Sexual identities and sexual health within the Celtic nations
Associations of sexual identity with a range of sexual and sexual health behaviours were investigated amongst men who have sex with men (MSM). Data from 1816 MSM recruited from 4 Celtic nations (Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland) were collected via a cross-sectional online survey advertised via social media. About 18.3% were non-gay identified MSM (NGI-MSM). In the last year, 30% of NGI-MSM reported high-risk unprotect…
Interventions to increase condom use among middle-aged and older adults
This systematic review collates, examines and syntheses condom use interventions for middle-aged and older adults. Associations between effectiveness and theoretical basis, behaviour change techniques, mode of delivery and treatment fidelity were explored. Five interventions were included; one was effective. Compared to interventions with non-significant findings, the effective telephone-administered intervention used theory to a greater extent, …
Factors associated with recency of HIV testing amongst men residing in Scotland who have sex with men
Rates of HIV testing are increasing among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Scotland and the UK. However, it remains vital to encourage MSM to test for HIV.

Cross-sectional data were collected using self-report, anonymous …

Many opportunities to encourage and support smoking cessation in people with MHPs are currently missed.

The intentions of gay men in taking an HIV test
The objective of this study was to determine the contributions of a range of psychosocial, demographic and behavioural variables to gay men's intentions to take an HIV test. A cross-sectional self-report survey was undertaken. Researchers approached patrons of all known gay bars in Glasgow and Edinburgh during May 2000. Questionnaires were completed by 803 men (response rate of 78%). Those with a stronger intention to test had previously tested, …
Re-appraising HIV Testing among Scottish Gay Men
This paper explores Scottish gay men's understandings of HIV testing within the context of changes stemming from the availability of new treatments for HIV. Transcripts of one-toone interviews with 18 gay men were analysed together with those from four focus groups ( n= 19) concerning HIV testing, HIV status and HIV risk management. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was employed to identify recurrent themes. We focus upon a rise of HIV-opt…
Measuring the stress associated with caring for clients with HIV/Aids
The AIDS-stress scale (Pleck et al., 1988) provides measures of the sources of stress faced by health care workers caring for people with AIDS. The aim of the study was to consider the utility of the scale as a means of identifying groups of health care workers who would benefit from intervention. Data were collected from a sample of Scottish health care workers (n = 140), all with known contact with clients with HIV or AIDS within the year prior…
Factors Related to the Academic Attainments of Children With Down's Syndrome
S ummary . The attainments in reading, number and writing skills, of 117 children with Down's syndrome, aged 6 to 14 years, were assessed using checklists completed by teachers. In a study of child and family functioning a wide range of variables was measured and the relationships of these to academic attainments were investigated using multivariable analysis. The children's mental age scores were most strongly related to academic attainments sco…
