NoLo drinks and pregnancy
Background No- and low-alcohol (NoLo) products are promoted as harm-reduction alternatives to standard alcohol, but their role in pregnancy is unclear. We examined pregnant and recently pregnant women’s perceptions of NoLo-related harm, how perceptions relate to drinking, and women’s information preferences.Methods A cross-sectional mixed-methods online survey, completed by 515 UK women, who were currently/recently pregnant. Participants rated ha…
Navigating No Recourse to Public Funds and NHS maternity charging
In the UK, many migrant women are subject to the No Recourse to Public Funds condition, which restricts access to welfare and can result in liability for maternity care charges, contributing to poverty, delayed care, and health inequities. This mixed-methods study examined health and social care professionals’ knowledge, confidence, resources, and training needs when supporting women with this status during pregnancy and early motherhood. Focus g…
An Ecological Momentary Assessment Study of Fluctuations in Inhibitory Control and Its Predictive Validity of Alcohol Use
Introduction Inhibitory control is associated with reports of alcohol use in cross-sectional and lab-based research. In the current study we investigated inhibitory control using an ecological momentary assessment paradigm to investigate ‘in-the-moment’ relationships with alcohol consumption and other factors (e.g., location, craving, emotions) in the real-world. We hypothesized that fluctuations in inhibitory control throughout the day would pre…
Effectiveness of Alcohol Use Disorder Pharmacotherapies by Sex
The role of poverty-related social determinants in maternal and perinatal health inequities

Everyday discrimination in individuals seeking treatment/receiving support for substance use and caregivers
Courtesy stigma is commonly reported in caregivers to those who seek treatment for substance use, which may have negative consequences. A greater focus on those with caregiver responsibilities may positively benefit these individuals and the care they provide
Comparing the impact of feedback on excess calories and physical activity calorie equivalent (Pace) information on consumer behaviour in an online hypothetical restaurant setting
Information provision interventions to improve nutrition in the out-of-home food sector include providing calorie information at point of choice. Supplementary approaches also include providing feedback on physical activity calorie equivalent information (PACE) and/or the extent to which food orders exceed calorie guidelines. However, minimal research has compared the impact these different supplementary approaches have on consumer behaviour. Our…
Exploring women’s views toward no-lo alcohol products during pregnancy
Background Pregnancy encompasses a period of socially expected and medically advised abstinence from alcohol. The UK has one of the highest rates of alcohol exposed pregnancies globally. ‘Non-alcoholic and low alcohol’ (NoLo) drinks may provide a viable means to support abstinence or harm reduction. We explore women’s views towards NoLo products including consumption barriers and enablers.Methods We conducted 18 semi-structured photo-elicitation …
Impact of alcohol strength on attitudes and decisions concerning special occasion drinking during pregnancy
Perceived harm, and the ability to apply the potential harms of drinking during pregnancy to one's own circumstances, may be crucial in reducing the risk special occasions pose to alcohol exposed pregnancies. Public health campaigns should focus on facilitating this, compassionately explaining the risk of harms across a range of drinking behaviours, while explicitly tackling the stigma and shame women may experience around this public health issu…
Maternal and early childhood health and social outcomes of migrants in high-income countries and the impact of policies that restrict access to healthcare; a systematic review and meta-analysis
Migrant women and children face mixed maternal and child health outcomes in HICs • Emergency caesarean, low Apgar, and perinatal mental health risks are elevated • Restrictive healthcare policies may contribute to adverse perinatal outcomes • Evidence from countries with inclusive policies and on child health is limited • Further research is needed to inform equitable care and policy for migrant families The “healthy migrant effect” suggests migr…
The Associations among Perceived Courtesy Stigma, Health and Social Behaviours in Family Members and Friends of People Who Use Substances
Background: the stigma and discrimination experienced by individuals with an alcohol/substance use disorder often extends to the family members and friends who provide care, which is known as courtesy stigma. this courtesy stigma can lead to isolation, poor mental health and might impact the quality-of-care these individuals provide. the aim of this study was to examine the frequency of experienced courtesy stigma/discrimination in individuals in…
Hazardous, harmful, and dependent alcohol use in healthcare professionals
Food-related attentional bias and its associations with appetitive motivation and body weight
Point of choice kilocalorie labelling in the UK eating out of home sector
It is rare for eating out and takeaway chains in the UK to provide point of choice kcal labelling and when labelling is provided it does not adhere to recommended labelling practices. Chains that previously volunteered to provide kcal labelling as part of an industry and public health partnership do so inadequately. Voluntary policies have not resulted in adequate kcal labelling in the UK eating out of home sector
Research Note
This paper is an overview of the work and perspective of the Child and Woman Abuse Studies Unit at the University of North London between 1987 and 1997. It has involved much summarizing and selection, and inevitably means some areas have been neglected, others emphasised. Rather than offer a bland outline of the work we have done, we have chosen to use this opportunity to reflect on and analyse the contribution of CWASU to feminist approaches to …
