Indoor Air Quality at Home—An Economic Analysis
Background : People with respiratory conditions are susceptible to health problems caused by exposure to indoor air pollutants. An economic framework was developed to inform a guideline developed by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to estimate the required level of efficacy necessary for an intervention to be cost-saving in dwellings across England. Methods: An economic modelling framework was built to estimate the increme…
How health inequalities accumulate and combine to affect treatment value
Access to health care for older people with intellectual disability
Whilst findings need to be considered with caution as the model was exploratory in that it was based on assumptions to overcome evidence gaps, they suggest that the way health systems deliver care for vulnerable populations might need to be re-examined. The work was carried out as part of a national guideline and informed recommendations about system changes to achieve more equal health care provisions
The cost-effectiveness of seven behavioural interventions to prevent drug misuse in vulnerable populations

Journalism programs working to stay current with industry practice often struggle to do so without forgoing traditional journalism skills and attributes. This longitudinal study involves content analysis of more than 1,800 jobs posted in either 2010 or 2015 by companies listed among the top 10 newspaper and broadcast journalism companies in the United States. The researchers found an increased demand for employee skills in social media and audien…
Network Theology
Recent years have seen a rush of new books seeking to help Christian audiences understand the ecology of digital media. Church leaders can now find texts to guide them through the construction of websites
Known Knowns, Known Unknowns, Unknown Unknowns
The authors present a case study examining the potential for policies to be “evidence-based.” To what extent is it possible to say that a decision to implement a complex social intervention is warranted on the basis of available empirical data? The case chosen is whether there is sufficient evidence to justify banning smoking in cars carrying children. The numerous assumptions underpinning such legislation are elicited, the weight and validity of…
How cost-effective is ‘No Smoking Day’
NSD emerges as an extremely cost-effective public health intervention
The Today Programme’s Contribution to Evidence-based Policy
Network News
The theory of incognizant racism posits that journalists cover the White community differently than communities of color, and the study's results indicate that this difference is also reflected in the choice and use of on-camera sources in network news stories. A quantitative content analysis of network news programs in 2005 revealed that Whites dominated television news coverage, comprising more than three quarters of sources. Nearly 90% of netw…
Years On
These data suggest that after 22 years No Smoking Day continues to be successful in reaching smokers. With a budget insufficient to pay for advertising, this public awareness campaign supported by local activities appears to be effective in helping smokers to stop
Impact of a telephone helpline for smokers who called during a mass media campaign
The Health Education Authority's advertising campaign was extremely successful in generating calls to the helpline. Very large numbers of smokers from diverse backgrounds, including the key groups highlighted in the UK government's recent proposals on tobacco, called the Quitline, which appeared to be very successful in helping these callers to stop smoking. For a single intervention to reach 4.2% of the total population of adult smokers in Engla…
The transfer of teaching and classroom observation skills across cultures
The Development of a Co-operative, Competitive, and Individualised Learning Preference Scale for Students
An important variable in the effectiveness of learning is the preference of the student for a mode of learning, i.e., co-operative, competitive, or individualised. A Learning Preference Scale is therefore an asset, both to teachers as they try to suit the mode of classroom activity to student preferences, and to researchers as they investigate the dynamics of learning, especially aptitude-treatment interaction. The Learning Preference Scale-Stude…
