The cultural and religious complexities of Amish-focused mental health conditions research
Mental health conditions research often relies on reductionist cultural assumptions about the population studied and instruments validated from majority populations. In exhaustively reviewing the limited body of Amish mental health conditions research, we find that studies are well-executed by methodological protocols but that findings are inconsistent or limited in generalizability, instrument validity remains contested, and study investigation …
Experience and perpetration of intimate partner violence and abuse by gender of respondent and their current partner before and during Covid-19 restrictions in 2020
This study confirmed that IPVA can occur in all intimate relationships, regardless of gender of the perpetrator or survivor. Non-binary respondents or respondents with non-binary partners reported the highest use and experience of IPVA. Most IPVA victim support services have been designed for heterosexual, cisgender women. IPVA support services and perpetrator programmes must be tailored to support all perpetrators and survivors during the pandem…
What Are the Sociodemographic and Clinical Characteristics and Needs of Mothers Who Access Acute Postpartum Psychiatric Care and Have Children’s Social Care Involvement
Mothers with severe postpartum psychiatric diagnoses are more likely to have children’s social care involvement with their infants, but little is known about the needs or experiences of this group of women. With input from a lived experience advisory group, we carried out secondary analysis of data collected from 278 mother-infant dyads where the mother accessed acute psychiatric care in England or Wales postnatally. We explored the characteristi…
Physical health conditions of the Amish and intervening social mechanisms
Impacts of changes in alcohol consumption patterns during the first 2020 Covid-19 restrictions for people with and without mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions
Evaluation of anti-stigma social marketing campaigns in Ghana and Kenya
The increase in intended contact in the absence of other changes seen in Ghana, is consistent with the early results for Time to Change England. The estimate for the magnitude of this change is the same as Time to Change England for the general population between 2009 and 19, a very promising result for a short term public mental health campaign. The different results observed between sites may be due to campaign as well as population differences
Advance integrated group intervention to address both substance use and intimate partner abuse perpetration by men in substance use treatment
ISRCTN79435190 prospectively registered 22nd May 2018
Perceptions of positive treatment and discrimination toward people with mental health problems
Evaluations of anti-stigma interventions typically assess changes in knowledge and attitudes and rarely measure behaviour. This paper reports interim findings on perceived and self-reported avoidance, discrimination and positive treatment from the 2017 and 2019 Attitudes to Mental Illness surveys, which evaluate England’s Time to Change programme. Nationally representative quota samples of participants aged 16+ (n=1720 in 2017 and n=1785 in 2019)…
Moderation by socioeconomic status of the relationship between familiarity with mental illness and stigma outcomes
Our results support the promotion of familiarity through encouraging discussion of mental health problems within social networks. However, lower stigma related knowledge among people with personal experience in lower socioeconomic groups suggests different responses to mental illness among these groups are needed

Are Regions Important in British Elections? Valence Politics and Local Economic Contexts at the 2010 General Election
Pattie C. J., Johnston R. J., Schipper M. and Potts L. Are regions important in British elections? Valence politics and local economic contexts at the 2010 General Election, Regional Studies. Electoral support for major parties is influenced by judgements of economic performance. This helps account for electoral geographies, as economic conditions vary spatially. Past work, concentrating on objective economic indicators or on voters' personal eco…

Impacts of climate change on indirect human exposure to pathogens and chemicals from agriculture
Climate change is likely to affect the nature of pathogens/ chemicals in the environment and their fate and transport. We assess the implications of climate change for changes in human exposures to pathogens/chemicals in agricultural systems in the UK and discuss the effects on health impacts, using expert input and literature on climate change; health effects from exposure to pathogens/chemicals arising from agriculture; inputs of chemicals/path…

Precautionary tales
Incidence of breast cancer is rising globally, with little attention paid by government health planners to upstream causal factors. The research reported here used qualitative methods to explore the usefulness of creating opportunities for dialogue between various `communities of interest' - laypeople, health activists, environmentalists, scientists, health professionals and politicians - concerned about possible environmental factors in breast c…
Bridging differential understanding of environmental risk of breast cancer
The incidence of breast cancer in the UK continues to increase: the lifetime risk for women is now one in nine. The reasons for this are hotly disputed by scientists (toxicologists, molecular biologists, geneticists, epidemiologists), breast cancer activists, and environmentalists, with a range of theories about breast cancer causation. There is a significant degree of disagreement between these various stakeholders, and a lack of effective dialo…

An epidemiology of women's lives
The dominant discourses of breast cancer risk are individualistic and biological, tending to emphasize personal life history, genetic predisposition and ‘lifestyle’ factors. Statutory programmes to reduce risk are correspondingly concerned primarily with early detection, and not with primary prevention of a disease whose incidence rate continues to rise in the UK and the USA. Against this, the breast cancer movement is working to emphasize the co…
Mapping citizen expertise about environmental risk of breast cancer
A range of different communities of interest make knowledge claims regarding the association between environmental hazards and breast cancer, including policy makers, epidemiologists, scientists, activists in the breast cancer/environment movement, and women with breast cancer. The paper considers how the fences and defences between these groupings are maintained through differential relations of power and legitimacy, and how these are challenged…

Dissonant Voices
This article grows directly from a collaborative project on the pedagogies of women's studies at the College of Ripon and York, and the University of York, and from the presentation given at the Gender and Education conference at the University of Warwick in April 1999. It is presented as a dialogue which polarises two voices considering a variety of positions adopted by tutors of women's studies in relation to their students, and, in particular,…
