‘I have to think about what’s next’
Psychological well-being and self-management are essential for university students, particularly for international students facing additional challenges. Humour is under-explored as a strategy in cross-cultural university settings. We explored how domestic and international students perceive and self-manage their psychological well-being, focusing on humour. Drawing on the extended Common-Sense Model, semi-structured interviews were conducted wit…
Incidence of physical non-communicable disease in people who have experienced imprisonment compared with the general population in high-income countries
Several NCDs, including multiple cancers, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and liver disease, are substantially more common in people who have experienced imprisonment compared with the general population, highlighting a need for primary prevention and NCD management
Baseline characteristics of people experiencing homelessness in the PHOENIx community pharmacy multicentre pilot randomised controlled trial
People experiencing homelessness (PEH) are amongst the most marginalised populations in the society. Despite facing extreme health inequalities and poorer outcomes than the general population, they are under-represented in clinical trials. Little is hence known about the physical, mental health and social characteristics of PEH as clinical trial participants. Cross-sectoral complex interventions aiming to mitigate health, wellbeing and wider ineq…
Pharmacy Homeless Outreach Engagement Non-medical Independent Prescribing Rx (PHOENIx) Community Pharmacy-Based Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aiming to address the multiple health and social challenges of people experiencing homelessness (PEH) are lacking. Here we report the findings from a multicenter, open, pilot RCT. The intervention involved independent prescriber pharmacist from the National Health Service working on outreach in partnership with dedicated workers from Homeless Voluntary Charity or Social Enterprises (HVCSEs) (Pharmacist and thir…
Fundamental causation and candidacy
This paper aims to better understand how structural determinants of health inequalities shape disengagement from healthcare for vulnerable groups across a range of social conditions. Using a sub-sample (N = 20) from a qualitative interview UK study of those missing from primary-care, it illuminates how structural drivers of health inequalities operate at organisational and practice levels to weaken engagement with primary-care. Finding ways of be…
Patient and Public Involvement in Research Evaluating Integrated Care for People Experiencing Homelessness
INTRODUCTION: There is a paucity of research on and a limited understanding of patient and public involvement (PPI) in the context of research in homelessness and, in particular, direct involvement of people with lived and living experience of homelessness (PEH) as expert advisors. We aim to report on outcomes and reflections from lived experience advisory panel (LEAP) meetings and PPI activities, held throughout the study lifecycle of a pilot ra…
There’s No Hope for Any Kind of Decent Life’
The past ten years has seen a marked increase in the numbers of people experiencing homelessness globally and an associated public health epidemic of drug-related deaths. Drawing from qualitative interviews as part of a wider pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT) conducted in Glasgow, Scotland with National Health Service pharmacists and third sector homeless outreach caseworkers, insights from those with living experience of both homelessness …
A systematic review of the effect of stigma on the health of people experiencing homelessness
Pharmacist led homeless outreach engagement and non-medical independent prescribing (Rx) (PHOENIx) intervention for people experiencing homelessness
Feasibility testing of the PHOENIx intervention suggests merit in a subsequent pilot RCT
Is there a link between childhood adversity, attachment style and Scotland’s excess mortality? Evidence, challenges and potential research
Attachment processes are a fundamental part of human development, and have a profound influence on adult personality and behaviour, especially in response to stressors. Many studies have also shown that childhood adversity is correlated with adult morbidity and mortality. The interplay between childhood adversity and attachment is complex and not fully elucidated, but will include socio-economic, intergenerational and psychological factors. Impor…
