Urban Visual Intelligence
The visual dimension of cities has been a fundamental subject in urban studies since the pioneering work of late-nineteenth- to mid-twentieth-century scholars such as Camillo Sitte, Kevin Lynch, Rudolf Arnheim, and Jane Jacobs. Several decades later, big data and artificial intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing how people move, sense, and interact with cities. This article reviews the literature on the appearance and function of cities to illustr…
Interventions for treating obstetric fistula
Obstetric fistula is prevalent in low- and middle-income countries, with between 50,000 and 100,000 new cases each year. The World Health Organization aims to eradicate it by 2030 but a clear idea of the extant evidence is unavailable. This evidence map compiled evidence on treatments for obstetric fistula to identify potential knowledge gaps. The protocol for this work was published on the Open Science Framework (DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/H7J35 ). A …
Changing healthcare professionals' non-reflective processes to improve the quality of care
Combining theories of habit and routines has the potential to advance implementation science by providing a fuller understanding of the range of factors, operating at multiple levels of analysis, which can impact on the behaviours of healthcare professionals, and so quality of care provision
Estimating an EQ-5D-3L Value Set for Romania Using Time Trade-Off
These results can support reimbursement decisions and allow regional cross-country comparisons between health technologies. This study lays a stepping stone in the development of a health technology assessment process more driven by locally relevant data in Romania
Evaluation of a complex healthcare intervention to increase smoking cessation in pregnant women
The implementation of a system-wide complex healthcare intervention was associated with significant increase in rates of quitting by delivery
The potential value of priority-setting methods in public health investment decisions
This paper reports on an action-oriented research study providing decision support to three local authorities in England on the prioritisation of public health investment and disinvestment decisions. We adopted a political science perspective, using the multiple streams framework to investigate the use of prioritisation tools in public health spending decisions at a time of severe financial constraints. The challenges and implications of their po…
Study protocol
This study will evaluate the effect of service components of transitional care, rather than evaluation of specific models that may be unsustainable or not generalisable. It has been developed in response to numerous national and international calls for such evaluation
OP82 An Evaluation of the Effect of the New School Food Policy on Children’s Nutritional Intake and Socio-Economic Consequences in North East England
Background After 20 years with no regulation of school food and a plethora of evidence on the state of children’s diets, new food and nutrient-based standards were re-introduced in 2006 to schools in England. As a major policy change receiving financial and legislative support from Government, our objectives were to evaluate the effect of this policy on children’s nutritional intake, and its wider consequences including the added costs. Methods A…
Effectiveness and efficiency of guideline dissemination and implementation strategies
OBJECTIVES: To undertake a systematic review of the effectiveness and costs of different guideline development, dissemination and implementation strategies. To estimate the resource implications of these strategies. To develop a framework for deciding when it is efficient to develop and introduce clinical guidelines. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE, Healthstar, Cochrane Controlled Trial Register, EMBASE, SIGLE and the specialised register of the Cochrane E…
