  • Community perspectives on health needs and assets in underserved Dublin areas

    Open AccessEunice Phillips, Sally Griffin et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2026

    Health inequalities, deeply connected to broader social determinants such as unemployment, inadequate housing, and limited access to healthcare and essential services, remain a global concern. These factors disproportionately impact socioeconomically underserved communities, even in high-income countries. In Ireland, similar disparities are evident within urban areas. Although policy and practice increasingly promote community participation, ther…

  • Health literacy in Ireland

    Open AccessMaeve Murray, Stephen Behan et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2025

    Low levels of health literacy have been consistently found in Ireland. Little is known about the contextual development of health literacy in Irish community settings, especially those identified as most deprived where improved health literacy can support better health outcomes.

Data was analysed using content analy…

  • Understanding disadvantaged adolescents’ perception of health literacy through a systematic development of peer vignettes

    Open AccessHannah Go, Hannah R Goss et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    As guided by the Ophelia framework, the use of authentic, interactive and participatory research methods, such as the co-creation of vignettes, is particularly important in groups that are underserved by traditional research methods.

  • Communities of Care and Caring

    Open AccessRobert Wei, Robert Weis et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2003Citada por: 3Referencias: 27

    Can a health-care website stimulate its members to become a `community of care and caring', facilitating both medical `information' and personal `support'? This study of MSWatch.com provides conceptual distinctions about `ties' to a `community' and raises questions about communications designed to serve patients with Multiple Sclerosis. An online survey of members of the website shows that members tend to: (1) make use of both its health-care inf…
