A qualitative exploration of researchers’ efforts to record healthcare encounters
Recordings of healthcare encounters are a rich source of data, providing high-quality evidence to guide improvement in communication. Through a survey, we explored UK researchers’ experience of attempting to employ this method. Findings highlight challenges throughout the research process, relating to: bureaucracy and the disproportionate attribution of risk, subjectivity and heterogeneity in the application of regulations and processes, and the …
Optimising the PTSD Hub App Through Co‐Production
BACKGROUND: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects approximately 1 in 20 individuals, with primary care playing a crucial role in early identification and management. However, PTSD is frequently underdiagnosed in primary care settings. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the incidence of PTSD, leading to an increased demand for accessible mental health services. While NICE guidelines recommend trauma-focused therapies, access remains lim…
Exploring the experiences and preferences of South Asian patients' of primary care in England since Covid‐19
INTRODUCTION: Remote (digital and/or telephone) access and consultation models are being driven by national policy with the goal being that the National Health Service operate on a remote-first (digital-first) basis by 2029. Previous research has suggested that remote methods of access to care and consulting may act to widen health inequalities for certain patients and/or groups such as those from ethnic minorities. South Asian (SA) patients comp…

The association of herpes zoster and influenza vaccinations with the risk of developing dementia
Both zoster vaccine for prevention of shingles / herpes zoster and influenza vaccine to prevent influenza were associated with diminished risk of dementia, with the zoster association appearing more pronounced
Urban Narratives and Urban History
Richard Wright and the Black Metropolis
Early twentieth-century Black literature on the city from the likes of Paul Laurence Dunbar, James Weldon Johnson, and Nella Larsen pondered questions of what it meant to be Black and urbane and also how to reformulate Black identity from a new position removed from the violent history of the South. While hints of criticism toward northern segregation appeared in those early works, Richard Wright’s Native Son (1940) offered the first intensive pr…

Studying the infant feeding intentions of pregnant women experiencing material deprivation
Effects of daily hassles and eating style on eating behavior.
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the daily hassles-eating behavior relationship and its moderators in a naturalistic setting. DESIGN: A multilevel diary design was used to examine day-to-day within-person effects of daily hassles on eating behavior (N = 422), together with the individual and simultaneous influence of potential moderating variables. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Daily diary reports of between-meal snacking, fruit and vegetable consumpt…
Using an extended theory of planned behaviour to understand smoking amongst schoolchildren
This study employed an extended theory of planned behaviour (TPB) to investigate the factors underlying smoking intentions and subsequent smoking behaviour three months later in a population of schoolchildren (N = 741). The TPB provided good predictions of both intentions (R2 = 0.518; attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control significant) and smoking (R2 = 0.299; intentions and PBC significant). However, intention did not fully …
Expanding the traditional user versus non‐user dichotomy amongst ecstasy users
Differences in the drug use characteristics and psychosocial variables in the use and non‐use of ecstasy within 845 16–25 year‐olds in the UK was examined. Based on levels of ecstasy use and intentions, two groups of non‐users (resistant and vulnerable), three groups of users (light, moderate and heavy) and an ex‐user group were identified. It was found that there is predictive utility in this way of expanding the widely employed ‘user versus non…
