Lay perceptions of diabetes mellitus and prevention costs and benefits among adults undiagnosed with the condition in Singapore
T2D risk communication needs to be addressed in emotionally impactful and interpersonally salient ways to increase the urgency to adopt preventative behaviours. Shifting perceived benefits from long-term disease prevention to short-term observable wellbeing could reduce the response cost of healthy eating
An Overview of Commercially Available Apps in the Initial Months of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Introduction: It has been 4 months since the discovery of COVID-19, and there have been many measures introduced to curb movements of individuals to stem the spread. There has been an increase in the utilization of web-based technologies for counseling, and for supervision and training, and this has been carefully described in China. Several telehealth initiatives have been highlighted for Australian residents. Smartphone applications have previo…
Community case managers' challenges collaborating with primary care when managing complex patients in the community
Community case managers (CCMs) play a crucial role in the continuity of care for complex patients in the community. However, they are often considered as non-members of the healthcare team and not actively engaged by the primary care team because of the unique landscape of social services in Singapore. Given that these two distinct professional groups had minimal collaboration previously, integrating CCMs as partners of patient care within the pr…
Experiences of doctors working in Singapore’s public primary healthcare clinics
Despite providing 20 percent of primary healthcare and a larger proportion of care for patients with chronic conditions, little is documented about working in public primary healthcare clinics in Singapore. While previous studies of primary care physicians' occupational stress focused on burnout, this study explores broader personal, professional and organisational factors affecting their experiences. It examines factors influencing doctors worki…
Perspectives on public involvement in health research from Singapore
BACKGROUND: Singapore is an international research hub, with an emphasis on translational clinical research. Despite growing evidence of the positive impact of public involvement (PPI) in research, it remains rare in Singapore. AIMS: To investigate Singaporean public perspectives around the rationale, role and scope for being involved in health research To identify the potential, challenges, facilitators and strategies for implementing PPI in Sin…
Gamified M-Health Attention Bias Modification Intervention for Individuals with Opioid Use Disorder
Introduction : Globally, there is an epidemic of opioid use disorders. Locally, in Singapore, there is an increase in the number of individuals abusing opioids. The advances in experimental psychology have highlighted the need to modify unconscious, automatic biases. These automatic, unconscious biases result in individuals having preferential attention to substance-related cues in their natural environment, thus leading to a slip or relapse back…
Challenges When Evaluating Cognitive Bias Modification Interventions for Substance Use Disorder
In recent years, advances in experimental psychology have led to a better understanding in automatic, unconscious processes, referred to as attentional and approach biases amongst individuals with substance use disorders. Attentional biases refer to the relatively automatic tendencies for attention to be preferentially allocated towards substance-related cues. Whereas, approach bias refers to the relatively automatic behavioral tendencies of indi…
Temporal and textual analysis of social media on collective discourses during the Zika virus pandemic
Our study demonstrates the temporal and content differences between user groups and social media platforms in social media conversations during the Zika pandemic. It suggests that future research should examine the collective discourse of a health event by investigating social media discourses within varied sources rather than focusing on a singular social media platform and by one particular type of users
Researchers' perspectives on public involvement in health research in Singapore
BACKGROUND: Singapore is becoming a world-class research hub, promoting the advancement of patient care through translational clinical research. Despite growing evidence internationally of the positive impact of public involvement (PPI), in Singapore PPI remains unusual beyond patient participation as subjects in studies. OBJECTIVE: To explore health researchers' understandings of the principles, role and scope of PPI, and to identify barriers an…
Variations in the Visual Probe Paradigms for Attention Bias Modification for Substance Use Disorders
Advances in experimental psychology have provided evidence for the presence of attentional and approach biases in individuals with substance use disorders. Traditionally, reaction time tasks, such as the Stroop or the Visual Probe Task, are commonly used in the assessment of attention biases. The Visual Probe Task has been criticized for its poor reliability, and other research has highlighted that variations remain in the paradigms adopted. Howe…
Enhancing the Quality and Utility of Content Analyses for Addictive Disorders
The advances in Mobile Health (M-health) technologies has led to an increase in the numbers of alcohol and drugs applications on the commercial stores. Content analyses and reviews of applications to date have demonstrated that most of these applications are for entertainment or information purposes. More recent content analyses have identified common behavioural change techniques in substance applications. Nevertheless, there remain several limi…
A systematic review of the effectiveness of interventions using the Common Sense Self-Regulatory Model to improve adherence behaviours
This systematic review assessed the effectiveness of the Common Sense Self-Regulatory Model in the design of interventions to improve adherence behaviours. Of nine eligible studies, six reported improvements in adherence behaviours and three showed moderate to large effects on return to work and lifestyle recommendations. Four studies stated how Common Sense Self-Regulatory Model constructs were addressed in the intervention and five measured ill…
The Effects of Expressive Writing on Lung Function, Quality of Life, Medication Use, and Symptoms in Adults With Asthma
OBJECTIVES: Asthma is a chronic condition affecting 300 million people worldwide. Management involves adherence to pharmacological treatments such as corticosteroids and β-agonists, but residual symptoms persist. As asthma symptoms are exacerbated by stress, one possible adjunct to pharmacological treatment is expressive writing (EW). EW involves the disclosure of traumatic experiences which is thought to facilitate cognitive and emotional proces…

Attitudes of UK doctors to intimate examinations
Medical culture has portrayed intimate examinations as important in maintaining the sexual and reproductive health of patients. Intimate examinations have also been at the centre of high-profile scandals. Existing literature suggests there is considerable heterogeneity in the use of intimate examinations, as influenced by underlying attitudes. This study sought to ask how doctors make decisions to perform intimate examinations and negotiate the e…
‘Certaine women brokers and peddlers’
Chapter Four moves beyond the London book trades, investigating those women who operated outside London or contested the rights and privileges of the Stationers’ Company. The opening section details the women who sought and won printing privileges and patents, while the rest of the chapter moves from social location to the particular topographies of the book trades, charting London stationers’ sales networks, the activities of peripatetic saleswo…
Regulating Body Boundaries and Health during the Second World War
This article examines the intersections of gender, wartime nationalist rhetoric and the production of ‘healthy’ and ‘unhealthy’ bodies in both the Canadian workplace and the home during the Second World War. Analysing government, industry and media discourses in relation to oral history interviews with thirty‐eight women aircraft workers, we discuss women's distinctive role in shaping the health and morale of the social body during wartime, to en…

Home sampling kits for sexually transmitted infections
The increasing prevalence of sexually transmitted infection (STI) and delays in access to sexual health care among men who have sex with men are a major public health concern in the UK. This qualitative study, involving semi-structured interviews with 24 men recruited from a genitourinary medicine clinic in Brighton, UK, explored their views towards the introduction of home sampling kits for STI into clinical practice. Participants had previously…

Experiences of end-of-life care in community hospitals
Concerns remain that health and social care services often fail people dying of chronic illnesses other than those with cancer. British government policy aims to improve end-of-life care and to enable people to make choices about place of care near the end of life, with the assumption that home is often the preferred option. However, some elderly people may lack suitable social networks, family carers and other resources to remain at home. Commun…
The introduction of integrated out‐of‐hours arrangements in England
Objective To establish which generic attributes of general practice out‐of‐hours health services are important to the public. Methods A discrete choice experiment postal survey conducted in three English general practitioner (GP) co‐operatives. A total of 871 individuals aged 20–70 years registered with a GP. Outcomes were preferences for, and trade‐offs between: time to making initial contact, time waiting for advice/treatment, informed of expec…
Inequalities in survival from colorectal cancer

Neglected victims of homicide
Fifteen children, aged 7-18 years, were interviewed an average of five months after the murder of an older sibling. Although most showed significant symptoms of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and psychosocial impairment, few had received any community or mental health system support or services for these symptoms. Specific problems and needs are identified, and implications for research and practice are discussed
