Rethinking the message on alcohol and breast cancer with UK women
Alcohol consumption is a well-established, yet, under-recognized risk factor for breast cancer (BCa) in women. Low public awareness of this link limits informed decision-making and undermines support for evidence-based alcohol policy. Existing communication strategies often neglect the socioemotional context in which such messages are received. This study offers a novel, participant-informed approach to message development, grounded in rigorous q…

The study reported here addresses the social nature of school as a community for learning through a mixed‐methods concurrent triangulation evaluation of …
Implementing the Strengthening Families Approach to Child Protection Conferences

This study examined the impact and feasibility of implementing the SF model across one local authority. A mixed-methods design was adopted. Data collection included: semi-structured interviews with professionals and parents; non-partici…
Emotional Health and Well‐being in Schools
Prevalence studies of emotional health and well‐being (EHWB) of young people indicate that that there is cause for concern. Very few studies have examined EHWB from the perspective of young people. This study examined the views of young people about their EHWB in the context of secondary education in the UK. Eight focus groups were conducted in five secondary schools with pupils in year 10 (aged 13–14). The findings suggested that whilst pupils t…
