Preconception health among migrant women in England
Medical Research Council
It’s so Beneficial to be Able to Stop the Cycle
Purpose This study aimed to explore how pregnant women who experience Domestic Violence and Abuse (DVA) and men who commit DVA understand the impact of their childhood environment on their relationships with their children and co-parents, and how a DVA psychological intervention may shape their parenting. Methods Repeated individual qualitative interviews were conducted with pregnant mothers and fathers who reported DVA and were taking part in a …
Easier, but not easy
OBJECTIVE: Grounded Theory has previously been used to explore breastfeeding practices amongst average birthweight infants and these working hypotheses can be 'tested' in new contexts. A pre-existing Grounded Theory was applied to the context of women who gave birth to larger birthweight infants (≥4,000 g) to understand whether perceptions and practices of infant feeding were distinct. DESIGN: A nested qualitative study analysed data from N = 10 …
Infant feeding practices among macrosomic infants
The health benefits of breastfeeding are well recognised, but breastfeeding rates worldwide remain suboptimal. Breastfeeding outcomes have yet to be explored among women who give birth to macrosomic (birthweight ≥4000 g) infants, a cohort for whom the benefits of breastfeeding may be particularly valuable, offering protection against later-life morbidity associated with macrosomia. This longitudinal prospective cohort study aimed to identify whet…
Relationships between paternal attitudes, paternal involvement, and infant‐feeding outcomes
The breastfeeding intention-behaviour gap remains wide in developed countries. Current studies have focused on maternal attitudes and behaviours concerning infant feeding in order to explore barriers to breastfeeding continuation. There has been limited consideration of the impact of paternal attitudes and behaviours, despite contemporary parenthood evolving and evidence indicating that there are greater levels of paternal involvement in routine …
Equity in newborn care, evidence from national surveys in low- and middle-income countries
This analysis underlines the importance of facility birth for improved and more equitable newborn care. Shifting births to facilities, improving facility-based care, and community-based or pro-poor interventions are important to mitigate wealth-based inequities in newborn care, particularly in countries with large differences between the poorest and richest families and in countries with very low coverage of care
A mixed-methods feasibility study of an intervention to improve men’s mental health and wellbeing during their transition to fatherhood
This study assessed recruitment of first-time fathers, time to complete recruitment, and retention rates and identified outcome measures that could be used in a future definitive study. While it wasn't possible to examine the potential changes following the use of the Promotional Guide system, the study reported on the changes in the fathers' 'states' in the antenatal and postnatal period. It provided a narrative on whether first-time fathers fou…
Evaluating implementation strategies for essential newborn care interventions in low- and low middle-income countries
Neonatal mortality remains a significant health problem in low-income settings. Low-cost essential newborn care (ENC) interventions with proven efficacy and cost-effectiveness exist but have not reached high coverage (≥90%). Little is known about the strategies used to implement these interventions or how they relate to improved coverage. We conducted a systematic review of implementation strategies and implementation outcomes for ENC in low- and…
To what extent does maternal body mass index predict intentions, attitudes, or practices of early infant feeding
Public health guidelines recommend women establish and maintain exclusive breastfeeding to 6 months postpartum. Women with a body mass index (BMI, kg/m 2 ) in the overweight or obese range are less likely to initiate and continue breastfeeding than healthy weight women. Evidence for psychological mechanisms of this association using validated methods of measurement is limited, but factors such as attitudes and intentions for infant feeding are im…
For Baby’s Sake
For Baby’s Sake is an innovative whole-family intervention that works with parents from pregnancy to two years postpartum to break cycles of domestic abuse and improve outcomes for children. The programme launched in 2015 across two community settings in England, with an independent evaluation led by King’s College London. This paper aims to (1) summarise the process of developing For Baby’s Sake and how it has been embedded within two different …

Caesarean birth rates in public and privately funded hospitals
OBJECTIVE: To examine maternal and obstetric factors influencing births by cesarean section according to health care funding. METHODS: A cross-sectional study with data from Southeastern Brazil. Caesarean section births from February 2011 to July 2012 were included. Data were obtained from interviews with women whose care was publicly or privately funded, and from their obstetric and neonatal records. Univariate and multivariate analyses were con…
Human Trafficking and Health
Objectives. To investigate physical and mental health and experiences of violence among male and female trafficking survivors in a high-income country. Methods. Our data were derived from a cross-sectional survey of 150 men and women in England who were in contact with posttrafficking support services. Interviews took place over 18 months, from June 2013 to December 2014. Results. Participants had been trafficked for sexual exploitation (29%), do…
Severe maternal morbidity and breastfeeding outcomes in the early post‐natal period
Previous research has identified potential issues of establishing and maintaining breastfeeding among women who experience severe maternal morbidity associated with pregnancy and birth, but evidence in the UK maternity population was scarce. We explored the association between severe maternal morbidity and breastfeeding outcomes (uptake and prevalence of partial and exclusive breastfeeding) at 6 to 8 weeks post-partum in a UK sample. Data on brea…
Health in pregnancy and post-birth
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe the major factors affecting health during pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period and outline the evidence for interventions to improve outcomes in women and their children. Design/methodology/approach – Selective review of the literature. A number of electronic bibliographic databases were searched, including the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, PubMed and PsycINFO, for relevant studie…
PP21 Organisational Influences on Variation in Rates of Caesarean Section Among English NHS Trusts after Accounting for Maternal and Clinical Risk
Background The proportion of women in England having a caesarean has increased from 9% to 24.8% between 1980 and 2012. There is increasing attention focused on the short and long term effects on the mother and the baby and efforts to have an increased understanding of associated influences. Previous research has adjusted for population case-mix (Bragg al 2010), but there has been less research on the relative impact of organisational factors whic…
