Exposure to behaviour change techniques and self-management tasks in a nationally-implemented digital intervention for type 2 diabetes self-management
This is the first analysis to quantify engagement with behaviour change techniques and self-management tasks in a 'real-world' digital type 2 diabetes self-management programme. Future work needs to identify how to encourage usage of key material in online interventions, for example, by allowing users greater flexibility to access content they wish to engage with
Walking is our asset”
Walking is the primary mode of transport in African cities. Despite a growing number of policies recognizing the need to retain and protect people walking, walking infrastructure is still lacking on the continent. There is a dearth of research about the key barriers and enablers that influence the way in which transport and urban planning policies are implemented in Africa, and international best practices lack relevance for African contexts. Thi…
Neighbourhood flOurishing (Nourish)
Short individual Subjective Wellbeing (SWB) survey instruments are increasingly used to measure the impact of policy and community health initiatives. Neighbourhood-level interventions should affect social SWB, where intervention impact relates to a geographically bounded area. Existing social SWB measures lack spatial focus and have not been tested with low literacy users. The objective of the study was to develop and validate a short and inclus…
Impact of a low-cost urban green space intervention on wellbeing behaviours in older adults
This study assessed the impact of low-cost physical changes to four urban amenity green spaces on older adults’ wellbeing behaviours (people taking notice of the environment, physical activity levels, social interactions), relative to eight matched comparison sites in Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. Systematic observations were conducted at baseline, six- and twelve months, with a nested qualitative study. There was no evidence that the inter…
I Would Never Come Here Because I’ve Got My Own Garden”
Green spaces are known to improve health and wellbeing via several mechanisms, such as by reducing stress and facilitating physical activity. However, little is known about the impact of the smaller green spaces typically found in urban environments on wellbeing, especially for older adults. This study investigated experiences in adults (5 males and 10 females) aged 60 years and over of small urban green spaces in a large UK city. Fifteen older a…

Robert Alun Jones. The Development of Durkheim's Social Realism . Cambridge
This book, part of the “Ideas in Context” series printed under the editorship of intellectual historian Quentin Skinner, is an important contribution to the better understanding of Emile Durkheim's sociology and social philosophy
Self and Society in Popular Social Criticism 1920-1980
Since the tumult of the 1960s, sociologists and cultural historians have suggested that a 'new sensibility' has become more prominent in the United States and other advanced capitalist democracies. In most accounts, the core of the change is an increase in expressive individualism, popularly justified by discourse very much indebted to the language of academic and clinical psychology. Among symbolic interactionists, Ralph Turner's proposal that t…
