Countering social exclusion through inclusive homecare provision
Homecare models can be effective mechanisms in securing wellbeing and ageing-in-place goals prevalent in health policy agendas. However, the relevance and utility of these models for those living in socially and environmentally insecure conditions has rarely been considered. This is marked by an assumption of in-situ care delivery in private dwellings, and the absence of such groups from homecare development processes. This study aims to harnesse…
Adolescent binge drinking in the West of Ireland
This study identifies individual and social environment factors associated with adolescent binge drinking in the West of Ireland. This can inform intersectoral action to protect adolescents from alcohol-related harm
Positive health and ageing policies for older Irish travellers and older people who have experienced homelessness in Ireland
Marginalised groups of older people remain neglected in positive health and ageing (PHA) agendas, whether they concern healthy or active ageing concepts. Questions exist around the meaning of such constructs and the factors that enable disadvantaged populations to achieve equitable later-life experiences. Focusing on two such groups in Ireland, this study investigates the constituent dimensions of PHA for older Irish Travellers and older people w…
Access to healthcare for people experiencing homelessness in the post-conflict society of Northern Ireland
Developing a tool for the measurement of social exclusion in healthcare settings
A tool for measuring the social exclusion of individuals has been developed by engaging with people from a variety of excluded groups. Socioeconomic indicators were combined with subjective items. The input of experts by experience, academics and others was sought to enhance the tool. The tool was applied to two distinct samples, showing obvious differences both in the socioeconomic items, and the items included in the factor analysis. The potent…
Life-Course Marginalities of Positive Health and Aging
There is increased emphasis on adopting positive health and aging policy goals for heterogeneous older populations, and recognition of the role that participatory research approaches can play in supporting their implementation. However, questions remain about how to represent the marginalized experiences of some older populations within such processes. With a focus on older Irish ethnic Travelers and older homeless adults as two vulnerable popula…
E-Cigarette-Only and Dual Use among Adolescents in Ireland
E-cigarette-only use and dual-use are emerging behaviours among adolescent nicotine product users which have not yet been sufficiently explored. This study examines the prevalence of, and the factors associated with, nicotine product use in adolescence. The study is a cross-sectional analysis of the 2018 Planet Youth survey completed by 15-16 year olds in the West of Ireland in 2018. The outcome of interest was current nicotine product use, defin…
Positive health among older Traveller and older homeless adults
Concepts related to positive health in later life are increasingly prevalent within community-based health and social care policy. With a greater emphasis on inclusion health for older populations, there is a critical need to understand the determinants of such states for those most at risk of societal disadvantage. Focusing on two such groups, the aim of this article is to synthesise international research on the life-course and structural deter…
Participatory Ethnographic Evaluation and Research
Many methodological approaches have been used to understand cultural dimensions to maternal health issues. Although a well-designed quantitative survey with a representative sample can provide essential information on trends in behavior, it does not necessarily establish a contextualized understanding of the complexity in which different behaviors occur. This article addresses how contextualized data can be collected in a short time and under con…
Why don't young women go for Chlamydia testing? A qualitative study employing Goffman's stigma framework
Many women who might be at risk of having the sexually transmitted infection (STI) Chlamydia trachomatis either delay going, or do not go, for testing. We aimed to examine the factors that either prevent or discourage Irish young women from going for Chlamydia testing. We conducted in-depth interviews with 35 women in the Republic of Ireland who were between 18 and 29 years of age. Accounts were analysed using Goffman’s stigma framework. Study re…
Young women's decisions to accept chlamydia screening
If an effort is not put into reducing young women's stigma-related concerns the population coverage of Chlamydia screening might be reduced
Chlamydia trachomatis infection and sexual behaviour among female students attending higher education in the Republic of Ireland
There are no prevalence data on Chlamydia trachomatis relating to female students attending higher education available for the Republic of Ireland. This information is required to guide on the necessity for Chlamydia screening programmes in higher education settings. This research aimed to determine the prevalence of and predictive risk factors for Chlamydia trachomatis genital infection among female higher education students in Ireland. All fema…
Intersectoral debate on social research strengthens alliances, advocacy and action for maternal survival in Zambia
The Health Promotion Research Centre of the National University of Ireland, Galway and the University of Zambia's School of Medicine conducted operational research to understand and address the socio-cultural and gender contexts of maternal survival. Together with an analytical policy and programming review and qualitative research, the project process also involved the convening of 'Interest Group' meetings involving intersectoral stakeholders a…
Before and after study of bar workers' perceptions of the impact of smoke-free workplace legislation in the Republic of Ireland
Smoke-free legislation had the support of three-quarters of a large sample of bar workers in the ROI. However, this group holds complex sets of both positive and negative perspectives on the legislation. Of particular importance is that negative economic perceptions did not diminish the widely held perception that the ban is needed to protect workers' health
Moving Away from "Failing Boys" and "Passive Girls
In this paper I argue that the move towards devolved modes of educational governance provides significant opportunities for feminist and pro-feminist constructionist research to impact on the types of “gender work” used by schools. Research-based understandings of gender in schools have been on the defensive in Australia and elsewhere for a decade, as demands for performative social justice policies coalesce with popular and governmental attentio…
Detection of Simulation on the Mpi by Subjects Given the Rationale of the Lie Scale
The MPI was administered to independent groups of 34 subjects under four sets of instructions. Group C was given the standard instructions, group FSI was asked to simulate a ‘desirable’ personality and told the rationale of the lie scale, group FSIE was given the FSI instructions plus examples of lie scale items and group FSIP was asked to simulate and was given a previously established ‘popular’ version of the rationale of lie scales. The three …
