How effective is public health policy in Scotland on vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy
Objective: To evaluate the uptake of universal vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy, its effectiveness in preventing vitamin D deficiency and the factors associated with these. Design: The regional public health organisation in Ayrshire, Scotland has a policy of universal provision of vitamin D supplements (10 μg/d) to all pregnant women for the duration of their pregnancy. Pregnant women in this area were recruited at their 12-week antenat…
An evaluation of adherence to folic acid supplementation in pregnant women during early gestation for the prevention of neural tube defects
Objective: Neural tube defects (NTD) are potentially preventable by periconceptual folic acid supplementation. Women with obesity are at higher risk of NTD, therefore, are recommended a higher dose of 5 mg folic acid to mitigate this risk. The aim of this study was to evaluate maternal practice of folic acid supplementation amongst the antenatal population in relation to maternal obesity status. Design: Prospective observational study. Setting: W…
Intervening in the cycle of poverty, poor housing and poor health: The role of housing providers in enhancing tenants’ mental wellbeing
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: Developing an empirically-informed realist theoretical framework
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: Examining impacts on social and private rented sector tenants in Scotland
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…
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…
Infant feeding in relation to eating patterns in the second year of life and weight status in the fourth year
Objective To explore associations of early infant feeding with (i) eating patterns in the second year of life and (ii) weight status in the fourth year of life in a prospective cohort of children in Scotland. Design Growing Up in Scotland (GUS) longitudinal birth cohort study (2005–2008). Setting Scotland, UK. Subjects Children aged 9–12 months ( n 5217) followed through to 45–48 months. Results Infant feeding was associated with eating patterns,…
