Exploring the impact of a daily sport uniform policy in primary schools: A qualitative study with students and teachers
Open AccessCarly Gardner, Cassandra Lane et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2025References: 4
This study deepens our understanding of the potential health and wellbeing benefits a daily sport uniform policy may have and highlights barriers such as traditions persist in school settings. Policy sustainment may require considered implementation support and consulting students in uniform designs and options
Measuring land-use mixing across the Republic of Ireland: Source data comparisons
Open AccessCian O’driscoll, Frank Crowley et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2023
Historical patterns of land-use development across many countries in the Global North have generally been characterised by land-use segregation, low-density settlements, and limited transport accessibility. This can lead to inefficient regional developmental patterns and can increase the environmental degradation attributable to regional expansion. Numerous metrics and datasets have been employed to infer the sustainability and efficiency of thes…

Land-use mixing in Irish cities: Implications for sustainable development
Open AccessCian O’driscoll, Conor O’Driscoll et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2023Cited by: 2References: 36
Land-use configurations are explicitly related to the outcomes of numerous economic, social, and environmental policies. From a regional development perspective, efficiency in the use of natural resources, such as space, can positively contribute to sustainability efforts in these realms. This Viewpoint measures the efficiency of land and infrastructure usage within Irish metropolitan areas using relative entropy (i.e., land-use mixing). We find …
How the relationship between socio-demographics, residential environments and travel influence commuter choices
Open AccessCian O’driscoll, Frank Crowley et al.ARTICLERegional Studies2023Cited by: 1References: 6
Individual socio-demographic characteristics influence the composition of residential environments, employment considerations and transport-dedicated resources, all of which influence individual travel behaviours. To analyse these interrelationships, we employ generalised structural equation modelling using individual-level data from the 2016 Irish Census on workers across the Republic of Ireland alongside highly spatially disaggregated residenti…
School-level factors associated with the sustainment of weekly physical activity scheduled in Australian elementary schools: An observational study
Open AccessAdam Shoesmith, Alix Ivers et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022
Further research is required to explore additional contextual-specific, and end-user appropriate factors associated with schools' sustainment of weekly PA scheduled. This will help accurately inform the development of strategies to address these determinants and support the sustainment and long-term benefits of school-based health interventions more broadly
Retail sprawl and CO2 emissions: Retail centres in Irish cities
Open AccessCian O’driscoll, Conor O'Driscoll et al.ARTICLEJournal of Transport Geography2022References: 7
The concept of sustainable retail development implies that retail centres should serve their communities economically and socially, while not degrading local environments. However, existing literature identifies that retail centres often create negative externalities, impacting the sustainable development of both the core and peripheries of city regions. International evidence also shows that retail sprawl and transport emissions have been exacer…

Entrepreneurship and employment growth across European regions
Open AccessJim Doran, Nicole Mccarthy et al.ARTICLERegional Studies Regional Science2016Cited by: 4
This research focuses on the impact of regional entrepreneurial activity on employment growth. Specifically it analyses whether new firm formation in European NUTS-2 regions can stimulate job creation and drive employment growth
Improving informed consent: Pilot of a decision aid for women invited to participate in a breast cancer prevention trial (Ibis‐II DCIS)
Open AccessIlona Juraskova, Phyllis Butow et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2008
Background Patients and clinicians report difficulties with the process of informed consent to clinical trials and audiotape audits show that critical information is often omitted or poorly presented. Decision aids (DAs) may assist in improving consent. Aims This study piloted a DA booklet for a high priority breast cancer prevention trial, IBIS‐II DCIS, which compares the efficacy of an aromatase inhibitor (anastrozole) with tamoxifen in women w…
