Involving community members in designing behavioural weight management programmes
Our review identified substantial levels of community involvement (leadership or collaboration) in planning BWMPs, but less so in their delivery, and rarely in evaluation. Greater involvement of communities in evaluation would ensure programmes focus on what matters most to them. Reporting of community involvement, especially costs and time involved, should be improved to allow for shared learning
Co-designing adult weight management services
Co-design is an increasingly popular approach to designing health in services but can be difficult to achieve within traditional funding and commissioning practices. Drawing on our case studies, we present key considerations for those wanting to co-design health services, noting the importance of building strong relationships, creating supportive organisational cultures, and developing the evidence base
Advertisement of unhealthy commodities in Bristol and South Gloucestershire and rationale for a new advertisement policy
Unhealthy product advertisements, particularly for unhealthy food and drinks, were observed more by younger people and those living in more deprived areas. Policies that specifically restrict such advertisements, therefore, have the potential to reduce health inequalities, as was the hope when this policy was developed. Future evaluation of the policy will provide evidence of any public health impact
Is teachers’ mental health and wellbeing associated with students’ mental health and wellbeing?
Teachers' wellbeing and depressive symptoms, and associated risk factors
BACKGROUND: Teachers have been shown to have high levels of stress and common mental disorder, but few studies have examined which factors within the school environment are associated with poor teacher mental health. METHODS: Teachers (n=555) in 8 schools completed self-report questionnaires. Levels of teacher wellbeing (Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale-WEMWBS) and depressive symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire-PHQ-9) were measured and…

Children's active play
Children express a range of motivational and environmental factors that constrain and facilitate their active play. Consideration of these factors should improve effectiveness of interventions designed to increase active play
School-based friendship networks and children's physical activity
Despite the known health benefits, the majority of children do not meet physical activity guidelines, with past interventions to increase physical activity yielding little success. Social and friendship networks have been shown to influence obesity, smoking and academic achievement, and peer-led interventions have successfully reduced the uptake of adolescent smoking. However, the role of social networks on physical activity is not clear. This pa…
Parent and child physical activity and sedentary time
There are associations in the sedentary time of parents and daughters. Higher parental TV viewing was associated with an increased risk of high levels of TV viewing for both boys and girls. There were no associations between the time that parents and children spend engaged in physical activity
"Get off the sofa and go and play"
The family is important for encouraging children to be physically active, but families from different socioeconomic backgrounds support their children in different ways. This research suggests that the design of physical activity interventions, which might include working with families, requires tailoring to groups from different socio-economic backgrounds
