Designing a self-directed family support intervention for parents/caregivers to aid conversation about parental substance use with children and young people
Purpose A total of 478,000 children in England are reported to live with a parent who uses substances. The presence of a stable non-substance using caregiver within the family has been found to be one protective factor for children (Velleman and Templeton, 2016), yet there is a lack of research examining how to intervene with non-substance using parents/caregivers. This study aims to co-produce an intervention for non-substance using parents/care…

The acceptability of alcohol screening and brief intervention for older adults in community venues
A Co-produced International Qualitative Systematic Review on Lived Experiences of Trauma During Homelessness in Adulthood and Impacts on Mental Health
Trauma can be both a cause and a consequence of homelessness and has lasting impacts on mental health and wellbeing. Often research focusses on trauma and adversity in childhood leading to homelessness, but understanding traumatic experiences during adulthood homelessness can be just as important for informing intervention development and policies to mitigate and eradicate homelessness. Working with people with lived experience of homelessness, t…
Evaluating Process and Outcomes of Public Involvement in Applied Health and Social Care Research
Personalised care for people with excessive alcohol use following an episode of self-harm
The findings contribute to an evidence gap in appropriate care for patients with excessive alcohol use, self-harm and poor mental health. Whilst limited to one service, the findings highlight what patients valued, opportunities for implementation in other contexts, and thus have relevance internationally
The Acceptability of a Tobacco Dependency Treatment for NHS Staff in the North East of England

Interventions to Reduce Parental Substance Use, Domestic Violence and Mental Health Problems, and Their Impacts Upon Children’s Well-Being
Mechanisms That Promote and Support Family Preservation for Children at the Edge of Care
Children in care of the state are amongst the most disadvantaged in society. They have often experienced adverse childhood experiences leading to their care entry including abuse and neglect. Longitudinal data suggests problems children in care of the state experience within adolescence persist into adulthood, showing “a continuing legacy of adversity.” Emerging literature shows that edge of care interventions can bring about benefits. These inte…
Co-producing an intervention to prevent mental health problems in children and young people in contact with child welfare services
We found that a trauma-informed, activity-based intervention with an embedded family-focused component provided to CYP who have experienced adversity is most likely to prevent mental health problems in those in contact with child welfare services

Understanding How School-Based Interventions Can Tackle LGBTQ+ Youth Mental Health Inequality
Globally, research indicates that LGBTQ+ young people have elevated rates of poor mental health in comparison with their cisgender heterosexual peers. The school environment is a major risk factor and is consistently associated with negative mental health outcomes for LGBTQ+ young people. The aim of this UK study was to develop a programme theory that explained how, why, for whom, and in what context school-based interventions prevent or reduce m…
Habitus of home and traditional drinking
There is evidence that alcohol consumption among those in middle-class occupations consistently exceeds safe levels, yet there has been little research into why this occurs. This article explores the meanings associated with alcohol use among professional, managerial and clerical workers. Qualitative data were collected from five focus groups of male and female employees aged 21-55 (N=49: 32 male, 17 female). Each focus group was conducted on the…

Using turning point theory, as part of a life course approach, the ATTUNE study aimed to understand which social, economic and individual factors shape pathways into and out of ATS use. Qualitative, semi-structured interviews (n = 70) were undertaken with individ…
Still a difficult business? Negotiating alcohol-related problems in general practice consultations
Moving from ‘what we know works’ to ‘what we do in practice’
Global research has shown that most young people who are care experienced are not prepared to transition to independent living at 18 years of age and require support into early adulthood. We used rigorous systematic methods to identify English‐based peer reviewed and grey literature describing innovations relevant to care experienced young people as they transition into adulthood, with a focus upon lessons for their implementation and diffusion. …

A retrospective analysis of changing outcomes for pregnant substance users with the establishment of specialist antenatal services
The misuse of substances (alcohol and illicit drugs) during pregnancy is increasingly common in the UK and is associated with poor maternal and foetal outcomes. Current estimates are that 2–3% of children have a substance misusing parent. There is a poor understanding of the demographics of pregnant substance misusers, of the patterns of antenatal service provision and little evidence about which service model is most effective at optimising care…
O4-6.2 Preventing alcohol use disorders in adults and young people in England
Excessive drinking is currently the second greatest risk to health and well-being in developed countries such as the UK. Indeed, the wide-scale nature of the acute and chronic health problems, and the negative social consequences, linked to heavy drinking have led to the concept of the “Preventive Paradox.” Thus the greatest impact in tackling alcohol problems can be made by dealing with larger group of non-dependent drinkers who are at risk or h…
The ‘other’ in patterns of drinking
When developing public health alcohol interventions it is important to consider the views of differing groups within the population. Our sample considered public health messages to be of no relevance to them, rather they reinforced perceptions that their own alcohol use was controlled and acceptable. To develop effective public health alcohol interventions the views of this group should be examined in more detail

Unravelling the alcohol harm paradox
Low socioeconomic status groups are more likely to drink at extreme levels, which may partially explain the alcohol harm paradox. Policies that address alcohol-related health inequalities need to consider extreme drinking levels in some sub-groups that may be associated with multiple markers of deprivation. This will require a more disaggregated understanding of drinking practices
Use of aids for smoking cessation and alcohol reduction
In England, the use of pharmacotherapy is prevalent for smoking cessation but not alcohol reduction. Other aids are used at a low rate, with face-to-face counselling being more common for alcohol reduction than smoking cessation
Are recent attempts to quit smoking associated with reduced drinking in England? A cross-sectional population survey
Smokers who report starting a quit attempt in the last week also report lower alcohol consumption, including less frequent binge drinking, and appear more likely to report currently attempting to reduce their alcohol consumption compared with smokers who do not report a quit attempt in the last week
Attitudes and Learning through Practice Are Key to Delivering Brief Interventions for Heavy Drinking in Primary Health Care
In this paper, we test path models that study the interrelations between primary health care provider attitudes towards working with drinkers, their screening and brief advice activity, and their receipt of training and support and financial reimbursement. Study participants were 756 primary health care providers from 120 primary health care units (PHCUs) in different locations throughout Catalonia, England, The Netherlands, Poland, and Sweden. O…
Are Brief Alcohol Interventions Adequately Embedded in UK Primary Care? A Qualitative Study Utilising Normalisation Process Theory
Despite substantial evidence for their effectiveness, the adoption of alcohol screening and brief interventions (ASBI) in routine primary care remains inconsistent. Financial incentive schemes were introduced in England between 2008 and 2015 to encourage their delivery. We used Normalisation Process Theory-informed interviews to understand the barriers and facilitators experienced by 14 general practitioners (GPs) as they implemented ASBI during …
