A Phenomenological Exploration of Families’ Experiences of the Mental Health System of Care in the Monadnock Region
Parents of Non-binary Children
Parents of non-binary children undergo profound changes as they learn to first understand and then support their child. The question guiding this study was: what are the stories parents of non-binary children tell about how they came to understand and affirm their child? This narrative study provides a definition of non-binary gender, a review of peer-reviewed literature on therapy with children and adolescents who identify as transgender or non-…
Vaccine Coverage among Children with and without Intellectual Disabilities in the UK
Children with intellectual disabilities in the UK are at increased risk of vaccine preventable diseases. This may jeopardise their own health, the health of younger siblings and may also compromise herd immunity
The association between non-standard employment, job insecurity and health among British adults with and without intellectual impairments
We sought to investigate the association between employment conditions and health among working age British adults with and without intellectual impairments. Using data from the 1970 British Cohort Study, we undertook a series of cross sectional analyses of the association between employment conditions and health (self-reported general health, mental health) among British adults with and without intellectual impairments at ages 30, 34 and 42. Our…
Sexual activity and sexual health among young adults with and without mild/moderate intellectual disability
Most young people with mild/moderate intellectual disabilities have sex and are more likely to have unsafe sex than their peers. Education and health services need to operate on the assumption that most young people with mild/moderate intellectual disabilities will have sex
The association between employment status and health among British adults with and without intellectual impairments
The results provide substantive evidence to suggest that the nature of the well-established association between employment and better health is similar for British adults with and without intellectual impairments. The results do, however, indicate that the magnitude of the effect involved differed. Further research is needed to identify mechanisms that may underlie this difference
The physical health of British adults with intellectual disability
The 'hidden majority' of adults with primarily mild intellectual disability who do not use intellectual disability services have significantly poorer health than their non-disabled peers. This may, in part, reflect their increased risk of exposure to well established 'social determinants' of poorer health
Obesity in British children with and without intellectual disability
Children with intellectual disability are a high-risk group for the development of obesity, accounting for 5-6 % of all obese children. Interventions to reduce the prevalence and inequities in the distribution of child obesity will need to take account of the specific situation of this group of children
Disablement and Health
In this chapter we address what is known about the nature and determinants of the health inequalities faced by disabled people. First, we discuss the nature of the association between health and disability. Second, we briefly review what is known about the (poorer) health status of disabled people. Third, in the main part of this chapter, we discuss some of the processes that may link disability and health. Finally, we conclude by identifying the…
Obesity and health behaviours of British adults with self-reported intellectual impairments
People with intellectual disabilities should begin to be regarded as a 'vulnerable' group in the context of public health policy and practice
Perceptions of neighbourhood quality, social and civic participation and the self rated health of British adults with intellectual disability
This study provides evidence to suggest that the health inequalities experienced by people with intellectual disabilities may be partially attributable to their less favorable perceptions of important neighborhood characteristics and lower levels of social and civic participation
Short Break and Respite Services for Disabled Children in England
Researchers, health and social care workers often seek to understand the perspectives of children; but gathering views directly from children can present difficulties. Parents are often asked to provide accounts of children's feelings or opinions on the assumption that their proxy reports are accurate and unproblematic. This qualitative thematic analysis of open‐question responses from 352 parents and 73 disabled children examines their accounts …
A Break from Caring for a Disabled Child
‘Short breaks’ is a term used in England to refer to a range of services for disabled children, many of which used to be known as respite. Recent legislation in England requires local authorities to provide family carers of disabled children with breaks so that they can continue to care. This qualitative study explored the perceptions of twenty-five parents whose children accessed short breaks. We performed a thematic analysis of data obtained fr…
Do short break and respite services for families with a disabled child in England make a difference to siblings? A qualitative analysis of sibling and parent responses
The Impacts of short break provision on families with a disabled child
There are widespread assumptions about the potential impacts of short breaks on family carers and disabled children. This review aims to evaluate the existing international research evidence concerning the impacts of short breaks on families with a disabled child. Electronic literature searches were conducted using ASSIA, PsycInfo, CINAHL, and Web of Science, and requests for information were sent to selected email lists. Of 60 articles or report…
Stuart London and the idea of a royal capital city
Charles I and James I developed ambitious plans for London to serve as the ‘capital city’. These schemes clashed with Londoners' understandings of their city. Royal proposals to reshape Dublin, York, and Edinburgh managed to do more, but the wider expectations for London are shown in the echoes of London in the new colonial capitals established across the Atlantic in the 1620s and 1630s. With the Civil Wars, royal views of London changed and were…
