Reducing Buprenorphine Misinformation as a Strategy to Improve Adoption in Primary Care
BACKGROUND: Buprenorphine is a highly effective medication for opioid use disorder, but it has not been widely implemented in primary care. Negative attitudes toward the medication are a well-known prescribing barrier. Health misinformation, a phenomenon which negatively informs attitudes and subsequent behavior, has been associated with lower willingness to treat OUD. Attitudinal barriers to buprenorphine prescribing may be due in part to misinf…

Science communication in action
Introduction Science festivals are a mechanism for connecting public audiences with science topics. Scholars have identified best practices for science communication (Peterman and Young, 2015), facilitating research on how and to what extent effective science communication occurs in the context of science festivals. Methods This mixed-methods evaluation case study centers the experiences of exhibitors (i.e., science communicators) at a large scie…
Youth and the materialities of the outdoors
Nature connection is considered beneficial for young people’s health and wellbeing and for developing pro-environmental behaviour, yet they display some of the lowest rates of access to nature spaces and levels of nature connectedness. Nature connection is often presented as synonymous with learning and formalised environmental education programmes represent the usual model for nature engagement interventions in youth. Evidence indicates, however…
Primary care professionals’ perspectives on tailoring buprenorphine training for rural practice
PURPOSE: Buprenorphine is a highly effective medication for opioid use disorder (OUD) that remains substantially underutilized by primary care professionals (PCPs). This is particularly true in rural communities, which have fewer prescribers and significant access disparities. The Drug Enforcement Administration removed the X-waiver requirement in December 2022, yet many rural clinicians still report barriers to prescribing buprenorphine. In this…
Nearby nature in lockdown
During the Covid-19 pandemic, urban green spaces provided a route to connect with everyday ‘nearby natures’. The paper explores the reconfiguration of leisure practices during restrictions, utilising theory on affordances and social practices to explore what people valued in urban green spaces and what can be learnt from a period when relationships with these spaces were in sharp focus. The study participants utilised Mobile Instant Messaging Dia…
Beyond transgression
The importance of regular participation in physical activity in youth has seen attention turn to the role of lifestyle sports. Existing research on lifestyle sports lacks consideration of young people’s use of green spaces and the approaches of managers to conflicts in these spaces. Young people’s experiences of leisure are closely tied to those who oversee their use of leisure spaces and this paper is a rare example of research that draws upon q…
Exploring veganism through serious leisure and liquid modernity
Understandings of leisure have progressed into a deep comprehension of the importance of intrinsic qualities that leisure creates for an individual choice and expression of self through food support the ‘modern’ paramount of personal choice and individuality. Food and dietary choices connecting to leisure and lifestyle mirror the conceptual framework of liquid modernity. The clarification of lifestyle offers an approach to explore veganism as a l…
Proximate tourists and major sport events in everyday leisure spaces
The local and the everyday provide a base resource for an individual to draw upon selectively in the reflexive construction of their leisure lifestyles. Through processes of tourism, however, these everyday spaces can become transformed into tourist products such as through the staging of major sports events. Research often recognises the social impacts sport tourism events can have on host communities yet assume homogeneity across these communit…
Getting Under the Skin
Eventscapes and the creation of event legacies
Attention is directed to the difference in event legacies created by mega-events which often cause dramatic physical changes in urban environments and those which accompany events which leave very little imprint on the landscape where they are held. The Tour Down Under cycle race, which is held annually in South Australia, is examined as an example of the latter. The spatial pattern of the event and the range of settings which support it are pres…
Questioning policy, youth participation and lifestyle sports
Young people have been identified as a key target group for whom participation in sport and physical activity could have important benefits to health and well-being and consequently have been the focus of several government policies to increase participation in the UK. Lifestyle sports represent one such strategy for encouraging and sustaining new engagements in sport and physical activity in youth groups, however, there is at present a lack of u…
We don't enjoy nature like that’
Jane Jacobs and ‘The Need for Aged Buildings’
Jacobs argued that grand planning schemes intending to redevelop large swaths of a city according to a central theoretical framework fail because planners do not understand that healthy cities are organic, spontaneous, messy, complex systems that result from evolutionary processes. She argued that a gradual pace of redevelopment would facilitate maintenance of existing interpersonal ties. This paper operationalises the concept of pace of developm…
Interpersonal discrimination and depressive symptomatology
As one of the first empirical attempts to examine the potential confounding role of personality characteristics in the association between reports of interpersonal discrimination and mental health, our results suggest that personality-related characteristics may serve as potential confounders. Nevertheless, our results also suggest that, net of these characteristics, reports of interpersonal discrimination are associated with poor mental health
Exploring Multiple Religious Identities through Mixed Qualitative Methods
This article offers a reflexive account of the process of researching religious identity with young people, and considers how combining methods may enable young people to explore their own identities in different ways. Drawing upon three participant case studies it explores the public–private spectrum produced as part of discussion groups, semi-structured interviews and an innovative online e-Journal research activity. As participants moved throu…
Cognitive function in the community setting
BACKGROUND: Existing research has found a positive association between cognitive function and residence in a socioeconomically advantaged neighbourhood. Yet, the mechanisms underlying this relationship have not been empirically investigated. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that neighbourhood socioeconomic structure is related to cognitive function partly through the availability of neighbourhood physical and social resources (eg, recreational f…
