Older adults’ experiences of wellbeing through engagement with a nature-based programme
Nature-based interventions and programmes hold real potential to effectively support older adults’ immediate and longer-term physical, social, mental, emotional, and psychological wellbeing needs. • Carefully designed, theory informed nature-based interventions and programmes may offer real potential to effectively support older adults’ immediate and longer-term wellbeing needs. • These may offer creative and complementary support amid an ever-in…
“We go hunting …”
The high prevalence of food insecurity in the United Kingdom has been exacerbated by the cost-of-living crisis. In high-income countries, those experiencing food insecurity struggle to buy and consume foods that meet Government healthy eating recommendations, and are at increased risk of obesity, linked to poor diet quality. Individuals in high-income countries purchase most of their food to consume at home from supermarkets, making this an impor…
Navigating infant food insecurity
Food insecurity is increasingly being recognised as a public health issue in high income countries, exacerbated for many by the recent cost-of-living crisis. High food prices mean many households, especially those with children, are vulnerable to food insecurity. Since 2021, and the emergence of the UK’s ‘cost-of-living crisis’, food charities have reported increased requests for support from families with young children. However, the experience …
Participants or pretenders? Addressing the challenge of inauthentic participation encountered during three social research studies on experiences of food insecurity in the UK
Individuals participate in research for numerous reasons, however, the global economic downturn may have driven some to participate solely for monetary recompense. While inauthentic participation is more widely recognised in quantitative survey studies, it is increasingly becoming an issue in qualitative research. Drawing on our experiences and supported by the wider literature, we highlight ways in which inauthentic participation can be identifi…
Food Insecurity, Diabetes Self‐Management and Support for Self‐Management in High‐Income Countries
People living with diabetes and food insecurity in high‐income countries have poorer health‐related outcomes than those who are food secure. Diabetes is a significant global health challenge. At the same time, the prevalence of household food insecurity continues to increase. This qualitative systematic review and synthesis explored the lived experience of diabetes self‐management and support for self‐management for people living with diabetes an…
Understanding the barriers to purchasing healthier, more environmentally sustainable food for people living with obesity and varying experiences of food insecurity in the UK
Unforeseen emotional labour
Emotional labour or emotion management describes regulation of feelings to fulfil specific job roles, discussed extensively around commercial and caring professions and more recently qualitative researchers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this was heightened due to changes in the socio-political context affecting individual circumstances and research practice, yet accounts pertaining to qualitative researchers are lacking. This paper presents a co…
Disrupted Candidacy
INTRODUCTION: Evidence examines how persons experiencing Long COVID (LC) struggle to secure healthcare for symptoms. However, few studies examine healthcare workers experiencing LC, nor the complex and multiple difficulties faced when seeking and receiving healthcare. METHODS: This study is based on two phases of longitudinally conducted qualitative interviews, 6 months apart, with National Health Service (NHS) workers experiencing LC, from diffe…
The impact of the cost of living crisis and food insecurity on food purchasing behaviours and food preparation practices in people living with obesity
Lower income households are at greater risk of food insecurity and poor diet quality than higher income households. In high-income countries, food insecurity is associated with high levels of obesity, and in the UK specifically, the cost of living crisis (i.e., where the cost of everyday essentials has increased quicker than wages) is likely to have exacerbated existing dietary inequalities. There is currently a lack of understanding of the impac…
Failure as Learning
An unpublished pilot study at a charitable youth organisation in the North East of Scotland found that young people (aged 16 to 25) accommodated by the organisation consumed a diet high in sugar and low in levels of foods such as meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables (Perry, 2013). The Foodways and Futures project (2013-2016), combining ethnographic and action research methodology, set out to explore why the diet of young people was sub-optimal, desp…
A qualitative investigation of lived experiences of long-term health condition management with people who are food insecure
This study, the first of its kind in the UK, indicated that participants' health condition management aspirations were undermined by the experience of food insecurity, and that their health care consultations in were, on the whole, devoid of discussions of those challenges. As such, the study indicated practical and ethical implications for health care policy, practice and research associated with the risk of intervention-generated health inequal…
Health professionals’ experiences and perspectives on food insecurity and long‐term conditions
Estimates suggest that over 10% of the UK population are affected by food insecurity. International evidence indicates that food insecurity is a risk factor for many long-term health conditions, and can adversely affect people's ability to manage existing conditions. Food insecurity is thus not only a serious social concern but also a healthcare issue requiring the attention of UK health professionals. An exploratory qualitative study was underta…
“A Lot of People Are Struggling Privately. They Don’t Know Where to Go or They’re Not Sure of What to Do”
This qualitative study explored frontline service providers' perceptions of the nature of food insecurity in Scotland in 2015 to inform national policy and the provision of locally-based support for 'at risk' groups. A country-wide in-depth interview study was undertaken with informants from 25 health, social care, and third sector organisations. The study investigated informants' perspectives associated with how food insecurity was manifesting i…
What can Secondary Data Tell Us about Household Food Insecurity in a High-Income Country Context
In the absence of routinely collected household food insecurity data, this study investigated what could be determined about the nature and prevalence of household food insecurity in Scotland from secondary data. Secondary analysis of the Living Costs and Food Survey (2007−2012) was conducted to calculate weekly food expenditure and its ratio to equivalised income for households below average income (HBAI) and above average income (non-HBAI). Die…

The findings have important implications for health professionals and policy makers wishing to engage with parents on this issue, or who are currently developing 'family-centred' early childhood weight management interventions. The challenge lies in the fact that mothers believe themselves to be the primary (and capable) agents of obesity prevention in the early years - but, who are at the same time, attempting to deal with many mixed and conflic…
Services just for men? Insights from a national study of the well men services pilots
Our findings question the utility of some theories of masculinity that posit somewhat simplistic explanations for men's reluctance to seek help from formal healthcare services. They also suggest that providing male-specific health services may not significantly address men's supposed reluctance to seek help from formal health services. Essentially, age seemed to be more important than gender. All encompassing health programmes are likely to fail …
Developing a timeline for evaluating public health nutrition policy interventions. What are the outcomes and when should we expect to see them
Objective To develop a timeline for evaluating public health nutrition policy interventions. Design Concept mapping, a stakeholder-driven approach for developing an evaluation framework to estimate the ‘time to impact’ for policy interventions. The Schools (Health Promotion and Nutrition) (Scotland) Act 2007 was used as the model to develop the evaluation timeline as it had typical characteristics of government policy. Concept mapping requires st…
More of the same? Conflicting perspectives of obesity causation and intervention amongst overweight people, health professionals and policy makers
Clinical governance and research ethics as barriers to UK low-risk population-based health research
Research ethics committees could be counter-productive, rather than protecting the vulnerable in the research process, they can stifle low-risk population-based health research. Research ethics in health services research is first and foremost the responsibility of the researcher(s), and we need to learn to trust health service researchers again. The burden of current research governance regulation to address the perceived ethical problems is nei…

Primary care staff's views and experiences related to routinely advising patients about physical activity. A questionnaire survey
If primary health care staff are to be fully motivated and effective in encouraging and supporting the general population to become more physically active, policymakers and health professionals need to engage in efforts to: (1) improve knowledge of current physical activity recommendations and population trends amongst frontline primary care staff; and (2) consider the development of tools to support individual assessment and advice giving to sui…
