Intervening in the cycle of poverty, poor housing and poor health
Poverty, poor housing and poor health are complexly interconnected in a cycle that has proven resistant to intervention by housing providers or policy makers. Research often focuses on the impacts of the physical housing defects, particularly upon rates of (physical) illness and disease. There has been comparatively little research into the ways in which housing services can underpin the generation of positive health and, especially, wellbeing. D…
Housing as a social determinant of health and wellbeing
The findings provide an empirically-informed realist theoretical framework for causal pathways connecting less tangible aspects of the housing experience to health and wellbeing. Applying this within housing policy and practice would facilitate a focus on housing as a public health intervention, with potential for significant impacts on the lives of low-income and vulnerable tenants. The framework also offers a basis for further research to refin…
Hybridity in the housing sector
Housing Associations in many countries exhibit increasing levels of 'hybridity', as reductions in state financing for social housing, exacerbated by austerity policies since the 2008 crash, have instigated 'enterprising' approaches to maintaining income. Alongside this, hybrid organisations have emerged in the Private Rented Sector (PRS), responding to sectoral growth and consequent increases in vulnerable households entering private renting. The…
The Perspectives of Young Men and Their Teenage Partners on Maternity and Health Services During Pregnancy and Early Parenthood
This study discusses young couples’ interactions with maternity and health services paying particular attention to men’s perspectives. Findings are based on research conducted in Scotland with men (aged 16–25) and their teenage partners (aged 16–19). Most young men were very involved in their child’s life and provided support and care to their partner during pregnancy and in early parenthood. Men often felt excluded or judged when accessing servi…
Understanding the Role of Communities of Practice in Evidence-Informed Decision Making in Public Health
In this article we report on qualitative findings that describe public health practitioners' practice-based definitions of evidence-informed decision making (EIDM) and communities of practice (CoP), and how CoP could be a mechanism to enhance their capacity to practice EIDM. Our findings emerged from a qualitative descriptive analysis of group discussions and participant concept maps from two consensus-building workshops that were conducted with …
I don't think old people should go to clubs’
Understanding the meanings, associations and ideas of appropriateness that shape young adults’ decision-making around alcohol will assist in developing strategies to promote healthy consumption and anticipate rates of future harm. Increases in per capita consumption as well as the affordability and availability of alcohol suggest the cultural environment in which young adults become consumers of alcohol has changed in recent years. This qualitati…
What happened when Scottish women were given advance supplies of emergency contraception? A survey and qualitative study of women's views and experiences
Assisting young people's access to social capital in contemporary families
This study uses the accounts of parents supplemented by those of their children (aged 13–17) to develop understanding of the role of families in the production and garnering of social capital. In doing so, it draws on J. S. Coleman's hypotheses about the impact of single‐parent households, parental work, siblings, and links between parents in different families on the social capital available to young people. The data suggest that non‐traditional…
