  • Delivering social and public health programmes through community arms of professional football clubs

    Open AccessJordan Maclean, Alair Maclean et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2025

    Community arms of professional football clubs have become key third-sector players in mitigating health and social inequalities. This paper examines the factors affecting their capacity for delivering social and public health programmes in the community setting. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 24 community staff members from the community arms of 22 professional football clubs and one non-professional club. This provided the basis …

    Open AccessAlair Maclean, Alice Maclean et al.ARTICLESSM - Qualitative Research in…2023

    This analysis of people's accounts of establishing their need and experiences of healthcare for long Covid (LC) symptoms draws on interview data from five countries (UK, US, Netherlands, Canada, Australia) during the first ∼18 months of the Covid-19 pandemic when LC was an emerging, sometimes contested, condition with scant scientific or lay knowledge to guide patients and professionals in their sense-making of often bewildering constellations of…

  • Fit for Life

    Open AccessAlair Maclean, Alice Maclean et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Fit for LIFE is a 10-week, group-based healthy lifestyle programme tailored for delivery to incarcerated men in prison gymnasia. Weekly 90-min sessions include informative and interactive 'classroom' activities followed by a practical physical activity training session, often with group activities. Fit for LIFE aims to help incarcerated men to: increase physical activity; reduce sedentary time; eat more healthily; and start and maintain using pri…

  • How men receive and utilise partner support when trying to change their diet and physical activity within a men’s weight management programme

    Open AccessSheela Tripathee, Helen Sweeting et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    These results highlight how interactions between men's resoluteness/reliance on cohabiting female partners and the partners' involvement impact the extent to which female partners influence men's changes to dietary practices and physical activity following a weight loss intervention. Understanding this interaction could increase the impact of health interventions aimed at one individual's behaviour by considering other family members' roles in fa…

  • Can professional football clubs deliver a weight management programme for women

    Open AccessChristopher Bunn, Craig Donnachie et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    In this evaluation, FFIT for Women was feasible, acceptable and demonstrated potential as a weight loss programme. Our findings suggest the programme has the potential to produce outcomes that are on a par with existing commercial and state-funded offerings

  • Do weight management programmes delivered at professional football clubs attract and engage high risk men? A mixed-methods study

    Open AccessKate Hunt, Cindy M Gray et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    The delivery of a weight management intervention via professional football clubs attracted men at high risk of ill-health. The setting enabled men to join a weight management programme in circumstances that felt 'right' rather than threatening to themselves as men. FFIT is an example of how to facilitate health promotion activities in a way that is consistent with, rather than challenging to, common ideals of masculinity

  • Symptoms of Mental Health Problems

    Open AccessAlair Maclean, Alice Maclean et al.ARTICLEChildren & Society2013

    Amidst concerns that young people’s mental health is deteriorating, it is important to explore their understandings of symptoms of mental health problems and beliefs around help seeking. Drawing on focus group data from Scottish school pupils, we demonstrate how they understood symptoms of mental health problems and how their characterisations of these symptoms as ‘rare’ and ‘weird’ informed participants’ perceptions that peers, teachers and pare…

  • Hopes for the Future

    Open AccessJeni Harden, Kathryn Backett‐milburn et al.ARTICLESociological Research Online2012Cited by: 3References: 21

    What do you want to be when you grow up?' is a question often asked of children yet little is known about how children and their parents think about their future in terms of employment. This paper, based on qualitative longitudinal research with 14 families, explores children's and parents' narratives about children's employment futures, illuminating the values, social relations and structures through which such narratives are formed. The paper r…

  • Observations from behind the bar

    Open AccessShona Hilton, Jane Cameron et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2008

    Smoke-free legislation is changing the social context of smoking in Scotland. Further research to assess the impact the legislation is having on older male smokers and on the incidence of drink spiking would be useful. More specifically, bar workers would benefit from guidance on how to manage issues arising from patrons moving outside to smoke
