Barriers and Facilitators of NHS Health Checks in Socioeconomically Deprived Communities in the North East of England
INTRODUCTION: Preventive health services, such as the NHS Health Check programme, aim to identify and address key health risks, yet participation is particularly low in socioeconomically deprived areas, such as the North East of England. Understanding barriers and facilitators to engagement is critical to improving access and outcomes for these communities. This study aimed to explore barriers and facilitators to NHS Health Check attendance in th…

Bridging the gap between research evidence and its implementation in public health practice
Embedded researchers build and maintain relationships with practitioners and other stakeholders to produce research. Evidence from the co-produced research informs future practice and research to improve service and delivery rendered to the public. Thus, embedded researchers use their role to bridge the research evidence - implementation gap in public health practice
Piloting Eyes on the Baby
We describe the coproduction, pilot implementation, and user evaluation of an evidence‐based training intervention addressing prevention of Sudden Unexpected Deaths in Infancy (SUDI) for the multiagency workforce supporting vulnerable families with babies in a northern English county. We aimed in this pilot study to improve knowledge, skills, and engagement of professionals and support staff providing services for vulnerable families with increas…
Brief interventions to prevent excessive alcohol use in adolescents at low-risk presenting to Emergency Departments
While drinking levels remained low in this population, this trial found no evidence that PFBA with or without eBI was more effective than screening alone in reducing or delaying alcohol consumption
A qualitative study of health promotion in academy schools in England
In the current absence of national policy or guidance around health promotion in schools, health has variable status in academies in England. There is a need to better engage all academy trusts in health promotion and support them to implement a strategic approach to health promotion
Attitudes and Learning through Practice Are Key to Delivering Brief Interventions for Heavy Drinking in Primary Health Care
In this paper, we test path models that study the interrelations between primary health care provider attitudes towards working with drinkers, their screening and brief advice activity, and their receipt of training and support and financial reimbursement. Study participants were 756 primary health care providers from 120 primary health care units (PHCUs) in different locations throughout Catalonia, England, The Netherlands, Poland, and Sweden. O…

Assessing the delivery of alcohol screening and brief intervention in sexual health clinics in the north east of England
It is possible to embed alcohol screening into routine practice within sexual health services however further work is required to embed brief interventions particularly amongst increasing risk drinkers. If resources are limited, services may consider more targeted rather than universal alcohol screening to specific population groups. The study was undertaken in one GUM service in the North East of England and therefore findings may not be general…

Victim Evaluations of Face‐to‐Face Restorative Justice Conferences
One major goal of face‐to‐face restorative justice (RJ) is to help heal the psychological harm suffered by crime victims ( Braithwaite, 2002 ). Substantial evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) has shown that this can be accomplished ( Strang, 2002 ) and more trials are underway ( Sherman & Strang, 2004 ). These outcomes are even more clearly, if less rigorously, demonstrated through retrospective interviews of victims about their fee…
