Evaluating the social return on investment of nature-based social prescribing to alleviate loneliness
Introduction: Loneliness is associated with adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular diseases, depression, and premature mortality, and is unequally distributed according to social determinants. Prescribing individuals to community-based interventions in nature, often described as nature-based social prescribing (NBSP), has emerged as a promising intervention to address loneliness. This study aims to quantify the social return of investm…
Connecting evidence with decision-making in adult social care
For adult social care organizations faced with growing challenges, an increasingly important issue is how best to make use of relevant research. This article reports on a survey that sought to assess the views, experiences, and use of research among adult social care staff in three neighboring local authorities in England. Findings In total, 250 staff (30% response rate) across all grades and areas of practice responded to the survey. Staff expre…
What Influences the Use of Research by the Adult Social Care Workforce
Despite a recognition that research evidence plays a critical role in informing decisions in adult social care, there has been little investment in developing the sector’s own capacity to engage with it. This article reports on a qualitative study of the adult social care workforce (social workers, occupational therapists, managers and commissioners) in three local authorities in England. Data were collected through twenty-five semi-structured in…
The Place of Research in the Professional Identity of Practitioners and Managers in Adult Social Care
The nature of professional identity in the roles of practitioners in social care is not clearly defined. This article uses baseline data from a study seeking to increase the use of research in decision‐making within adult social care to discuss the role of research in the professional identity of social care practitioners. Semistructured interviews were completed with 25 members of staff working in adult social care in the UK, employing purposive…

En conséquence des restrictions de Covid-19 pour l’enseignement en face à face, une activité de micro-enseignement a été développée pour les professeurs stagiaires. Le micro-enseignement est une activité dans laquelle les élèves-…
Outcome harvesting as a methodology for the retrospective evaluation of small-scale community development interventions
PURPOSE: Undertaking evaluations of public health interventions can be problematic, particularly where there are multiple stakeholders and high degrees of complexity. This is especially true with regards to the evaluation of community interventions that can include multiple actors with differing priorities, budgets and resources. Using the example of a place-based community wellbeing project, this paper discusses the practical application of 'Out…
Microgrants as a pathway for community development
Microgrant schemes are used in many contexts relevant to community development, but there are few detailed accounts of their operation and effects. This study explored a four-year microgrant scheme in Bristol, UK. The research analyzed 141 awards and collected qualitative and quantitative data on 233 individuals. The research found that the diversity of activities, local embeddedness, skills and capacity development, social connection and volunte…
How educational staff in European schools reform school food systems through ‘everyday practices’
Schools are recognized as important locales for education and action to change food-related environmental and health behaviours. Research shows the potential for a whole school systems approach to integrate educational activities, food in school, and wider food-related interactions. However, little attention has been given to how theory is put into practice in terms of reforming school food practices in the everyday routines and commitments of sc…
Priorities for social science and humanities research on the challenges of moving beyond animal-based food systems
Increasingly high-profile research is being undertaken into the socio-environmental challenges associated with the over-production and consumption of food from animals. Transforming food systems to mitigate climate change and hidden hunger, ensure food security and good health all point to reducing animal-based foods as a key lever. Moving beyond animal-based food systems is a societal grand challenge requiring coordinated international research …
Disabled young people’s hopes and dreams in a rapidly changing society
The idea that disabled young people should be at the centre of decision making about their future is promoted in policy, practice and research, yet this often translates into a narrow agenda on transitions through service and benefits systems. In this project, we aimed for an expansive exploration of disabled young people’s hopes and dreams in the context of unprecedented societal changes. Co-production methods brought academics, members of a Cen…
Prelude to the Skybolt Crisis
The speech delivered by U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara on 16 June 1962 at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor is often cited for its significance in the enunciation of U.S. nuclear strategy, but the speech also featured passages decrying the existence of separate, national nuclear forces within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. This article concentrates on the latter dimension of the speech by examining the context of McNa…
Inter-sectoral Transfer of the Food for Life Settings Framework in England
Organisational settings such as schools, workplaces and hospitals are well recognised as key environments for health promotion. Whilst there is extensive literature on specific types of settings, little empirical research has investigated the transfer of frameworks between sectors. This study analyses Food for Life, an England-wide healthy and sustainable food programme that evolved in schools and is being adapted for children's centres, universi…
Association between Food for Life, a Whole Setting Healthy and Sustainable Food Programme, and Primary School Children’s Consumption of Fruit and Vegetables
The promotion of dietary health is a public health priority in England and in other countries. Research shows that the majority of children do not consume the recommended amount of fruit and vegetables (F&V). There has been relatively little research on the impact of programmes, such as Food for Life, that (a) integrate action on nutrition and food sustainability issues, and (b) are delivered as commissions in a local authority area. The study so…
Journalism, Intelligence and the N ew Y ork T imes
This article examines the tensions brought to the relationship between two of the major figures of post‐war A merican journalism, C yrus L . S ulzberger and H arrison E . S alisbury, during the late 1970s by the accusation that S ulzberger had been a long‐standing ‘asset’ of the CIA . The relentless efforts of Salisbury to pursue the story during the research for his 1980 book Without Fear or Favor , which dealt with the recent history of the N e…

The Role of Community Centre-based Arts, Leisure and Social Activities in Promoting Adult Well-being and Healthy Lifestyles
Developed countries are experiencing high levels of mental and physical illness associated with long term health conditions, unhealthy lifestyles and an ageing population. Given the limited capacity of the formal health care sector to address these public health issues, attention is turning to the role of agencies active in civil society. This paper sought to evaluate the associations between participation in community centre activities, the psyc…
Anxiety and containment in the risk society
The Radford Bombshell
This article looks at the emergence of nuclear planning assumptions within the South East Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) during the mid-1950s. It does so by examining US strategic concepts for the defence of the treaty area, and the ways these produced major problems for the Australian Government as it switched the emphasis in its defence policy toward a permanent commitment of forces to the South East Asian mainland. At the same time, Britain …
