Adnyamathanha and Archaeological Views on Warratyi Rock Shelter (The Rock), a 50,000-Year-Old Site in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia
This paper examines the perspectives of Adnyamathanha people and archaeologists regarding the Warratyi rock shelter, also known as “The Rock,” an archaeological site in South Australia’s Flinders Ranges, dated to approximately 49,000 years BP (Hamm et al. 2016). While the scientific significance of such sites is often emphasized, the views and knowledge of the communities who are the traditional custodians of these lands are rarely discussed. Thi…
Establishing Consensus on the Breakthrough Pain Assessment Questionnaire-Self Report (BTPAQ-SR) for Typically Developing Children and Young People (8–25 yrs) with Life-Limiting and Life-Threatening Co…
The findings from this study support the clinical need for the BTPAQ-SR, confirm its conceptual foundation, and justify its continued development. Next steps include cognitive interviews with children and young people and introduction to clinical care to assess the psychometric properties of the BTPAQ-SR, including its clinical utility, reliability, and validity
Definition and Assessment of Paediatric Breakthrough Pain
Infants, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions often experience acute, transient pain episodes known as breakthrough pain. There is currently no established way to assess breakthrough pain in paediatric palliative care. Anecdotal evidence suggests that it is frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated, resulting in reduced quality of life. The development of a standardised paediatric breakthrough pain assessme…
PrEP use and unmet PrEP-need among men who have sex with men in London prior to the implementation of a national PrEP programme, a cross-sectional study from June to August 2019
Among MSM in London, PrEP use is high but there is indication of unmet PrEP-need in men of younger age and lower levels of post-16 education. National programme monitoring and evaluation will require continued community monitoring to guide interventions ensuring equitable PrEP access and uptake in those who could most benefit from PrEP
Neuropsychological Correlates of Changes in Driving Behavior Among Clinically Healthy Older Adults
Attentional control is a key moderator of change over time in driving space but not driving performance in older adults. We speculate on mechanisms that may relate attentional control ability to modifications of driving behaviors
Recreational drug use and use of drugs associated with chemsex among HIV-negative and HIV-positive heterosexual men and women attending sexual health and HIV clinics in England
Providers need to be aware of cannabis and cocaine use and its potential link with sexual risk behavior and symptoms of depression and anxiety among heterosexual men and women attending sexual health and HIV clinics
Salivary Testosterone and Sexual Function and Behavior in Men and Women
Using data from the third British National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal-3) we examined associations between salivary testosterone (Sal-T) and sexual function and behavior. Single morning saliva samples were self-collected from a subsample of participants aged 18-74 years and analyzed using mass spectrometry. 1,599 men and 2,123 women were included in the analysis (40.6% of those invited to provide a sample). We adjusted for c…
A Remembrance of Dianne Cordic
Dianne Cordic passed away in fall, 2019, peacefully and with grace. When I spoke at the memorial for Edward Edinger a number of years ago, I described him as “blessed with fire” . . . fire and pass
Latent class analysis of sexual health markers among men and women participating in a British probability sample survey
A greater prevalence and diversity of poor sexual health appears to exist among women than men in Britain, with more consistent effects on women's subjective sexual well-being. Shared health and lifestyle characteristics of higher-risk groups suggest widespread benefits of upstream interventions. Several groups could benefit from tailored interventions: men and women who underestimate their STI/HIV risk exposure, women distressed by low interest …
An Examination of the Lethality Assessment Program (LAP)
The Lethality Assessment Program (LAP) aims to empower law enforcement officers to screen victims of domestic violence for potential lethality and connect them to service providers. This research surveyed domestic violence victims seeking legal services ( n = 141) to assess whether LAP receipt is associated with greater rates of self-protective measures, service use, or empowerment, and to examine victims' perspectives on the LAP process. Finding…
Making the Case for Addressing Health Disparities
Purpose: The creation of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Office of Minority Health placed increased emphasis on federal efforts to address health disparities. Although the literature establishes a social justice case for addressing health disparities, there is limited evidence of this case being sufficient for businesses to invest in such initiatives. The purpose of this study was to better understand the “business case” behind an or…
The health and well-being of men who have sex with men (MSM) in Britain
MSM are disproportionately affected by a broad range of harmful health behaviours and poor health outcomes. Although often observed for a minority of MSM, many health inequalities were seen in combination such that policies and practices aimed at improving the health and well-being of MSM require a holistic approach, regardless of clinical specialty
Non-Disclosure of HIV Status and Associations with Psychological Factors, ART Non-Adherence, and Viral Load Non-Suppression Among People Living with HIV in the UK
Disclosure of HIV status to family, friends, and a stable partner may be linked to improved health outcomes for people living with HIV. This study assessed whether non-disclosure is associated with psychological symptoms, non-adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), and viral load (VL) non-suppression. A total of 3258 HIV-diagnosed individuals in the UK completed the confidential ASTRA study questionnaire (2011-2012). Participants reported whet…
Is “Sexual Competence” at First Heterosexual Intercourse Associated With Subsequent Sexual Health Status
The timing of first sexual intercourse is often defined in terms of chronological age, with particular focus on "early" first sex. Arguments can be made for a more nuanced concept of readiness and appropriateness of timing of first intercourse. Using data from the third National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal-3), conducted in 2010-2012, this study examined whether a context-based measure of first intercourse-termed sexual compe…
Gerard Manley Hopkins and Tractarian Poetry
Gerard Manley Hopkins and Tractarian Poetry for the first time locates Hopkins and his work within the vital aesthetic and religious cultures of his youth. It introduces some of the most powerful cultural influences on his poetry as well as some of the most influential poets, from the well-known fellow convert John Henry Newman to the almost forgotten historian and poet Richard Dixon. From within the context of Hopkins' developing catholic sensib…
Barriers to access to care reported by women living with HIV across 27 countries
Increased access to successful antiretroviral therapy (ART) is necessary in order to achieve an AIDS-free generation. Importantly, slightly over half of the people living with HIV are women. Small studies have described many barriers to accessing treatment and care among women living with HIV. This cross-sectional, non-interventional, epidemiological study assessed the prevalence of barriers to accessing care for women living with HIV across 27 c…
Examining the potential public health benefit of offering STI testing to men in amateur football clubs
Relative to young men in the general population, football club members who completed the SPORTSMART survey reported greater sexual risk behaviour but similar STI/HIV risk perception and STI testing history. Offering STI testing in amateur football clubs may therefore widen access to STI testing and health promotion messages for men at higher STI risk, which, given the minority currently testing and the popularity of football in England, should yi…
The Natsal-SF Measure of Sexual Function
The Natsal-SF is a psychometrically validated measure of sexual function for use in community health surveys, derived from 17 questions reflecting three components of sexual function. Scoring requires knowledge of complex statistical modeling and, given the methodological complexities, we assessed the validity of two simplified scoring methods calculated using the factor loadings produced when originally modeling the Natsal-SF items. Method 1 use…
Estimating the Prevalence of Sexual Function Problems
Establishing the clinical significance of symptoms of sexual dysfunction is challenging. To address this, the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) introduced two new morbidity criteria (duration and symptom severity) to the existing criteria of distress. This study sought to establish the impact of these three criteria on the population prevalence of sexual function problems. The data come from a nati…
Impact on life expectancy of HIV-1 positive individuals of CD4+ cell count and viral load response to antiretroviral therapy
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to estimate life expectancies of HIV-positive patients conditional on response to antiretroviral therapy (ART). METHODS: Patients aged more than 20 years who started ART during 2000-2010 (excluding IDU) in HIV clinics contributing to the UK CHIC Study were followed for mortality until 2012. We determined the latest CD4 cell count and viral load before ART and in each of years 1-5 of ART. For each duration…
Recreational drug use, polydrug use, and sexual behaviour in HIV-diagnosed men who have sex with men in the UK
BACKGROUND: Recreational drug use in men who have sex with men (MSM) is of concern because it might be linked to the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Evidence about drug use in HIV-diagnosed MSM in the UK is limited by representativeness of the study populations. We describe patterns of drug use and associations with sexual behaviours in HIV-diagnosed MSM in the UK. METHODS: We used data from the cross-sectional ASTR…

What factors are associated with patient self-reported health status among HIV outpatients? A multi-centre UK study of biomedical and psychosocial factors
Patient self-reported outcomes are increasingly important in measuring disease, treatment and care outcomes. It is unclear what constitutes well-being using a combined biomedical and psychosocial approach for patients with antiretroviral therapy (ART) access. This study aimed to determine the variance within the visual analogue scale (VAS) measure of health status using the existing five dimensions of the EuroQOL-5D, to identify which domains hav…
OP74 Measuring Sexual Behaviour Comes of Age
Background The Health Survey for England (HSE) is a general health survey administered annually to a probability sample of people living in England. In 2010, the HSE included, for the first time, questions about sexual health, which previously were considered too sensitive for a general health survey. This paper compares the reporting of sexual behaviours by people aged 16–44 in HSE–2010 with data collected by the second British National Survey o…

Private sexual behavior, public opinion, and public health policy related to sexually transmitted diseases
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to characterize sexual behavior and opinions about sex in the United States and Britain; implications are discussed for effective public health policy regarding sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the United States. METHODS: Large-scale national probability surveys conducted in the 2 countries detailed sexual behavior, opinions, and the prevalence of STDs. RESULTS: In comparison with that of Britain, …
Scripting sexual function
The biomedical model assumes universal agreement in what it means to have a functioning sex life. In reality there is significant variation in the criteria that individuals employ in assessing their sex lives. We use a scripting approach to understand the meaning of sexual function from a lay perspective. Based on the accounts of 32 individuals representing a range of sexual function experience, we identified three scripts employed by participant…

When Shared Decision Making Works
Shared decision making (SDM) has been touted as a promising avenue to school improvement. This study traced the implementation of an SDM project in a large, public, secondary school during the course of 3 years. Questions guiding the interpretation of data focused on factors that supported and constrained SDM and on its effect on the school’s culture. The factors that enhanced the SDM process were the confidence stakeholders had in themselves and…

From Psychotic to Psychedelic
This paper examines the influence, musical characteristics, and lyrical themes of garage psych songs recorded between 1965 and 1967. Through an examination of key garage psych songs, we determine that the musical and technological innovations of the late garage era resulted in the production of two types of psychedelic garage songs. These two types of song differ in how they frame the psychedelic experience for their listeners
Effect of social exclusion on the risk of teenage pregnancy
Study objective: The UK government argues that “social exclusion” increases risk of teenage pregnancy and that educational factors may be dimensions of such exclusion. The evidence cited by the government is limited to reporting that socioeconomic disadvantage and educational attainment influence risk. Evidence regarding young people’s attitude to school is not cited, and there is a lack of research concerning the UK. This paper develops hypothes…

Background: Much of the UK government’s 1999 report on teenage pregnancy was by necessity based on rather old or non-longitudinal research. Aim: To examine the associations between risk factors identified in the report and pregnancy at or before age 16 years among young women and partners of young men using the more recent data. Results: Socioeconomic disadvantage, being born to a teenage mother, expectation of being a teenage parent, low educati…
Integrating Process with Outcome Data in a Randomized Controlled Trial of Sex Education
Integration of process with outcome evaluations has been recommended as a way of addressing some of the criticisms of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) for evaluating social interventions. This is the second of two articles (the first was published in issue 10(4) of this journal) discussing the design, implementation and analysis of a process evaluation as an integral part of the RIPPLE (Randomized Intervention of Pupil Peer-Led sex Education) …
Enabling School-University Collaborative Research
An anticipated outcome of the Professional Development School concept is that educators will question accepted notions of teaching and learning. Schools and universities collaboratively engage in innovation through research and reflection about teaching and learning in field settings. However, differences in the cultures and images of schools and universities create barriers to collaborative inquiry. In this study, the AA. focus on events and act…

Why the(y) wait? Key informant understandings of factors contributing to late presentation and poor utilization of HIV health and social care services by African migrants in Britain
The majority of new HIV diagnoses in the UK occur in people with heterosexually acquired HIV infection, the majority of whom are migrant Africans. In the UK HIV positive Africans access HIV services at a later stage of disease than non-Africans (Burns et al., 2001 Burns, F.M., Fakoya, A.O., Copas, A.J. and French, P.D. 2001. Africans in London continue to present with advanced HIV disease in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy. AIDS, …
How can we facilitate reliable reporting in surveys of sexual behaviour? Evidence from qualitative research
Methodological studies examining the veracity of sexual behaviour reports frequently focus on the source of unreliable, inaccurate or inconsistent responses. This paper, instead, explores the means by which respondents might be assisted in providing an accurate account of their sexual experience. We present findings from a survey development study (second Great Britain National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles, development phase), which …
Sources of Writing Self-Efficacy Beliefs of Elementary, Middle, and High School Students
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of Albert Bandura’s four hypothesized sources of self-efficacy on students’ writing self-efficacy beliefs (N = 1256) and to explore how these sources differ as a function of gender and academic level (elementary, middle, high). Consistent with the tenets of self-efficacy theory, each of the sources significantly correlated with writing self-efficacy and with each other

Adherence to antiretroviral treatment in patients with HIV in the UK
Adherence to HIV treatment regimes is a core element to viral suppression. Yet measurement of adherence is complex. Although adherence levels are good predictors of outcome, they do not always provide full explanations of observed variations in responses. This study was set up to examine the complexity of adherence measurement and to examine rates of adherence in the presence of complex measurement. A total of 502 consecutive attenders at HIV cli…
Self-reported non-adherence to ART and virological outcome in a multiclinic UK study
Adherence is of fundamental importance to ART success. We examined the association of self-reported non-adherence with demographic factors, health and behaviour issues, and virological outcome, in a multi-clinic study. Seven hundred and seventy-eight HIV patients in five clinics in London and Brighton completed a questionnaire on adherence and HIV/health issues at baseline in 2005/6. For 486 subjects taking ART, non-adherence in the past week was…
Steven Van Zandt and the Garage Rock Revival
In this essay, I examine the contribution of Steven Van Zandt to the most recent wave of garage rock revival. Van Zandt is a deejay and concert promoter whose radio program, The Underground Garage, mixes multiple generations of rock music in an attempt to cultivate an intergenerational audience. I look at Van Zandt's radio program, speeches, and interviews to identify how he envisions rock and roll and how he unifies multiple generations of rock …
