How schools and workplaces use evidence to navigate health and wellbeing investment decisions – a scoping review
Purpose Despite increased calls for greater health and wellbeing promotion in workplaces and schools, little is known about how these organisations make use of evidence to support health and wellbeing investment decisions. Design/methodology/approach A scoping review was conducted to explore how workplaces and schools use evidence in their health and wellbeing investments decisions and to synthesise findings across a range of OECD countries. Find…
How school phone policies influence adolescent phone use and wellbeing (SMART Schools): A qualitative comparative case study
Restrictive school phone policies are expected to positively influence adolescent in-school phone use and improve pupil wellbeing. However, there is a lack of research that explains how school phone policies impact on phone use and wellbeing. This qualitative comparative case study aimed to provide such explanatory data. Data were collected from 40 focus group interviews in 7 case study secondary schools in England (4 with permissive phone polici…
Secondary school smartphone policies in England: A descriptive analysis of how schools rationalize, design, and implement restrictive and permissive phone policies
This study provides a descriptive analysis of the content and implementation of smartphone policies across 30 secondary schools in England, comparing schools that do (permissive) or do not (restrictive) allow phone use during recreational time. School policy documents were collected, along with survey data from pupil (n = 1198), teacher (n = 53), and SLT (n = 30) participants. Phones were positioned as benefitting safety, learning, and communicat…
How is process tracing applied in health research? A systematic scoping review
Complex health system questions often have a case study (such as a country) as the unit of analysis. Process tracing, a method from policy studies, is a flexible approach for causal analysis within case studies, increasingly used in applied health research. The aim of this study was to identify the ways in which process tracing methods have been used in health research, and provide insights for best practice. We conducted a systematic scoping rev…
Why and how do workplaces invest in mental health and wellbeing? A systematic review and process tracing study
A scoping review of preference-based instruments for measuring carer outcomes in economic evaluations
Carer-specific preference-based instruments have been developed to capture outcomes for economic evaluations but the body of evidence has yet to be collated to guide instrument selection and identify knowledge gaps for future research. This scoping review aimed to identify carer-related, preference-based instruments and summarise and assess their performance, valuation and application. Nine databases (ASSIA, CINAHL, Cochrane, DARE, Econlit, EMBAS…
Mental health and wellbeing priority setting: A study of evidence use in schools in England
Educational settings represent an important site for mental health and wellbeing (MHWB) investment, with an upsurge in research evidence to support such investments. However, the way in which schools use evidence to support priority setting has not been widely documented. This article focuses on how, in practice, English schools use evidence in investing in MHWB initiatives. We conducted exploratory interviews and document analysis with decision-…
Care as capital: Developing theory about school investment in mental health and wellbeing
Recent years have seen an emphasis on delivering mental health and wellbeing support in school settings. However, the process by which schools meet this resource allocation challenge is largely undocumented. Our study used theory-building process tracing to develop a mechanistic understanding of the process of mental health investment in schools. We conducted in-depth case study work with four school sites in England, comprising 29 interviews and…
Critical Examination of Healthcare Access Strategies and Their Implications on Public Health
Healthcare accessibility is one of the main determinants of health in the population and the world. The three A’s, access, cost, and availability of health facilities, play a significant role in how quality health care is being delivered and, in the effort, to prevent diseases and improve the health standards of the communities. Analyzing healthcare access models, this paper discusses best practices as well as problems that have been observed in …
Financial stress and depression in adults: A systematic review
Financial stress has been proposed as an economic determinant of depression. However, there is little systematic analysis of different dimensions of financial stress and their association with depression. This paper reports a systematic review of 40 observational studies quantifying the relationship between various measures of financial stress and depression outcomes in adults. Most of the reviewed studies show that financial stress is positively…
The use of composite time trade-off and discrete choice experiment methods for the valuation of the Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (SWEMWBS): A think-aloud study
The interviews contributed insights regarding the robustness of the proposed methods. The application of C-TTO and DCE valuation techniques was practical and suitable for capturing individual attitudes towards different mental well-being scenarios. A modified protocol informed by the results is being tested in a larger sample across the UK
The relative value of carer and patient quality of life: A person trade-off (PTO) study
A Deliberative Approach to Valuing Capabilities: Assessing and Valuing Changes in the Well-Being of those Close to Patients Receiving Supportive End of Life Care
Aim: Explore the use of deliberative valuation to elicit relative weights for a set of capabilities identified as being important and relevant to those close to patients receiving supportive care at the end of life. Methods: Focus groups, involving the general UK population (n = 38) and policy-makers (n = 29) with experience of, and influence on, priorities for end of life care. Public participants completed two valuation tasks (budget pie and vi…

Parental health spillover effects of paediatric rare genetic conditions
Six mechanisms behind carer wellbeing effects: A qualitative study of healthcare delivery
The validity and responsiveness of the Icecap-A capability-well-being measure in women with irritative lower urinary tract symptoms
The ICECAP-A is a valid and responsive measure capturing broad emotional and practical impacts of urinary symptoms on women's well-being and could be considered for use in economic evaluations in this context
A longitudinal assessment of the responsiveness of the Icecap-A in a randomised controlled trial of a knee pain intervention
This first analysis of the responsiveness using longitudinal data provides some positive evidence for the responsiveness of the ICECAP-A measure. There is a need for further research in those with low health and capability, and experiencing larger underlying changes in quality of life
Measuring caregiver outcomes in palliative care: A construct validation study of two instruments for use in economic evaluations
An investigation into the construct validity of the Carer Experience Scale (CES)
Can capabilities be self-reported? A think aloud study
Direct assessment of capability to function may be useful in healthcare settings, but poses many challenges. This paper reports a first investigation of the feasibility of individuals self-reporting their capabilities and the meaning of the responses. The study was conducted in 2010, using think-aloud interviews with participants in the UK. The findings of the study suggest that the majority of participants were able to comprehend questions about…
Using qualitative methods for attribute development for discrete choice experiments: Issues and recommendations
Attribute generation for discrete choice experiments (DCEs) is often poorly reported, and it is unclear whether this element of research is conducted rigorously. This paper explores issues associated with developing attributes for DCEs and contrasts different qualitative approaches. The paper draws on eight studies, four developed attributes for measures, and four developed attributes for more ad hoc policy questions. Issues that have become appa…
An investigation of the construct validity of the Icecap-A capability measure
This study suggests that the ICECAP-A measure can identify expected differences in capability wellbeing in a general population sample. Further work could establish whether self-reported capabilities exhibit desirable validity and acceptability in sub-groups of the population such as patients, social care recipients and informal carers
Development of a self-report measure of capability wellbeing for adults: The Icecap-A
The ICECAP-A capability measure represents a departure from traditional health economics outcome measures, by treating health status as an influence over broader attributes of capability wellbeing. Further work is required to value and validate the attributes and test the sensitivity of the ICECAP-A to healthcare interventions
