The media playbook for food taxes
Analysis of media coverage of food tax debates is limited, with most focusing on taxation of sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs). This study explored UK media coverage of food tax debates, extending beyond SSBs to other food products. We investigated trends in print and online news media coverage and how the UK media presented anti- and pro-tax arguments. A mixed-methods content analysis of eight UK news publishers between 2017 and 2023 was undertak…
Hidden in plain sight
Over the past decade, the food environment has changed dramatically. One significant change has been the evolution of online delivery, which has increasingly become associated with so-called ‘dark kitchens’ – catering operations that only offer food for home delivery. These come in many different guises. This article reviews existing evidence and the potential impacts for local communities and planning. Like much of the gig economy, the jobs crea…
Co-located Heroin Assisted Treatment within primary care
This exploratory study highlights the potential for innovative harm reduction interventions such as HAT, co-located with primary care services, to improve healthcare access and engagement for a high-risk population. Increased uptake of primary healthcare services translated to reductions in emergency healthcare use and associated costs. Although costs of HAT provision are substantial, the notable cost-savings in health care should be an important…
Measuring the association between the opening of a new multi-national restaurant with young people's eating behaviours
Out-of-home eating (takeaway, take-out and fast-foods) is associated with intakes of higher energy and fat, and lower intakes of micronutrients, and is associated with excess weight gain. In 2017, a unique opportunity arose to measure the association between the opening of a new multi-national fast-food restaurant (McDonald's) and consumption of fast-food on young people aged 11–16. This study uses a repeated cross-sectional design to explore gro…
More than just ‘free heroin’
Despite some operational complexities, health care providers viewed HAT as an effective method of engaging a high risk population with drug treatment services, with holistic benefits for clients over and above the treatment of opioid dependency. Findings will inform advocacy and innovation for future HAT interventions in England
An analysis of food and beverage advertising on bus shelters in a deprived area of Northern England
Objective: To quantify the extent of food and beverage advertising on bus shelters in a deprived area of the UK, to identify the healthfulness of advertised products, and any differences by level of deprivation. The study also sought to assess the creative strategies used and extent of appeal to young people. Design: Images of bus shelter advertisements were collected via in person photography (in 2019) and Google Street View (photos recorded in …
Bottom of the Pile”
In-work poverty (IWP), a growing problem in the United Kingdom, describes being in employment but having financial resources close to thresholds associated with poverty. IWP is associated with poorer health behaviors. We examined why people experiencing IWP may exhibit poorer health behaviors. Experiences of six individuals with whole-household IWP in North East England, were elicited using inductive reflexive thematic analysis with semi-structur…
Perceptions of Eastern European migrants in an English village
Since 2004 significant numbers of post-accession EU migrants have arrived in regional towns and rural areas of England to live and work: places that are unaccustomed to large-scale in-migration. These recent migration patterns mean that new intercultural encounters are taking place in a number of provincial and ‘out of the way’ places [Nayak 2011 Nayak, A. 2011. “Geography, Race and Emotions: Social and Cultural Intersections.” Social and Cultura…
Feasibility and acceptability of a Takeaway Masterclass aimed at encouraging healthier cooking practices and menu options in takeaway food outlets
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the Takeaway Masterclass, a three-hour training session delivered to staff of independent takeaway food outlets that promoted healthy cooking practices and menu options. Design: A mixed-methods study design. All participating food outlets provided progress feedback at 6 weeks post-intervention. Baseline and 6-week post-intervention observational and self-reported data were collected in h…
Searching and synthesising ‘grey literature’ and ‘grey information’ in public health
BACKGROUND: Grey literature includes a range of documents not controlled by commercial publishing organisations. This means that grey literature can be difficult to search and retrieve for evidence synthesis. Much knowledge and evidence in public health, and other fields, accumulates from innovation in practice. This knowledge may not even be of sufficient formality to meet the definition of grey literature. We term this knowledge 'grey informati…
Translating and Transforming Care
This article examines how the Disability Living Allowance claim form, used in the United Kingdom to allocate £13 billion of disability benefits, translates and transforms disability and care. Twenty-two people with acquired brain injury and their main informal caregivers ( n = 44) were video-recorded filling in the disability claim form. Participants disagreed on 26% of the questions, revealing two types of problems. Translation problems arose as…

Glory Be to Gaia
The caregiving bind
Disagreements and misunderstandings between informal caregivers and care-receivers have been widely reported, but the causes are unclear. The present article compares the views of people with acquired brain injury and their main informal caregivers (28 dyads, n = 56). First, we report a quantitative analysis finding that the majority of disagreements were about caregivers' identity. Caregivers saw themselves as less confident, less intelligent, m…

Moving between frames
Research on the dialogical self has tended to emphasize instability over stability. Grossen and Salazar Orvig (2011) show how norms, values, material objects, and institutions feed into the stability of the self. We expand upon this contribution by introducing Goffman’s (1974) concept of “frames” to theorize both stability and instability. Social interactions do not begin with individuals but with socially given and pre-existing cultural-historic…

Classical Literary Careers and their Reception
This is a wide-ranging collection of essays on ancient Roman literary careers and their reception in later European literature, with contributions by leading experts. Starting from the three major Roman models for constructing a literary career - Virgil (the rota Vergiliana), Horace and Ovid - the volume then looks at alternative and counter-models in antiquity: Propertius, Juvenal, Cicero and Pliny. A range of post-antique responses to the ancie…

Language Policies as Virtual Reality
In 1991, language policy in Australia turned from a commitment to pluralism to a divisive prioritisation of literacy and selected Asian languages. This article explores that shift in the context of the general question of how to approach language policy analysis. Cooper's (1989) descriptive framework claims to offer a method for studying language policies, which I argue has serious flaws. I then consider some insights from the wider social scienc…

Women Sociologists in the Midwest
In this article, an earlier study of the status of academic women sociologists in the Midwest that was extended to 1984–1985 is discussed. Type of appointment, rank, and chairpersons, as well as position in a Ph.D. rather than an M.A. program were used in the study as indicators of employment status. Midwest Sociological Society (MSS) leadership positions and participation in the annual MSS meeting served as indicators of professional participati…
