  • A qualitative interview study exploring barriers and facilitators to uptake of measles vaccination among healthcare workers at a London hospital

    Open AccessNikki Heinze, Louise Smith et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Introduction: Healthcare workers (HCW) are at increased risk of measles due to their occupational exposure. Yet, there is evidence of low vaccination rates, inadequate immunity among this group, and many do not know their vaccination status. The aim of this qualitative study is to explore barriers and facilitators to measles vaccination and reasons why some HCW do not know their vaccination status. Methods: We conducted 23 online semi-structured …

  • The Agile Co-production and Evaluation framework for developing public health interventions, messaging and guidance

    Open AccessLiz Yardley, Lucy Yardley et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    A lesson identified from the COVID-19 pandemic is that we need to extend existing best practice for intervention development. In particular, we need to integrate (a) state-of-the-art methods of rapidly coproducing public health interventions and messaging to support all population groups to protect themselves and their communities with (b) methods of rapidly evaluating co-produced interventions to determine which are acceptable and effective. Thi…

  • Knowledge of Self-Isolation Rules in the UK for Those Who Have Symptoms of Covid-19

    Open AccessLouise Smith, Robert West et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    Approximately 63% of UK adults between November 2020 and February 2022 appeared to know the main rules regarding self-isolation if symptomatic with COVID-19. Knowledge was lower in younger than older people, men than women, those living in England compared with Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, and those living in more deprived areas

  • Mpox knowledge, behaviours and barriers to public health measures among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men in the UK

    Open AccessTom May, Lauren B Towler et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    There are differential needs, preferences, and experiences of GBMSM that limit the acceptability of some mitigation and prevention measures. Future public health interventions and campaigns should be co-designed in consultation with key groups and communities to ensure greater acceptability and credibility in different contexts and communities

  • Understanding adherence to self-isolation in the first phase of the Covid-19 pandemic in England

    Open AccessCharlotte Robin, Rosy Reynolds et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Understanding adherence to isolation and associated reasoning during the early stages of the pandemic is essential to pandemic preparedness for future emerging infectious disease outbreaks. Individuals make complex decisions around adherence by calibrating transmission risks, therefore treating adherence as binary should be avoided

  • Engagement with protective behaviours in the UK during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessLouise Smith, Henry W W Potts et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Engagement with protective behaviours increased at the start of the pandemic and has remained high since. The greatest variations in behaviour reflected changes to Government rules. Despite the duration of restrictions, people have continued to adopt personal protective behaviours that were intended to prevent the spread of COVID-19

  • A qualitative process analysis of daily contact testing as an alternative to self-isolation following close contact with a confirmed carrier of Sars-CoV-2

    Open AccessSarah Denford, Alex F Martin et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Participants in this study viewed DCT as a sensible, feasible, and welcome means of avoiding unnecessary self-isolation. Although negative LFTs provided reassurance, most people still restricted their activity as recommended. DCT was also highly valued by those in vulnerable households as a means of providing reassurance of the absence of infection and as an important means of detecting infection and prompting self-isolation when necessary

  • Exploring the impact of shielding advice on the wellbeing of individuals identified as clinically extremely vulnerable amid the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessGemma Lasseter, Polly Compston et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    This research highlights the difficulties in providing generic messaging that is applicable and appropriate given the diversity of individuals identified as CEV and the importance of sharing tailored and timely advice to inform shielding decisions. Providing messages that reinforce self-determined action and assistance from support services could reduce the negative impact of shielding on mental health and feelings of social isolation

  • Covid-19 vaccination intention in the UK

    Open AccessSusan M Sherman, Louise Smith et al.ARTICLEHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics2021

    To investigate factors associated with intention to be vaccinated against COVID-19 we conducted a cross-sectional survey of 1,500 UK adults, recruited from an existing online research panel. Data were collected between 14th and 17th July 2020. We used linear regression analyses to investigate associations between intention to be vaccinated for COVID-19 "when a vaccine becomes available to you" and sociodemographic factors, previous influenza vacc…

  • Engagement With Daily Testing Instead of Self-Isolating in Contacts of Confirmed Cases of Sars-CoV-2

    Open AccessSarah Denford, Alex F Martin et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Introduction: In December 2020 and January 2021 Public Health England (PHE) with NHS Test and Trace conducted a study to explore the feasibility and acceptability of daily testing as an alternative to self-isolation following close contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case. This qualitative paper aims to identify factors influencing uptake among those offered daily testing, and the subsequent impact on behaviour. Methods: We conducted in-depth inter…

  • Is My Cough a Cold or Covid? A Qualitative Study of Covid-19 Symptom Recognition and Attitudes Toward Testing in the UK

    Open AccessFiona Mowbray, Lisa Woodland et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Objective: Key to reducing the spread of COVID-19 in the UK is increased use of the NHS Test and Trace (NHSTT) system. This study explored one of the main issues that determine whether people engage with NHSTT, how people understand symptoms that may indicate the presence of COVID-19 and that should trigger a request for a test. Methods: In this qualitative study, a series of semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with 40 people (21 …

  • Millennial attitudes towards sharing mobile phone location data with health agencies

    Hannah Murphy, Lauren Keahey et al.ARTICLEInformation Communication & Society2021

    The use of mobile phone devices leaves digital traces which include personal data of the user’s location and can be used to produce aggregated and anonymised location data. There is widespread interest in utilising different types of mobile phone location data to optimise emergency health responses within a range of settings, however until now there has been no qualitative research exploring public opinions on sharing such data. A qualitative stu…

  • Engagement with daily testing instead of self-isolating in contacts of confirmed cases of Sars-CoV-2

    Open AccessAlex F Martin, Sarah Denford et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Our data suggest that daily testing is potentially acceptable, may facilitate sharing contact details of close contacts among those who test positive for COVID-19, and promote adherence to self-isolation. A better understanding is needed of how to make this option more acceptable for all households. The impact of receiving a negative test on behaviour remains a risk that needs to be monitored and mitigated by appropriate messaging. Future researc…

  • The psychological effects of quarantining a city

    Open AccessG James Rubin, Simon WesselyARTICLEBMJ2020

    Whether the epidemiological benefits of mandatory mass quarantine outweigh the psychological costs is a judgement that should not be made lightly

  • How to improve adherence with quarantine

    Open AccessRebecca K Webster, Samantha K Brooks et al.ARTICLEPublic Health2020

    OBJECTIVES: The December 2019 outbreak of coronavirus has once again thrown the vexed issue of quarantine into the spotlight, with many countries asking their citizens to 'self-isolate' if they have potentially come into contact with the infection. However, adhering to quarantine is difficult. Decisions on how to apply quarantine should be based on the best available evidence to increase the likelihood of people adhering to protocols. We conducte…

  • Endurance or decline of emergent groups following a flood disaster

    Open AccessEvangelos Ntontis, John Drury et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Disaster…2020

  • A systematic review of factors associated with side‐effect expectations from medical interventions

    Open AccessLouise Smith, Rebecca K Webster et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2020

  • The English National Cohort Study of Flooding & Health

    Open AccessRanya Mulchandani, Ben Armstrong et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    Flooding can have severe long-lasting consequences on mental health in affected populations. If these problems are not identified and treated early, they may persist for years. Further research is necessary to develop and evaluate interventions to increase resilience in at risk populations and to ensure timely access to support services following flooding

  • An evidence-based theory of change for reducing Sars-CoV-2 transmission in reopened schools

    Open AccessChris Bonell, G J Melendez-Torres et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2020

  • Harnessing behavioural science in public health campaigns to maintain ‘social distancing’ in response to the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessChris Bonell, Susan Michie et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2020Citada por: 6Referencias: 26

    Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), like Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), is an infection arising from a coronavirus. The COVID-19 pandemic is unprecedented in recent times in terms of the global spread of infection and the resultant morbidity, mortality and burden on health systems. In the absence of a vaccine, reducing transmission of the COVID-19 virus requires rapid and extensive behaviour…

  • Protecting the psychological wellbeing of staff exposed to disaster or emergency at work

    Open AccessSamantha K Brooks, Rebecca Dunn et al.ARTICLEBMC Psychology2019

    Organisations can take steps to reduce the psychological impact of disasters on employees. This could be done through provision of training workshops incorporating mental health education to reduce stigma, and team-building exercises to encourage supportive workplace relationships

  • Training peers to treat Ebola centre workers with anxiety and depression in Sierra Leone

    Open AccessSamantha Waterman, Elaine Hunter et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Social…2018

    BACKGROUND: Following the 2014 Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in West Africa, the UK Department for International Development funded South London and Maudsley National Health Service (NHS) to develop a psychological intervention that ex-Ebola Treatment Centre (ETC) staff could be trained to deliver to their peers to improve mental health in Sierra Leone. AIM: The two key aims were to assess the feasibility of training a national team to deliv…

  • The English National Cohort Study of Flooding and Health

    Open AccessDaiga Jermacane, Thomas D Waite et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    This study shows a continuance of probable psychological morbidity at least two years following exposure to flooding. Commissioners and providers of health and social care services should be aware that the increased need in populations may be prolonged. Efforts to resolve persistent damage to homes may reduce the risk of probable psychological morbidity
