A scoping review of occupational health education programs for music students and teachers
Embedding musicians’ occupational health training in music education curricula is widely recommended due to the well-documented high prevalence of performance-related health problems (PRHPs) among musicians across their lifespan. A scoping review was conducted to examine the range of evidence from implementations of musicians’ health education programs, regarding the maintenance of hearing, musculoskeletal, psychological, and vocal health, as wel…
What matters to people with memory problems, healthy volunteers and health and social care professionals in the context of developing treatment to prevent Alzheimer's dementia? A qualitative study
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is recognized as one of the greatest global public health challenges. There is increasing consensus that optimal disease modification using pharmaceuticals may best be achieved earlier in the disease continuum before symptoms occur. However, more needs to be understood about what outcomes are meaningful to potential participants in clinical trials within this preventative paradigm and how people make trade-off…
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
The sexual attitudes and lifestyles of London's Eastern Europeans (Sallee Project)
The SALLEE project has benefited from using quantitative research to provide generalisable data on a range of variables and qualitative research to add in-depth understanding and interpretation. The social mapping exercise successfully located a large number of CEE migrants for the community sample and is recommended for other migrant populations, especially when little or no official data are available for this purpose. The project has collected…
Characteristics of Gay and Bisexual Men Who Drop Out of a Web Survey of Sexual Behaviour in the UK
A Comparison of Item Non-Response in Web and Pen-and-Paper Surveys of Sexual Behaviour
Excluding respondents who fail to answer a question will reduce effective sample size. This weakens statistical power and creates problems for the creation of summative indicators, the analysis of multi-item scales and the application of multivariate techniques (Dickinson & Kirzner 1985). When item nonresponders differ systematically from responders on the variables of interest, item non-response will also lead to biased population estimates (Kup…
Contracted-Out’
In recent years that has been a revival of interest in the economic analysis of social institutions and market behaviour in developing economies. Whilst customary arrangements surrounding economic exchange were once treated as irrational or out?moded, they are now understood in terms of cost?minimization and risk?reduction by rational agents responding to imperfect market environments. This article attempts to scrutinize some of the claims of the…
Gender Issues in Rural Household Economics
Also, the internal logic of the economists' model obscures the significance of intrahousehold dynamics, especially gender relations, in influencing social and economic behaviour. This short paper attempts to show how these shortcomings in the economic model of the household, specifically the agricultural household, derive partly from its roots in neo-classical economic theory and partly from the general limitations of economic analysis in dealing…

Paired Reading Versus Relaxed Reading
S ummary . This study compared the effectiveness of two methods of parental involvement in the development of their children's reading. Each method was adopted with a group of 10 children who were sub‐divided with respect to whether their progress during the 6‐week project was monitored by home visit or telephone. The results suggest that both methods can lead to substantial improvement in reading ability. The failure to find a significant differ…
