Welfare concerns of farm-based therapy and education: People and Animals UK CIC
Can humans engage with farm animals in a way that maintains, perhaps enhances, the welfare of farm animals? Can communities learn to engage with farm animals in a manner similar to that of companion animals? Is it even fair to ask about farm animals? We hope to offer a contribution to this discussion, using a case study from People and Animals UK CIC to explore the impact of farm animals on people and their communities, but with a focus on how fa…
A haven of green space: Learning from a pilot pre-post evaluation of a school-based social and therapeutic horticulture intervention with children
A key study limitation is the pilot nature of the intervention and challenges in adapting evaluation methods to context and age-range. However, results indicate that group based socially interactive horticulture activities facilitated by trained therapists are associated with positive impacts upon the mental and emotional wellbeing of children experiencing behavioural, emotional and social difficulties. Further research is needed to verify this, …
Evaluating feasibility and acceptability of a local psycho-educational intervention for pregnant women with common mental problems affected by armed conflict in Swat, Pakistan: A parallel randomized c…
BACKGROUND: The current research was conducted in the Swat valley, where widespread conflict and militancy had been experienced prior to the field activities. The aim of this trial was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a locally developed psycho-educational intervention. METHODS: This mixed-methods study incorporated a quantitative and qualitative component. For the quantitative component, trial participants were identified from a …

This is one of the first community based cross sectional surveys in Swat valley, Pakistan to assess the prevalence of psychological distress during pregnancy in an area affected by conflict.

Exposure to potentially traumatic events remained independently associated with psychological distress 1 year after conflict ended, suggesting that conflict exposure may have long-term…
The space of access to primary mental health care: A qualitative case study
Intersectionality and gender mainstreaming in international health: Using a feminist participatory action research process to analyse voices and debates from the global south and north
Critiques of gender mainstreaming (GM) as the officially agreed strategy to promote gender equity in health internationally have reached a critical mass. There has been a notable lack of dialogue between gender advocates in the global north and south, from policy and practice, governments and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). This paper contributes to the debate on the shape of future action for gender equity in health, by uniquely bringing …
Exploring health inequalities through the lens of an ethnographic study of healthy eating provision in the early years sector
The social determinants of health are increasingly receiving international attention since the publication of the World Health Organization's Commission on the Social Determinants of Health in 2008. How different determinants affect health is much debated. Contrasting suggestions include, for example, a major link with socio-economic inequalities, lack of social status and psychosocial stress or the extent of the welfare state. Others emphasise t…

P39 Healthy eating for children in early years settings: A systematic review of current guidance at local and national levels

Furthermore, good practice evidence has been well summarised in the Caroline Walker Trust (CWT) Guidelines to Encourage Healthy Eating in Children Under Five. (2006). Objectives To evaluate the extent to which national and local UK guidelines for the ear…

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…
