An Assessment of Oral Health Training in Obstetrical Care in Massachusetts
Use of a Living Lab Approach to Implement a Smoke-Free Campus Policy
While universities have increasingly become tobacco-/smoke-free, to our knowledge, no campus has reported 100% policy compliance. Innovative approaches to encourage compliance and ongoing data collection are needed. This paper describes actions undertaken, framed within a Living Lab (LL) approach, to implement smoke-free campus policies in an Irish university. The action research comprised student-collected data on observed smoking on campus to e…
Strategies for integrating the Making Every Contact programme for the prevention and management of chronic disease across Irish Health Service
Introduction: The Irish Health Service Executive (HSE) Making Every Contact Count (MECC) Programme1 aims to integrate lifestyle behaviour interventions by health professionals to patients targeting health behavioural risk factors (e.g. physical activity, diet, smoking and drug and alcohol use. The MECC programme (implemented since 2019) is a key element of the Integrated care programme for the prevention and management of Chronic disease in Irela…
Early career researchers’ thoughts on academic careers
A 2015 Society for Social Medicine and Population Health (SSM) survey1 of early career researchers (ECRs) highlighted several challenges faced, including job insecurity, limited academic career development opportunities, and a lack of mentorship. Based on these findings, SSM introduced ECR workshops and networking events, a mentoring scheme, and publicised job and funding opportunities. To evaluate progress on these issues, we surveyed ECR member…

The Effects of Different Smoking Patterns in Pregnancy on Perinatal Outcomes in the Southampton Women’s Survey
Maternal smoking during pregnancy has established associations with poor perinatal outcomes. Among continuing pregnant smokers, harm-reduction strategies have been suggested, including temporary cessation of smoking during pregnancy, also known as partial quitting. Support for this strategy, however, remains limited. Six hundred and ninety-seven women in the Southampton Women's Survey who smoked at their last menstrual period were categorised int…
Association of human papillomavirus vaccination with exposure to dental or medical visits
No difference in association between vaccination and medical or dental healthcare exposures suggests that oral health professionals might partner in promotion of positive health behaviors, including HPV vaccination. The type of provider did not affect the outcome as per this study
Examining total and domain-specific sedentary behaviour using the socio-ecological model – a cross-sectional study of Irish adults
The results of this study provide a starting position for development of targeted interventions aimed at the most sedentary, such as males with sedentary occupations in higher socio-economic groups and education levels, those with insufficient levels of physical activity and who live in an urban location
Barriers and facilitators to adoption, implementation and sustainment of obesity prevention interventions in schoolchildren– a Dedipac case study
Successful implementation and scale up of public health anti-obesity interventions in schools is dependent on good contextual fit, engagement and leadership at multiple levels and secure funding. Recommendations to overcome barriers include: capacity to deliver within an already overcrowded curriculum and clear specification of intervention components within a conceptual framework to facilitate evaluation. Our findings are generalisable across di…
Implementation of a Calorie Menu Labeling Policy in Public Hospitals
Background: Promotion of good nutrition is essential for reducing the risk of chronic disease and premature death. Evidence shows menu labeling interventions should be implemented in workplaces as part of a comprehensive approach to improve employees' dietary habits; however, implementation challenges have arisen. This article describes a protocol for a multiple case study to explore the factors that impact on implementation of a calorie menu lab…
Views of policy makers and health promotion professionals on factors facilitating implementation and maintenance of interventions and policies promoting physical activity and healthy eating
Despite considerable heterogeneity of interventions and health policies in the five countries, stakeholders across these countries identify similar factors facilitating adoption, implementation, and maintenance of these interventions and policies
Patterns of Smoking Behaviour in Low-Income Pregnant Women
Maternal smoking accounts for 20%-30% of low birth weight (BW). Second-Hand Smoke (SHS) also negatively affects BW. This cohort study explored the differential effect of smoking patterns during pregnancy on infant BW. Smoking status for 652 self-reported smokers attending public ante-natal clinics was assessed at baseline (V1 first ante-natal visit), 28-32 weeks (V2) and one week after birth (V3). Multivariable generalised linear regression model…
The influence of ethnicity on breastfeeding rates in Ireland
BACKGROUND: Historically, breastfeeding rates in Ireland have been low compared with international averages. It has been suggested that maternal ethnicity and citizenship may influence breastfeeding rates, with ethnic minorities thought more likely to breast feed. AIM: The aim of this study is to investigate the association among maternal citizenship, ethnicity, birthplace and breast feeding. It is hypothesised that Irish mothers (identified thro…
Development of a pediatric cariogenicity index
The liquid cariogenicity index has potential in research and clinical settings to provide a liquid cariogenicity score and help quickly identify modifiable risk factors within a child's diet. Further research is needed to test its utility in clinical and public health settings
PP15 National Longitudinal Study of the Nutritional Habits of Adults with an Intellectual Disability - Analysis of Baseline Data
Background Adults with intellectual disability (ID) are known to have poor dietary habits and high rates of obesity. This population is thus at high risk for developing chronic conditions. Moreover, the process of de-institutionalisation is changing the way adults with ID are leading their lives and as this is a more recent phenomenon the effects of more independent living on dietary habits are largely unknown. This study provides a detailed acco…

Maternal smoking accounts for 20–30% of low birth weight infants (<2,500g), the most common adverse outcome in pregnancy. The objective of this study was to explore the effects of maternal smoking habits: stopping smoking in the first and second trimesters, continuing to smoke, number of cigarettes smoked and socio-demographic factors on infant birth …
Socioenvironmental characteristics associated with the onset of decline of ischemic heart disease mortality in the United States
The relation of community socioenvironmental characteristics to timing of the onset of decline of ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality was investigated among the 507 State Economic Areas of the continental United States. Onset of decline was measured using data for White men aged 35-74 and classified as early (1968 or before) vs late (after 1968). Ten socioenvironmental characteristics derived from US Census Bureau data were strongly related to…
Geographic variation in the onset of decline of ischemic heart disease mortality in the United States
This report examines geographic variation in the onset of the decline of ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality in white males aged 35-74 during the period 1968-78. Using a quadratic regression model, State Economic Areas (SEAs) were classified as experiencing onset of the decline in 1968 or earlier, 1969-72, or 1973 or later. In the United States as a whole, approximately one-third of SEAs experienced a late onset of the decline (after 1968). Me…
