of the impact of COVID-19 on health outcomes of DCWs is currently mixed. The OSCAR study will quantify the impact of COVID-19 upon health outcomes of DCWs in Wales, explore causes of variation and extrapolate to the rest of the UK DCW population. An embedded qualitative study aimed to explore DCW experiences during…
The impact of a specialist home-visiting intervention on the language outcomes of young mothers and their children
This observational study conducted within the context of a randomised-controlled trial suggests that the FNP home-visiting programme may have a small, but potentially important impact on young mothers' speech to their toddlers. Exploratory analyses identified family environment, maternal, and child related predictors of the language outcomes of young mothers and their offspring. Trial registration This trial is registered with ISRCTN, number ISRC…

Trials ISRCTN 12300853 Date assigned 11/02/2020
Health behaviour change among UK adults during the pandemic
A substantial proportion of participants reported attempts to change health behaviours in the initial survey phase. However, the lack of change observed over time indicated that overall motivation to engage in healthy behaviours was sustained among the UK adult population, from a period shortly after the first lockdown toward the end of the second prolonged lockdown
P regnancy and weight monitoring
Around half of pregnant women in the United Kingdom are overweight or obese. The antenatal period provides an opportunity for encouraging women to adopt positive lifestyle changes, and in recent years, this has included development of strategies to support women in avoiding excessive gestational weight gain. The objective of this interventional cohort study was to incorporate individualised gestational weight monitoring charts supported by motiva…
Assessing the impact of a family nurse‐led intervention on young mothers’ references to internal states
A mother's propensity to refer to internal states during mother–child interactions is important for her child's developing social understanding. However, adolescent mothers are less likely to reference internal states when interacting with their children. We investigated whether young mothers’ references to internal states are promoted by the Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) intervention, an intensive home‐visiting programme designed to support ado…
