Only my family can help
In the United Kingdom, people living with dementia admitted to National Health Service (NHS) psychiatric/mental health inpatient dementia assessment wards (dementia assessment wards) are nearly always compulsorily detained under a section of the Mental Health Act 1983 owing to the risk and complexity of the presenting condition. As such, dementia assessment wards admit some of the most vulnerable patients in society, yet these environments of car…
Views and experiences of opioid access amongst palliative care providers and public representatives in a low-resource setting
Opioids (e.g. morphine) are affordable, effective interventions for cancer-related pain. However, equity of access to this key medication remains a global challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. We aimed to explore views of palliative care providers and public-representatives about opioid analgesia access in two States in India. We conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews. Transcribed audio-recordings we…
Re-thinking and re-positioning ‘being in the moment’ within a continuum of moments
This article draws upon six social research studies completed by members of the Dementia and Ageing Research Team at The University of Manchester and their associated networks over an eight-year period (2011–2019) with the aim of constructing a definition of ‘being in the moment’ and situating it within a continuum of moments that could be used to contextualise and frame the lived experience of dementia. Using the approach formulated by Pound et …

Visions of the public and private in public health genomics
Bio-banks have been heralded as a new frontier of bio-molecular research potentially transforming public health by providing improved techniques for predicting illnesses, as well as potentially allowing more targeted health interventions. The teams of health professionals and others that build these technical and informational resources routinely consider ethical, legal and social issues and thereby co-produce the boundaries of a number of cultur…
Providing Culturally Specific Substance Abuse Services in Refugee and Immigrant Communities
Several agencies interested in serving Cambodian immigrants established a substance abuse treatment demonstration project which included culturally specific elements such as co-therapy done by a bilingual, bicultural Cambodian worker and a mainstream American social worker; formation of an advisory committee with Cambodian members; home visiting and family involvement; emphasis on traditional cultural values as motivators; integration of Buddhist…
Can a simple measure of vigorous physical activity predict future mortality? Results from the OXCHECK study
Background: As epidemiological studies have become more complex, demands for short, easily administered measures of risk factors have increased. This study investigates whether such a measure of physical activity is associated with the risk of death from all causes and death from specific causes. Methods: A prospective follow-up study of 11 090 men and women, aged 35–64 years, recruited from five UK general practices who responded to a postal que…

Exploring risk perception and behaviour of homeless injecting drug users diagnosed with hepatitis C
Injecting drug users (IDUs) are at the greatest risk of hepatitis C infection by using any item of injecting equipment that has come into contact with contaminated blood. Alongside this, homeless IDUs have been identified as being at increased risk of harm in their illicit drug taking behaviour. This study interviewed 17 hepatitis C positive homeless IDUs about their injecting practices. In-depth interviews explored the impact of a positive hepat…
Being deaf and being other things
Young South Asian deaf people and their families
This paper explores how various and competing identity claims are negotiated by young deaf people and their families. Our findings, based on group and individual interviews with young South Asian deaf people and individual interviews with their families, illustrate the complex realities of identity negotiation and how this process occurs against the backdrop of ethnicity, religion, gender, racism and deafness. More generally, the structures again…
Supporting Asian Deaf Young People and their Families
This paper discusses how Asian deaf young people and their families engage with welfare provision. Our findings, based on group and individual interviews with young deaf people and individual interviews with their parents, explore the assumptions underlying current provision and how they influence the options available to young people and their families. The paper suggests that the welfare state exerts a form of social control where professional …
Dietary questions as determinants of mortality
Objective: To determine whether responses to simple dietary questions are associated with specific causes of death. Design: Self-reported frequency intakes of various classes of foods and data on confounding factors were collected at the baseline survey. Death notifications up to 31 December 1997 were ascertained from the Office for National Statistics. Relative risk (RR) of death and 95% confidence intervals (CI) associated with baseline dietary…
Researching 'hard-to-reach' groups
This paper highlights issues raised during research projects designed to find out about the home and school numeracy experience of Somali children in the UK. In order to research home practices, it was essential to appoint research associates from the Somali community. These colleagues then facilitated contact with homes and interviews with parents. In this paper we consider how the various requirements for the research associate make it difficul…
Lack of willpower or lack of wherewithal? "Internal" and "external" barriers to changing diet and exercise in a three year follow-up of participants in a health check
Exploring the Divide
Confidence and Mathematics
In the many studies undertaken on pupils' attitudes to mathematics, confidence has been recognised as a contributing factor to gender differences in participation. A number of issues have been identified which affect confidence. In this paper we discuss the 'confidence factor' and the part it plays in pupils' mathematics learning. We then outline three intervention strategies which may encourage girls to develop confidence, drawing on our own exp…

Factors affecting response to an invitation to attend for a health check
OBJECTIVE--To describe the characteristics of general practice patients who fail to respond to an invitation to attend for a health check, in relation to demographic variables, risk factor status, health status, and attitudes to behaviour modification. DESIGN--Postal questionnaire before invitation to attend a health check and subsequent record of attendance. SETTING--Five urban general practices in Bedfordshire, UK. SUBJECTS--A total of 2678 pat…
Cultural Differences
This article is based on several years of research done by the two authors, one of whom is Deaf and the other hearing. The paper discusses research done within the Deaf community using sign language. This is an estimated 50,000 people–the same number as those whose first language is Welsh. The Deaf community sees itself as a linguistic and cultural minority and as such is quite distinct from people with an acquired hearing loss, or those who are …
