‘Why don’t we just build it in a square hole?’
Background In England, the rise in young people/adults’ drug use coincides with a decline in specialist outreach and support services. Current substance use provision particularly neglects young adults. This paper traces the origins of the multi-component ‘1625 Outreach’ model and how it was developed and refined by utilizing community engagement and co-production approaches.Methods The co-produced, qualitative research design included observatio…
Tackling hospital service burden of alcohol dependence in England
Background Chronic alcohol disorder hospital admissions are increasing in England and present a huge cost to England’s health and social care costs. Hospital-based alcohol care teams (ACTs) aim to better meet these patients’ complex needs through assessment and targeted referral. This has the potential to work effectively within England’s newly established integrated care system.Methods The aim of this project was to identify in what ways ACTs ca…
Towards a Dignified Death
There are no effective intervention studies for people using substances who are at, or near, the end of their lives. The needs of this group of people have been consistently overlooked even within the literature that identifies marginalised groups of people in need of greater recognition in palliative and end-of-life care. The aims of the project were to: (i) determine what a new, co-produced, model of care should look like for people using subst…
The Lloyd's Register archive
This research note presents the findings of an appraisal of the archives of Lloyd's Register recently undertaken by researchers from Blaydes Maritime Centre at the University of Hull. Funded by the Lloyd's Register Foundation, the aim of this project was to assess the character, extent and evidential quality of a rich yet underutilized assemblage of records relating to shipping and vessel safety from the late eighteenth century. After discussing …
Substance Use, End of Life Care and Multiple Deprivation
Experiences of Anabolic Steroid Use
This study was designed to investigate anabolic steroid users' experiences of, and motivations for, use. Five men and six women users took part in in-depth interviews. Four themes emerged: Steroid Use vs Abuse; Side-effects; Trusted Information Sources; and Social Pressure. Many users believed that steroids used in moderation were safe. Serious side-effects (liver and kidney damage, hypertension) were not significant disincentives. Information fr…
Femininity and muscularity
In this study, we interviewed an opportunity sample of seven women body builders, who all compete (or have competed in the past) in Physique-level body building competitions. They were asked about training details, and motivations for body building including social pressures to become more muscular (and not to become more muscular). Women’s accounts were complex and in some cases apparently contradictory, for while emphasising freedom to choose t…
Motivations for Anabolic Steroid use Among Bodybuilders
Steroid use is increasing, in parallel with rising concerns about body image. This study aimed to uncover bodybuilders' motivations for using steroids using 135 questionnaires completed by readers of two bodybuilding magazines. The analyses reveal a polarization of beliefs about steroids between users and non-users. Steroid users were less likely to be concerned about the physical side effects, and many believed that steroids are not harmful in m…
Policing domestic violence
In February 1992 Nottinghamshire Constabulary introduced domestic violence registers to all of its police stations as part of an initiative to improve the policing of violence in the home. The registers recorded information about the violent incident, personal details of the parties involved, and the nature of police action. This article presents findings from the first two years' existence of one such register in a police station in Nottingham, …
