Does gender influence the selection of vegetarian and meat meals and how does this affect environmental footprints of women and men
ACEs: Evidence, Gaps, Evaluation and Future Priorities
There is strong evidence linking adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and poor outcomes in adulthood both in terms of mental and physical health. Gaps in both the evidence base and research priorities still exist. These include understanding how to identify and assess risk in children who have experienced ACEs, and also the development and, importantly, the evaluation of interventions. Outstanding gaps include whether there are sensitive periods …
Effect of increasing the price of sugar-sweetened beverages on alcoholic beverage purchases: An economic analysis of sales data
BACKGROUND: Taxing soft-drinks may reduce their purchase, but assessing the impact on health demands wider consideration on alternative beverage choices. Effects on alcoholic drinks are of particular concern, as many contain similar or greater amounts of sugar than soft-drinks and have additional health harms. Changes in consumption of alcoholic drinks may reinforce or negate the intended effect of price changes for soft-drinks. METHODS: A partia…
Long-Term Worries after Colposcopy: Which Women Are at Increased Risk
One-week recall of health risk information and individual differences in attention to bar charts
Presenting personalised health risk information can support lifestyle decisions and help patients make informed choices about treatments. The way such information is presented can influence how well it is understood, and supplementary graphical representations have been shown to be helpful. However, there are little data on longer term recall of risk-related messages presented graphically and on the attention paid to graphics by those trying to i…

Non-response bias in prospective studies of patients and health care professionals
Low participation and high attrition rates in research studies may produce socially and psychologically biased study samples which limit the generalizability of findings. Although this problem is often acknowledged, published studies sometimes fail to assess and report non-response bias and make few efforts to prevent it. Two examples, one involving patients and another involving health professionals, are reported to illustrate the problem. The f…
Revealed identity: A Study of the Process of Genetic Counselling
The Place of Inter-Rater Reliability in Qualitative Research: An Empirical Study
Assessing inter-rater reliability, whereby data are independently coded and the codings compared for agreements, is a recognised process in quantitative research. However, its applicability to qualitative research is less clear: should researchers be expected to identify the same codes or themes in a transcript or should they be expected to produce different accounts? Some qualitative researchers argue that assessing inter-rater reliability is an…
A comparison of public and professionals' attitudes towards genetic developments
This study assesses the attitudes of the general public and of three professional groups to: genetic developments: the desired scope and availability of genetic testing in pregnancy; and decision-making about availability. Questionnaires were sent to 163 professionals and given directly to 973 members of the public by Gallup. Genetic developments were found to evoke both positive and negative feelings in all groups, but with the public being less…
Fear of animals: What is prepared
The present study examines one aspect of the concept of preparedness: what characteristics of animals humans are prepared to fear. Group I subjects (n = 64) rated how fearful they were of 29 small, harmless animals. Group II subjects (n = 49) made ratings of the perceptual characteristics of these same animals. Fear ratings were found to be significantly correlated with animal characteristics' ratings. It was suggested that preparedness to fear c…
