Irish Travellers' Cancer Awareness and Engagement With Prevention, Screening and Early Diagnosis
Health Promotion International
From the first issue in May 1986, Health Promotion International (HPI) (Health Promotion until 1990) pursued an agenda of advocacy and action for healthy public policy and health equity. At the time of the journal’s launch, public health had become oriented toward medicalized and behavioural approaches, with individualized health education the dominant intervention. In HPI’s first editorial, then Director General of the World Health Organization …
A co-designed feasibility study to understand the impact of an emergency homelessness housing intervention in Ireland
Homelessness is a global challenge that impacts many population groups, including adults, families, and children. People become homeless for various reasons, and international data underestimates the prevalence of homelessness. The impact of homelessness on health and wellbeing is well described, including reduced life expectancy and significant morbidity. A lack of housing stock, increased waiting lists, and provision of temporary and emergency …
Syndemic lives of women who smoke and experience homelessness
Tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable deaths worldwide. Despite efforts by many countries to reduce the impact of tobacco products and lower smoking rates, smoking prevalence is higher among people experiencing homelessness. The reasons are complex and go beyond individual choices, including limited awareness about quitting, restricted access to services, and previous negative experiences. This study is a secondary data analysis of…

Limited access of older people to primary health care is a pressing issue in resource-constrained countries, particularly in Lebanon, amid the ongoing crisis. The co-design research approach is instrumental in addressing this problem, as it draws on people’s experiences to generate practical and sustainable solutions. Using the design thinking framework, this co-design study involved 13 older people, family members, and primary healthcare service…

The Experience of Accessing Primary Healthcare Centres in a Lebanese Community
INTRODUCTION: Older people's experiences with access to primary healthcare are overlooked in LMICs, leading to inequitable access and limited delivery of person-centred care. In Lebanon, the economic crisis has increased older people's vulnerabilities and reliance on services provided through primary healthcare centres (PHCCs). This study explores (1) factors shaping decisions of using PHCCs; (2) experiences of older people accessing PHCCs from t…
Co creating an Inclusion Health Special Interest Group (SIG) within the International Foundation for Integrated Care
Background: In 2023 a SIG was developed within the International Foundation for Integrated Care (IFIC) to enable collaboration on the topic of Inclusion Health. The vision for the SIG was to contribute to knowledge building and reducing health inequality experienced by people who are marginalised and report social exclusion. The mission for the group was to collaborate and co-develop approaches to design, implement and evaluate integrated care in…
Supporting Homelessness
Background: Homelessness is a global challenge impacting many population groups including adults, families and children with prevalence estimates around 1%. In Ireland, the prevalence of homelessness increases with over 13,000 people reported officially as homeless. Data on homelessness vastly underestimates the extent of the issue due to a lack of an internationally agreed definition. People become homeless due to a variety of reasons including …
A co-designed evaluation study to identify Breastfeeding Knowledge of General Practitioners’ and Practice Nurses’
The World Health Organization and American Academy of Paediatrics recommend exclusive breastfeeding until 6 months of age, with continued breastfeeding along with complementary solid foods for up to 2 years and beyond. Despite the well-established importance of breastfeeding, Irish rates remain the lowest in Europe. Healthcare professionals’ breastfeeding knowledge and skills have a positive impact on increasing breastfeeding rates. There is limi…
Getting to Tobacco 21
Thompson et al. (2018) remind us that the World Health Organization Ottawa Charter, published almost four decades ago, was the blueprint for health promotors and policymakers to build policies and create supportive environments to promote the health and well-being of communities and societies (World Health Organization, 1986). The relevance of this strategy continues in the 21st century if we are to achieve the goal of the tobacco endgame—a tobac…
Integrating Irish health care
Introduction: Over 1 billion (15%) of the world’s population are estimated to experience some form of disability, of whom up to 190 million people live with significant difficulties in functioning, often requiring health care services. Despite a myriad of policies and research, disabled people globally continue to be denied their human rights and face enduring barriers to full participation in society. The United Nations Convention on the Rights …
Has the National Fall in Smoking Rates in Ireland Been Replicated in Cancer Patients? A 5-Year Report
Smoking among cancer patients leads to poorer outcomes, yet many patients continue smoking. As part of a feasibility study of smoking cessation for cancer patients in Ireland, smoking rates were reviewed. Hospital Inpatient Enquiry (HIPE) data on the smoking status of discharges with a cancer diagnosis (overall, breast, lung, cervical and head and neck cancer) were used (2014-2018). During 2014-2017, current smoking increased for overall (10.5-11…
What are the Care Needs of Families Experiencing Cardiac Arrest Care? A Survivor and Family-Performed Systematic Review and Qualitative Meta-Synthesis Protocol

The objective of this systematic review will be to identify, appraise, and meta-synthesize qualitative evidence regarding family care-needs when experiencing cardiac arrest. Methods: This systematic review of qualitative studies and meta-synthesis will be conducted by multidisciplinary researc…

Smoking Prevalence and Secondhand Smoke Exposure during Pregnancy and Postpartum—Establishing Risks to Health and Human Rights before Developing a Tailored Programme for Smoking Cessation
Both smoking during pregnancy and secondhand smoke exposure are associated with reduced health outcomes. However, limited consistent evidence exists of risks of secondhand smoke exposure in pregnancy. Currently, inadequate smoking cessation services exist in Irish maternity hospitals. To identify the number of pregnant women smoking during pregnancy and to identify their exposure to secondhand smoke, we conducted a cross-sectional observational p…
