  • Challenging school experiences of unavoidable absence and return for young people with chronic health conditions in English secondary schools

    Open AccessLauren Herlitz, Matthew A Jay et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2025

    Introduction School absences rates in England have remained high since the COVID-19 pandemic and reducing absence is a policy priority. Evidence shows that young people with chronic health conditions have higher school absence and worse educational outcomes. We examined the perspectives of young people, caregivers and school staff on school absence and return for English secondary school pupils with chronic health conditions. Methods We recruited…

  • Domestic abuse, primary care and child mental health services

    Open AccessClaire Powell, Olumide Adisa et al.ARTICLEChildren and Youth Services Review2024Referências: 1

Methods: We conducted a qualitative study, interviewing 38 professionals in three geographically cont…

  • The impact of area level mental health interventions on outcomes for secondary school pupils

    Open AccessSarah Cattan, S Tanya Lereya et al.ARTICLEEconomics of Education Review2023

    In light of the dramatic rise in mental health disorders amongst adolescents seen in the past decade across the world, there is an urgent need for robust evidence on what works to combat this trend. This paper provides the first robust evaluation of the impacts on school outcomes of 6-year funding programme (HeadStart) for area-level mental health interventions for adolescents. Exploiting educational administrative data on ten cohorts of state-ed…

  • Child maltreatment and parental domestic violence and abuse, co-occurrence and the effect on lifetime outcomes in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC)

    Open AccessKevin Herbert, Qin Xi et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2023

    Exposure to child maltreatment (CM), and parental domestic violence and abuse (DVA), impose considerable adverse life outcomes in both the short and long term, yet, the extent and effects of their co-occurrence on outcomes have not been comprehensively quantified. This study describes the analysis of data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, quantifying the prevalence of CM, parental DVA, co-occurrence rates, and the impact o…

  • Using administrative data to evaluate national policy impacts on child and maternal health

    Emma Stewart, Sinead Brophy et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2023Referências: 23

    Reducing health inequalities by addressing the social circumstances in which children are conceived and raised is a societal priority. Early interventions are key to improving outcomes in childhood and long-term into adulthood. Across the UK nations, there is strong political commitment to invest in the early years. National policy interventions aim to tackle health inequalities and deliver health equity for all children. Evidence to determine th…

  • Characteristics of enrolment in an intensive home-visiting programme among eligible first-time adolescent mothers in England

    Open AccessFrancesca L Cavallaro, Ruth Gilbert et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2022Referências: 34

    BACKGROUND: Intensive home visiting for adolescent mothers may help reduce health disparities. Given limited resources, such interventions need to be effectively targeted. We evaluated which mothers were enrolled in the Family Nurse Partnership (FNP), an intensive home-visiting service for first-time young mothers commissioned in >130 local authorities in England since 2007. METHODS: We created a population-based cohort of first-time mothers aged…

  • Metaphors of migration in the East End imaginary

    Ruth GilbertARTICLEJewish Culture and History2019

    This article focuses on the metaphors at play in the construction of Brick Lane and its surrounding locale. It deconstructs the metaphors and mythologies which form an East End imaginary in order to explore points of friction. Rather than reading Brick Lane as a location that exemplifies a seamless and inevitable vertical sequence, in which each group of successive immigrants arrives, adapts and then moves on, the article explores the more horizo…

  • Jewish ghosts

    This article explores the Jewish ghost motif in Shalom Auslander’s novel, Hope (2012). In particular, it focuses on the Holocaust and its ongoing reverberations within Jewish consciousness The ghost that incites the narrative is Anne Frank, reimagined by Auslander as an aged revenant who is discovered in the attic of an upstate New York home. Drawing from the work of Stephen Frosh, Susan Shapiro, and Avery Gordon, my analysis looks at matters of …

  • Factors associated with influenza vaccine uptake during a universal vaccination programme of preschool children in England and Wales

    Pia Hardelid, Greta Rait et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2016Referências: 29

    INTRODUCTION: Influenza vaccination through primary care has been recommended for all preschool children in the UK since 2013 as part of a universal immunisation programme. Vaccination is required annually and effectiveness varies by season. Factors associated with influenza vaccine receipt and those for other childhood vaccines may therefore differ. METHODS: We used The Health Improvement Network, a large primary care database, to create a cohor…

  • 'Genes, Shmenes'

    Ruth GilbertARTICLEEuropean Judaism2014

    Adam Thirlwell's contention that 'Jewish is always half-Jewish' is provocative. Whilst themes of not belonging are central to much Jewish writing, Thirlwell's claim effectively dismisses the idea that there could ever be a wholly Jewish identity. To the extent that all identities are arguably provisional, constructed and contingent, this might be the case. However, there is a danger that Thirlwell's contention is not entirely playful. The implica…

  • Contribution of respiratory tract infections to child deaths

    Open AccessPia Hardelid, Nirupa Dattani et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    RTI-related deaths have not declined in the last decade except in infants. Targeted strategies to prevent the winter excess of RTIs and to treat RTIs in children, particularly children with chronic conditions, may reduce RTI-related deaths

  • Vulnerable Family Meetings

    Open AccessJustin Woodman, Ruth Gilbert et al.ARTICLESocial Sciences2014Referências: 4

    This study uses observations of team meetings and interviews with 17 primary care professionals in four GP practices in England to generate hypotheses about how “vulnerable family” team meetings might support responses by GPs to maltreatment-related concerns and joint working with other professionals. These meetings are also called “safeguarding meetings”. The study found that vulnerable family meetings were used as a way of monitoring children o…

  • My Big Fat Jewish TV Dinner

    Ruth GilbertARTICLEJewish Film & New Media An…2014

    Sue Vice opens her reading of Jack Rosenthal's Bar Mitzvah Boy (BBC 1) by recalling the effect of first watching the play on television in 1976. She notes how exceptional it was as television play about Jewish life in Britain presented in an explicit and unapologetic way-Yiddish, Hebrew, lokshen pudding and all.1 Like Vice, I also remember watching that play, as Jewish child growing up in outer London in the 1970s. Alongside its presentation of r…

  • Developing services for a public health approach to child maltreatment

    Ruth Gilbert, Justin Woodman et al.ARTICLEThe International Journal of…2012

    Calls for a public health approach to child maltreatment – a strategy that aims primarily to reduce risk factors for maltreatment - have been based on four main arguments. (O’Donnell et al . 2008; Reading et al. 2009; Barlow and Calam, 2011) The right of children to be protected from harm in the first place. The frequency of child maltreatment, which, if all occurrences were notified, would overwhelm child protection systems. The inaccuracy of id…

This article will explore the ways in which these questions are debated within a range of contemporary Jewish literature. The article concludes that contemporary British-Jewish writers highlight the desire to identify the particularity of their difference, whilst acknowledging…
