User Testing of Information Materials Developed for the Australian National Lung Cancer Screening Program: A Qualitative Study
INTRODUCTION: The Australian National Lung Cancer Screening Program commenced in July 2025. This study aimed to explore the views of community members and the health workforce on the content, language, design and presentation of the draft information materials developed for the general population and health workforce. METHODS: Semi-structured interviews and focus groups were conducted between September and October 2024. Community members potentia…
Implementing HPV self-collection: A scoping review of facilitators and strategies among Indigenous women and people with a cervix
Indigenous peoples in high-income settler-colonial countries experience disproportionately high cervical cancer incidence and mortality compared to non-Indigenous populations, reflecting systemic inequities and barriers to culturally safe care. HPV self-collection offers a potential solution to overcoming inequities by enabling women and people with a cervix to collect their own sample, improving autonomy, privacy, and access, and supporting cult…
‘ Why Didn't I Get That Choice?’: A Qualitative Exploration of How Cervical Screening Choices Are Understood and Experienced by Screen‐Eligible People in Australia, Two Years After Self‐Collection Bec…
BACKGROUND: Australia's human papillomavirus (HPV)-based National Cervical Screening Program guidelines state that anyone eligible for screening should be offered a choice of using self-collection or clinician collection for initial screening. AIM: To explore the awareness and experiences of women and people with a cervix who have been screened since this choice became available in July 2022. METHODS: Semi-structured online or telephone interview…
Understanding the mechanisms underlying the socioeconomic disparities in cancer screening among Australian women
This study is the first to investigate the effects of individual level SES on cancer screening in Australia and one of the few studies to examine underlying mechanisms simultaneously across various screening programs. Reducing stress and improving screening literacy may help to improve cancer screening participation among low SES individuals. Our results also suggest that tailoring interventions to the SES background of women may not enhance thei…
Cross-sectional study of the associations between circulating vitamin D concentrations and insulin resistance in children aged 9–10 years of South Asian, black African Caribbean and white European ori…
BACKGROUND: Lower circulating vitamin D 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations are associated with higher type 2 diabetes risk in adults, although causality remains uncertain. However, associations between 25(OH)D and type 2 diabetes risk markers in children have been little studied, particularly in ethnic minority populations. We examined whether 25(OH)D concentrations were associated with insulin resistance in children and whether lower 2…
Variations in accelerometry measured physical activity and sedentary time across Europe – harmonized analyses of 47,497 children and adolescents
Improving the healthcare response to domestic violence and abuse in primary care: Protocol for a mixed method evaluation of the implementation of a complex intervention
This is the first interrupted time series analysis of an intervention to improve the health care response to domestic violence. The findings will characterise the impact of IRIS implementation outside a trial setting and its suitability for national implementation in the United Kingdom
Comparisons of depression, anxiety, well-being, and perceptions of the built environment amongst adults seeking social, intermediate and market-rent accommodation in the former London Olympic Athletes…
The Examining Neighbourhood Activities in Built Living Environments in London (ENABLE London) study provides a unique opportunity to examine differences in mental health and well-being amongst adults seeking social, intermediate (affordable rent), and market-rent housing in a purpose built neighbourhood (East Village, the former London 2012 Olympic Athletes' Village), specifically designed to encourage positive health behaviours. Multi-level logi…
OP81 Not Eating Breakfast is Associated with increased Type 2 Diabetes Risk Markers in a Multiethnic Population of Children: The Child Heart and Health Study in England (CHASE)
Background Prevention of type 2 diabetes and one of its precursor obesity are important public health priorities both in adults and in children. In adults, not eating breakfast regularly has been associated with increased risks of obesity and possibly type 2 diabetes. However, little information is available on the influence of breakfast consumption on type 2 diabetes risk markers in children. We therefore examined the relations between self-repo…
Ethnic differences in carotid intima media thickness and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity are present in UK children
Background There are marked ethnic differences in cardiovascular risk in UK adults; South Asians have high coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke risks while black African-Caribbeans have high stroke risks and low CHD risks when compared with white Europeans. Ethnic differences in cardiovascular risk factors are apparent in childhood, but ethnic differences in vascular structure and function during childhood have been little studied. We measured…
P2-222 Risk markers for coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes in childhood: Comparison of Indian children living in India and the UK
Introduction UK Indian adults have higher risks of coronary heart disease (CHD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) than Indian and UK European adults. With growing evidence that CHD and T2D risks begin before adulthood, we compared risk factor patterns in Indian children living in India and the UK. Methods We compared markers of adiposity and cardiometabolic risk in 9–10 year-old Indian children in the Mysore Parthenon birth cohort study, India (n=538) an…
P2-324 Ethnic differences in cardiovascular risk in childhood: Comparison of UK south Asian, African-Caribbean and European children
Introduction UK South Asian adults have high risks of coronary heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes (T2D) when compared with Europeans; UK African-Caribbeans have high risks of stroke and T2D and low coronary heart disease risks. With growing evidence that cardiovascular disease risks begin before adulthood, we compared risk factor patterns and vascular disease markers in UK children from these ethnic groups. Methods We conducted a school-ba…
Ethnic differences in type 2 diabetes risk markers in children in the UK are not explained by socio-economic status: Child Heart and Health Study in England
Objectives To examine the influence of socio-economic position on type 2 diabetes risk markers in different ethnic groups and determine whether differences in socio-economic position can explain ethnic differences in type 2 diabetes risk. Design Cross-sectional survey of children in 200 primary schools in London, Birmingham and Leicester (Child Heart and Health Study England, or CHASE) in which standardised anthropometric and fasting blood measur…
Family Dog Ownership and Levels of Physical Activity in Childhood: Findings From the Child Heart and Health Study in England
Dog ownership is associated with higher physical activity levels in adults; whether this association occurs in children is unknown. We used accelerometry to examine physical activity levels in 2065 children aged 9 to 10 years. Children from dog-owning families spent more time in light or moderate to vigorous physical activity and recorded higher levels of activity counts per minute (25; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 6, 44) and steps per day (357…
Nutritional composition of the diets of South Ssian, black African Caribbean and white European children in the UK: The Child Heart and Health Study in England
