Exploring healthcare professionals’ views of the acceptability of delivering interventions to promote healthy infant feeding practices within primary care
Objective: Early-life nutrition plays a key role in establishing healthy lifestyles and preventing chronic disease. This study aimed to (1) explore healthcare professionals’ (HCP) opinions on the acceptability of and factors influencing the delivery of interventions to promote healthy infant feeding behaviours within primary care and (2) identify proposed barriers/enablers to delivering such interventions during vaccination visits, to inform the …
What do patients value as incentives for participation in clinical trials? A pilot discrete choice experiment
Incentivising has shown to improve participation in clinical trials. However, ethical concerns suggest that incentives may be coercive, obscure trial risks and encourage individuals to enrol in clinical trials for the wrong reasons. The aim of our study was to develop and pilot a discrete choice experiment (DCE) to explore and identify preferences for incentives. A DCE was designed by including following attributes (and levels) of incentives: val…
It just wasn’t going to be heard’
BACKGROUND: Guidelines recommend involving intervention users in the intervention development process. However, there is limited guidance on how to involve users in a meaningful and effective way. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this Study within a trial was to compare participants' experiences of taking part in one of three types of consensus meetings-people with diabetes-only, combined people with diabetes and health-care professionals (HCPs) or HCP-only…
Dietary behaviours and weight management
Maternal obesity is associated with increased risk of gestational diabetes and other complications. Although antenatal interventions to help prevent these complications are ongoing, an understanding of overweight and obese pregnant women's opinions and attitudes is lacking. Therefore, this study aims to explore these women's experiences and perceptions of dietary behaviours and weight management during pregnancy. Secondary analysis of qualitative…
The Association Between Preeclampsia and Childhood Development and Behavioural Outcomes
Solid advice
The initiation of complementary feeding (CF; introducing infants to food/drink other than milk) is recommended close to 6 months and not before 4 months of age. Low socio-economic status (SES) is a determinant of nonadherence to CF recommendations, but there is an evidence gap around reasons for nonadherence among these parents. This study investigated knowledge, attitudes, and practices of disadvantaged families (in terms of SES and social suppo…

The Patient Held Active Record of Medication Status (PHARMS) Feasibility Study
Introduction: Medication errors are a major source of preventable morbidity, mortality and cost. Many errors occur during transitional care, in particular at the primary-secondary care interface at the time of hospital admission and discharge. Novel interventions are required to facilitate integrated care and accurate transfer of medication information at this interface. With existing evidence supporting the use of information technology (IT) and…
Implementing new ways of working to reduce the risk of falls among older people
Introduction: Numerous interventions have been shown to effectively reduce the rate and risk of falling among older people. In Ireland, our national falls strategy recommends the use of evidence-based interventions that are equitable and sustainable. However, there are practical, cultural, and professional challenges to implementing service changes that require input from multiple professionals across settings. Our aim is to investigate the accep…

Levels and sociodemographic correlates of accelerometer-based physical activity in Irish children
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to explore levels and sociodemographic correlates of physical activity (PA) over 1 week using accelerometer data. METHODS: Accelerometer data was collected over 1 week from 1075 8-11-year-old children in the cross-sectional Cork Children's Lifestyle Study. Threshold values were used to categorise activity intensity as sedentary, light, moderate or vigorous. Questionnaires collected data on demographic factors…
Global Disparities of Hypertension Prevalence and Control
BACKGROUND: Hypertension is the leading preventable cause of premature death worldwide. We examined global disparities of hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control in 2010 and compared secular changes from 2000 to 2010. METHODS: We searched MEDLINE from 1995 through 2014 and supplemented with manual searches of retrieved article references. We included 135 population-based studies of 968 419 adults from 90 countries. Sex- and age…
Dietary quality in children and the role of the local food environment
Diet is a modifiable contributor to many chronic diseases including childhood obesity. The local food environment may influence children's diet but this area of research is understudied. This study explores if distance to and the number of supermarkets and convenience stores in the local area around households are associated with dietary quality in nine year olds whilst controlling for household level socio-economic factors. This is a secondary a…
The influence of partial public reimbursement on vaccination uptake in the older population
Having a medical card increased the likelihood of being vaccinated, independent of age and need. The mismatch between vaccination guidelines and reimbursement policy is creating unequal access to recommended services among high risk groups

Relationships Among Teacher Communication Style, Trait and State Communication Apprehension and Teacher Effectiveness
The empirical model tested in this study examined the effects of teacher communication style (TCS) on students' affect and behavioral commitment in college classes. Additionally, the model posited a mediational function for teachers' and students' trait and state communication apprehension for perceptions of teacher style and teacher effectiveness. Multiple regression and commonality analyses indicated that only student perceptions of all three d…

Global burden of hypertension
The cumulative effect of core lifestyle behaviours on the prevalence of hypertension and dyslipidemia
Our findings of a strong inverse association between low risk behaviours and two of the traditional risk factors for CVD highlight the importance of 'the causes of the causes' and the potential for behaviour modification in CVD prevention at a population level
PS11 Does Contact with a Podiatrist Prevent The Occurrence of a Lower Extremity Amputation in people with Diabetes? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Background Diabetes is associated with a significant risk of LEA (lower extremity amputation). LEA rates vary between communities, 46–9,600 per 10 5 people with diabetes, for many reasons. The effects of clinical and socio-demographic risk factors on the occurrence of a LEA have been well documented in people with diabetes. However, the effect of patient contact with a podiatrist on the prevention of LEA in people with diabetes is less well explo…
OP45 Caesarean Section and Subsequent Fetal Death
Background Spontaneous miscarriage (the death of a fetus before 20 weeks of pregnancy), occurs in 10–15% of recognised pregnancies. Stillbirth (the death of a fetus after 24 weeks of pregnancy), occurs in approximately one in every 200 deliveries. The cause of miscarriage and stillbirth is frequently unknown. However, there is some evidence to suggest that previous Caesarean delivery may be a risk factor. Objective: to compare the risk of fetal d…
OP28 Diet Quality and Blood Pressure in Middle-Aged Men and Women
Background Findings from both observational and experimental studies (including the DASH Trial -Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) are consistent with a significant, causal role for dietary salt intake in the distribution of blood pressure (BP) in populations. The DASH diet quality score, based on the intervention arm in the DASH-trial, has emerged as a potentially useful measure of diet quality in adult populations. We have studied associa…
PS12 Diabetes and Pre-Diabetes Prevalence Rates in the Survey of Lifestyles, Attitude and Nutrition (Slan) in the Republic of Ireland
Background To date estimates of the prevalence of diabetes in Ireland have been based on models of UK data. Since 2009 the International Expert Committee has recommended that the diagnosis of diabetes and pre-diabetes can be made on the basis of HbA1c levels. The objectives of this study are to estimate the prevalence of diabetes and pre-diabetes in a nationally representative sample of adults living in private households in Ireland and to assess…
PP51 Association between Overweight/Obesity and Health Care Utilisation Among Older Adults
Background Given the ageing population and rising prevalence of obesity, the aim was to examine the association between body mass index (BMI) and health care utilisation in older Irish adults. Methods Baseline cross-sectional data from the Irish Longitudinal Study of Ageing (TILDA) were analysed. A clustered sample of addresses was chosen from all residential addresses in the Republic of Ireland. All household residents aged 50 or over and their …
PP26 Caesarean Delivery and Subsequent Birth Interval, Ectopic Pregnancy, Miscarriage or Stillbirth-a Danish Register-based Cohort Study
Background Despite high caesarean delivery rates worldwide, limited data are available on the effect of a prior caesarean delivery on subsequent fertility. Aim To estimate the time to next birth and the risk of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy and stillbirth in women with a prior caesarean delivery compared to women with a prior vaginal delivery. Methods Using Danish registry data we identified a cohort of women giving birth between 1982 and 2010 (…
PP16 The Contribution of Changes in Diet and other Risk Factors to recent Favourable Trends in Blood Pressure in Middle-Aged Irish Adults
Background Recent declines in cardiovascular mortality in Ireland and other developed countries are partially attributable to favourable secular trends in blood pressure (BP). However the underlying causes of these BP trends are not well defined. In particular, the contribution of changes in the dietary and other lifestyle determinants of population BP levels is unclear. We examined changes in distribution and determinants of systolic blood press…
