Mediation analysis investigating the mechanisms of two school-based smoking prevention interventions in adolescents from Northern Ireland and Bogotá
Background Reviews have highlighted a lack of evidence on how successful intervention strategies for adolescent smoking prevention can be effectively adapted for low-middle income countries (LMICs). The MECHANISMS study compared behavioral mechanisms between two school-based smoking prevention programs for adolescents in Northern Ireland (NI; a high-income setting) and Bogotá, Colombia (middle-income). ASSIST works via peer education and diffusio…

Individual, social and area level factors associated with older people's walking
Past engagement in physical activity and walking for pleasure are strong predictors of walking behaviour in older people, underscoring the importance of implementing and sustaining walking interventions across the lifespan to ensure continued engagement in later years and the associated health benefits. However, poor health significantly impedes walking in this demographic, emphasising the need for interventions that offer both physical assistanc…
Selection homophily and peer influence for adolescents’ smoking and vaping norms and outcomes in high and middle-income settings
The MECHANISMS study investigates how social norms for adolescent smoking and vaping are transmitted through school friendship networks, and is the first study to use behavioral economics methodology to assess smoking-related social norms. Here, we investigate the effects of selection homophily (the tendency to form friendships with similar peers) and peer influence (a social process whereby an individual’s behavior or attitudes are affected by p…
A peer-led, school-based social network intervention for young people in the UK, promoting sexual health via social media and conversations with friends
ISRCTN97369178
Mechanisms Study
This proof of concept study harnesses novel transdisciplinary insights to contrast two school-based smoking prevention interventions among adolescents in the UK and Colombia. We compare schools in these locations because smoking rates and norms are different, in order to better understand social norms based mechanisms of action related to smoking. We aim to: 1) improve the measurement of social norms for smoking behaviors in adolescents and revea…
Mental health disorders and adolescent peer relationships
Implementation of a peer-led school based smoking prevention programme
ASSIST in Scotland was delivered with a high degree of fidelity to the licensed programme and was acceptable from the perspective of schools, students and trainers. Targeting ASSIST in deprived areas with higher youth smoking prevalence or in other countries where youth smoking rates are rising or higher than in Scotland may be particularly relevant for the future delivery

When and how do ‘effective’ interventions need to be adapted and/or re-evaluated in new contexts? The need for guidance
First paragraph: Rational models of evidence-informed policy have historically centred on an assumption that it is possible to identify "effective" health interventions, before recommending wider implementation. However, for population health interventions (which we define as inclusive of public health and health services), transferability to new contexts is often uncertain [1]. Some interventions have demonstrated limited effectiveness, or even …

The need for a complex systems model of evidence for public health
Process evaluation of an environmental health risk audit and action plan intervention to reduce alcohol related violence in licensed premises
The study suggests that a collaborative approach to the development and diffusion of interventions is associated with high levels of organisational adoption, implementation and reach. However, the lack of enforcement visits represents implementation failure for a key mechanism of action that is likely to influence intervention effectiveness. To be effective, any future intervention may require a longer implementation period to develop EHP confide…
A rank based social norms model of how people judge their levels of drunkenness whilst intoxicated
Whilst intoxicated and in drinking environments, people base judgements regarding their drinking on how their level of intoxication ranks relative to that of others of the same gender around them, not on their actual levels of intoxication. Thus, when in the company of others who are intoxicated, drinkers were found to be more likely to underestimate their own level of drinking, drunkenness and associated risks. The implications of these results,…
Breakfast
Association between breakfast consumption and educational outcomes in 9–11-year-old children
Objective Breakfast consumption has been consistently associated with health outcomes and cognitive functioning in schoolchildren. Evidence of direct links with educational outcomes remains equivocal. We aimed to examine the link between breakfast consumption in 9–11-year-old children and educational outcomes obtained 6–18 months later. Design Data on individual-level free school meal entitlement and educational outcomes (Statutory Assessment Tes…

E-cigarette use and intentions to smoke among 10-11-year-old never-smokers in Wales
E-cigarettes represent a new form of childhood experimentation with nicotine. Findings are consistent with a hypothesis that children use e-cigarettes to imitate parental and peer smoking behaviours, and that e-cigarette use is associated with weaker antismoking intentions
Impacts of the Primary School Free Breakfast Initiative on socio-economic inequalities in breakfast consumption among 9–11-year-old schoolchildren in Wales
Objectives Universal interventions may widen or narrow inequalities if disproportionately effective among higher or lower socio-economic groups. The present paper examines impacts of the Primary School Free Breakfast Initiative in Wales on inequalities in children's dietary behaviours and cognitive functioning. Design Cluster-randomised controlled trial. Responses were linked to free school meal (FSM) entitlement via the Secure Anonymised Informa…
Process evaluation in complex public health intervention studies
Objective Infections with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) such as Gram-negative bacteria have high morbidity and mortality with limited treatment options. Colistin, an antibiotic active against MDRO, was rarely used due to frequent adverse effects, but its use has now been recommended among adults. In this study, we determined the efficacy of colistin for the treatment of sepsis in neonates. Design/setting/patients/outcomes We conducted a r…
Methodological development of an exploratory randomised controlled trial of an early years' nutrition intervention
Good nutrition in the early years of life is vitally important for a child's development, growth and health. Children's diets in the United Kingdom are known to be poor, particularly among socially disadvantaged groups, and there is a need for timely and appropriate interventions that support parents to improve the diets of young children. The Medical Research Council has highlighted the importance of conducting developmental and exploratory rese…

A socio-ecological perspective on behavioural interventions to influence food choice in schools
Objective An increasing focus on legislation, policy and guidance on the nutritional content of school food has in part been in response to the limited impact of more behavioural or educational approaches. However, there is a risk that a sole focus on policy-level action may lead to neglect of the important contribution that more behavioural approaches can make as components of effective, coordinated, multilevel action to improve the dietary inta…

Modelling Store Choice
Recent structural changes in the UK grocery retailing sector have led to a shift in patterns of consumer shopping behaviour that increasingly can only be properly understood and modelled through the division of consumers into two groups: those who shop at superstores and those who do not. A disaggregated approach to the analysis of store choice is therefore necessary. In a survey undertaken in Cardiff, South Glamorgan, stated preference data were…
On the feasibility of conducting randomised trials in education
This article reports on the conduct and results of a randomised controlled trial to test the effectiveness of a teacher‐led intervention to improve teenagers' knowledge of emergency contraception. The trial was successfully conducted in 24 mixed‐sex state secondary schools in Avon, South‐west England. The intervention was popular with both teachers and pupils, and significantly improved pupils' knowledge of emergency contraception. The article us…

Public health evaluation
Properly designed and conducted randomised controlled trials (RCTs) represent the most internally valid means of estimating the effectiveness of complex interventions.1 However, RCTs are often dismissed as being unsuitable for the evaluation of public health interventions, in a debate often dominated by arguments based on misunderstandings, misrepresentations and ideological objections. Macintyre2 counters many of these arguments and argues that …

School smoking policies and smoking prevalence among adolescents
This study demonstrates an association between policy strength, policy enforcement, and the prevalence of smoking among pupils, after having adjusted for pupil level characteristics. These findings suggest that the wider introduction of comprehensive school smoking policies may help reduce teenage smoking
