Strength and Vulnerability: A Qualitative Study of Mental Health and Unmitigated Communion Among Female Migrants in Southeast England
Open AccessPatrick Nyikavaranda, Christopher J Jones et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2026
Unmitigated communion (UC), the prioritisation of others' needs over one's own well-being, is a critical lens for understanding the mental health of female migrants. This qualitative study explores how UC intersects with constructions of strength and vulnerability within this population, particularly amid challenges such as adaptation, discrimination, and gendered roles. Using a feminist participatory methodology, the study was co-produced with 1…
It's a Permanent Struggle to Manage It Really: Psychological Burden and Coping Strategies of Adults Living With Food Allergy
Open AccessCaity Roleston, Jennifer L P Protudjer et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2025References: 37
Food allergy (FA) is a potentially life-threatening condition which is associated with poor quality of life and psychological distress in patients and caregivers. Although FA is often seen as a condition that affects children, increasing numbers of adults have FA, either as a condition they have grown up with or they were diagnosed as an adult. No recent research has explored the lived experiences of adults with FA and how they manage this condit…
Development and Evaluation of an eLearning Training Module to Improve United Kingdom Secondary School Teachers’ Knowledge and Confidence in Supporting Young People Who Self-Harm
Open AccessClaire Price, Rose-Marie Satherley et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2022
Background Self-harm is a major public health concern with evidence suggesting that the rates are higher in the United Kingdom than anywhere else in Europe. Increasingly, policy highlights the role of school staff in supporting young people (YP) who are self-harming, yet research indicates that school staff often feel ill-equipped to provide support and address self-harm behaviors. Here, we assess the impact of a bespoke eLearning module for Unit…
A Systematic Review of the Effects of Urban Living on Suicidality and Self-Harm in the UK and Ireland
Open AccessRose‐Marie Satherley, Cassie M Hazell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Health2022
We conducted a systematic review to answer the following: (a) Is there any evidence to support increased prevalence of suicidality and self-harm (i.e. self-harm or suicidality) in urban versus rural environments? (b) What aspects of the urban environment pose risk for suicidality and self-harm? Thirty-five studies met our criteria. Our findings reflect a mixed picture, but with a tendency for urban living to be associated with an increased risk o…

Consumer choice as experienced in the user-choice food pantry environment: Motivations and situational influences on food selection
Open AccessChristopher J Jones, Christina L Jones et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2019
Objective: While scholarship has investigated how to provide more healthy food options in choice pantry environments, research has just begun to investigate how pantry users go about making decisions regarding food items when the ability to choose is present. The present analysis sought to investigate the factors prohibiting and inhibiting food decision making in choice pantries from the perspective of frequent pantry users. Design: Six focus gro…

A systematic review of the effectiveness of interventions using the Common Sense Self-Regulatory Model to improve adherence behaviours
Open AccessChristopher J Jones, Christina J Jones et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2016
This systematic review assessed the effectiveness of the Common Sense Self-Regulatory Model in the design of interventions to improve adherence behaviours. Of nine eligible studies, six reported improvements in adherence behaviours and three showed moderate to large effects on return to work and lifestyle recommendations. Four studies stated how Common Sense Self-Regulatory Model constructs were addressed in the intervention and five measured ill…
The Health Belief Model as an Explanatory Framework in Communication Research: Exploring Parallel, Serial, and Moderated Mediation
Christopher J Jones, Christina L Jones et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2015
The Health Belief Model (HBM) posits that messages will achieve optimal behavior change if they successfully target perceived barriers, benefits, self-efficacy, and threat. While the model seems to be an ideal explanatory framework for communication research, theoretical limitations have limited its use in the field. Notably, variable ordering is currently undefined in the HBM. Thus, it is unclear whether constructs mediate relationships comparab…
The Effects of Expressive Writing on Lung Function, Quality of Life, Medication Use, and Symptoms in Adults With Asthma: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Helen Smith, Helen E Smith et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2015
OBJECTIVES: Asthma is a chronic condition affecting 300 million people worldwide. Management involves adherence to pharmacological treatments such as corticosteroids and β-agonists, but residual symptoms persist. As asthma symptoms are exacerbated by stress, one possible adjunct to pharmacological treatment is expressive writing (EW). EW involves the disclosure of traumatic experiences which is thought to facilitate cognitive and emotional proces…

Through engagement with a local, community-driven food insecurity coalition entitled Voices of Hunger, this analysis elaborates upon the conflicts and tensions present when food pantry users organized to enact agency and resistance against the local emergency food assistance structure.

Elevated nicotine levels in cervical lavages from passive smokers
Christopher J Jones, M H Schiffman et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1991References: 6
One hundred forty-five nonsmokers found to have normal cytologic diagnoses on routine Pap smears were interviewed regarding environmental exposure to tobacco smoke, and a 3 ml saline lavage of the cervix was collected for measurement of cervical nicotine levels by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy. Nicotine levels tended to be highest among women exposed to tobacco smoke in the home, intermediate in women exposed only outside the home, and low…
