Translating Q methodology results into survey questions for large-scale use
Developing Q to survey (Q2S) approaches from underlying Q methodology studies offers huge potential to design quantitative surveys in a systematic, transparent way for any topic. However, Q2S is underdeveloped despite calls for more methodological testing. This paper is the first to compare the performance of four different Q2S approaches in terms of their feasibility, validity and reliability. The four Q2S approaches were: rating statements; ran…
Economic evaluation of participation in Community Led Organisations for individuals living in disadvantaged areas in the UK
This paper presents an economic evaluation of community-led and -owned organisations that deliver activities to support health and wellbeing. Because community-led organisations (CLOs) are a vital part of the social and solidarity economy, they increasingly feature in public health policies targeting disadvantaged populations. However, little is known about the value CLOs generate as few economic evaluations of them exist and those available focu…
From polarity to plurality
AIM: The aim of this study was to uncover perspectives on the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses implemented by the UK and Scottish Governments to help control the spread of infection. Such understanding could help to inform future responses to pandemics at individual, community and national levels. METHOD: Q methodology was used to elicit perspectives from people in England and Scotland with different experiences of the pandemic including publi…
A Realist Evaluation of Mechanisms and Contexts for Facilitating the Implementation of Supported Self‐Management in Community Stroke Care (The Impetus Study)
The past decade has seen a growing recognition of the role of supported self‐management in the provision of long‐term care and support for stroke survivors in primary and community care. However, its implementation and delivery across different contexts and models of community stroke care is inconsistent and patchy. This realist evaluation explored how and in which circumstances supported self‐management is enacted and delivered within community …
Men’s sheds as an alternative healthcare route? A qualitative study of the impact of Men’s sheds on user’s health improvement behaviours
Where male friendly health provision has been lacking, this study suggests how Men's Shed activities can provide positive male health outcomes, often in unexpected and non-obvious ways. In particular, the proposed visual pathways are important to inform policymakers and practitioners of the ways in that Sheds may contribute to engaging men in health improvement practices and increase their health knowledge. This study also provides a structure fr…

Men's Sheds
Although men have a lower life expectancy than women, and are more susceptible to illness, they have been found to be less likely to engage in health-seeking behaviour. Men's Sheds, as a gendered intervention, has been identified as an effective way to engage men in meaningful activity and gain social support from others. However, links between sheds and health and well-being are not well-documented, and evidence is lacking of the potential causa…
Are life-extending treatments for terminal illnesses a special case? Exploring choices and societal viewpoints
Criteria used by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to assess life-extending, end-of-life (EoL) treatments imply that health gains from such treatments are valued more than other health gains. Despite claims that the policy is supported by societal values, evidence from preference elicitation studies is mixed and in-depth research has shown there are different societal viewpoints. Few studies elicit preferences for polic…

OP14 Cost Effectiveness Analysis of Salt Reduction Policies to Reduce Coronary Heart Disease in Syria
Background Coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke account for approximately half of all-deaths in Syria. The country’s CHD mortality rate has escalated by nearly two-thirds between 1996 and 2006, partly reflecting substantial increases in systolic blood pressure (SBP). In high income countries, reduction of dietary salt intake represents a cost effective means of decreasing CHD events via reduced SBP levels. This study aims to assess the potenti…
OP13 An Economic Evaluation of Salt Reduction Policies to Reduce Cardiovascular Disease in England
Background Dietary salt intake has been causally linked to high blood pressure and increased risk of cardiovascular events. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes approximately 35% of total UK deaths, at an estimated annual cost of £30 billion with £14.4 billion spent on treating CVD per year. WHO and NICE have both strongly recommended dietary salt reduction. However, to implement more effective policies in future, UK policy makers will need robust…
The information‐related behaviour of emerging artists and designers
Purpose This paper aims to report an empirical study of the information‐related behaviour of emerging artists and designers. It also aims to add to understanding of the information behaviour of the group both as practising artists (a little understood category of information users), and also as “new practitioners”. Design/methodology/approach A literature analysis is used to guide creation of an online questionnaire, eliciting both qualitative an…
Teaching Environmental Ethics To Non-specialist Students
This paper outlines an approach to teaching environmental ethics to non-specialist students. The use of a "problem-solving" approach to ethical dilemmas is advocated as the most suitable vehicle for addressing the needs of non-specialists. This approach commences with a consideration of the existence of ethical dilemmas and of the different values that can account for the problems being contested. The approach then addresses the various methods b…
