Using WELLBYs to demonstrate the social value of social prescribing at a national level
People, Place and Policy is an online journal providing a forum for academic debate around issues of urban policy, social and economic regeneration, housing and the labour market. Articles deal with the situations and experiences of people and places struggling to negotiate the opportunities, constraints and risks within contemporary society
Physical activity interventions for older adults – an overview of systematic reviews
The proportion of people meeting recommended physical activity (PA) guidelines declines with age. Older adults who are physically inactive have an increased risk of: all-cause mortality; chronic diseases; injury and reduced cognitive functioning. Multiple systematic reviews aim to understand the effectiveness of PA interventions but the evidence is fragmented and it is unclear how well the research reflects the needs of older people. We conducted…
Patient, carer and family experiences of seeking redress and reconciliation following a life‐changing event
Street trees and mental health
We considered the relationship between street trees and mental health with the aim of developing systems thinking-informed hypotheses to improve the implementation and evaluation of this popular nature-based solution (NBS). We integrated qualitative and quantitative evidence using causal loop diagraming (CLD), and then further analyzed and extended these diagrams with the aid of systems archetypes to identify key system structures. From these CLD…
The Ocean Decade—Opportunities for Oceans and Human Health Programs to Contribute to Public Health
The COVID-19 pandemic reminds us that our health is vulnerable to immediate threats emerging from the ecosystems we inhabit. More insidious global threats include the increasingly overt consequences of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. As the largest connected ecosystem on Earth, the global ocean exerts a greater influence than any other on our climate and weather, affecting global food production and international trade. Much mor…
Can a Meta-ethnography Be Updated by Different Reviewers? Reflections From a Recent Update
Over the last decade, there has been a proliferation of published meta-ethnographies. Yet, strategies and techniques for updating have not received the same attention, rendering answers to important methodological questions still elusive. One such question has to do with who can perform an update. Although it is not uncommon for quantitative systematic reviews and statistical meta-analyses to be updated by different reviewers, qualitative synthes…
What approaches to social prescribing work, for whom, and in what circumstances? A realist review
The use of non-medical referral, community referral or social prescribing interventions has been proposed as a cost-effective alternative to help those with long-term conditions manage their illness and improve health and well-being. However, the evidence base for social prescribing currently lags considerably behind practice. In this paper, we explore what is known about whether different methods of social prescribing referral and supported upta…
Improving reporting of meta-ethnography
AIMS: The aim of this study was to provide guidance to improve the completeness and clarity of meta-ethnography reporting. BACKGROUND: Evidence-based policy and practice require robust evidence syntheses which can further understanding of people's experiences and associated social processes. Meta-ethnography is a rigorous seven-phase qualitative evidence synthesis methodology, developed by Noblit and Hare. Meta-ethnography is used widely in healt…
Public involvement in research about environmental change and health
Involving and engaging the public are crucial for effective prioritisation, dissemination and implementation of research about the complex interactions between environments and health. Involvement is also important to funders and policy makers who often see it as vital for building trust and justifying the investment of public money. In public health research, 'the public' can seem an amorphous target for researchers to engage with, and the short…
Cochrane Qualitative and Implementation Methods Group guidance series—paper 3
Applying GRADE-Cerqual to qualitative evidence synthesis findings
The GRADE-CERQual ('Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative research') approach provides guidance for assessing how much confidence to place in findings from systematic reviews of qualitative research (or qualitative evidence syntheses). The approach has been developed to support the use of findings from qualitative evidence syntheses in decision-making, including guideline development and policy formulation. Confidence in the evid…
Asking More of Qualitative Synthesis
We continue the conversation initiated by Sally Thorne’s observations about “metasynthetic madness.” We note that the variety of labels used to describe qualitative syntheses often reflect authors’ disciplines and geographical locations. The purpose of systematic literature searching is to redress authors’ lack of citation of relevant earlier work and to reassure policy makers that qualitative syntheses are systematic and transparent. There is cl…
What are the effects of nature conservation on human well-being? A systematic map of empirical evidence from developing countries
Attention Restoration Theory
Meta-Study as Diagnostic
Having previously conducted qualitative syntheses of the diabetes literature, we wanted to explore the changes in theoretical approaches, methodological practices, and the construction of substantive knowledge which have recently been presented in the qualitative diabetes literature. The aim of this research was to explore the feasibility of synthesizing existing qualitative syntheses of patient perspectives of diabetes using meta-study methodolo…
Using Qualitative Evidence in Decision Making for Health and Social Interventions
Simon Lewin and colleagues present a methodology for increasing transparency and confidence in qualitative research synthesis.
Should we appraise the quality of qualitative research reports for systematic reviews, and if so, how
Systematic reviews of qualitative research have increasing currency for evidence-based policy-making. Potentially, this can prevent further marginalization of qualitative evidence, increase our understanding of the body of work undertaken by qualitative researchers and allow broader, more overarching theories about studied phenomenon to be built. Qualitative researchers have so far failed to agree what constitutes “validity” or “quality” in their…
OP37 Psychological Consequences of False-Positive Screening Mammograms in the UK
Background In the UK women aged 47–73 are invited for screening by mammography every three years. In 2009–10 more than 2.24 million women in this age group in England were invited to take part in the programme, of these 73% attended a screening clinic. Of these 64,104 were recalled for assessment. Of those recalled 81% did not have breast cancer, these women had a false-positive mammogram. The aim of this systematic review was to identify the psy…
Vaginal practices as women's agency in Sub-Saharan Africa
Developing warning and disaster response capacity in the tourism sector in coastal Washington, USA
Purpose There has been a considerable effort over the last decade to increase awareness of the tsunami risk in coastal Washington, USA. However, contemporary research on warning systems spawned by the recent Indian Ocean tsunami tragedy highlights the need for development of an effective tsunami warning system for both residents and transient populations, including visitors and tourists. This study sets out evaluate staff training for emergencies…
