Impact of rural‐urban residence and deprivation on care pathways for depression disorders among adults in the UK
PURPOSE: To investigate how rurality shapes individual care pathways and health outcomes for depression and to investigate the sociodemographic and economic relationships with urban-rural variations. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study using routinely collected data from adult patients diagnosed for depression and registered at a general practice in Lincolnshire in the UK. Access and time to access from the onset of depression symptoms to the f…
Exploring mental health emergencies attended by ambulances in rural England during the Covid-19 pandemic
Ambulance data offer novel insight into the mental health impacts of the pandemic in rural areas, which are typically underrepresented in health service use data. This research involved a retrospective observational study of all records of patients experiencing mental health emergencies attended by ambulances in the East Midlands of the United Kingdom between March 11 and December 31, 2020, and patients in regions classified as “rural towns” and …
Community efforts to promote vaccine uptake in a rural setting: A qualitative interview study
Vaccine hesitancy has been identified as one of the top 10 threats to global health. The causes of low vaccine uptake are many and vary at micro and macro levels. However, rural and remote coastal areas in the UK experience unique vaccine inequalities due to high levels of deprivation and their unique and complex access-related problems. This study aimed to explore community efforts to promote vaccine uptake during the COVID-19 pandemic and under…
An early warning precision public health approach for assessing Covid-19 vulnerability in the UK: The Moore-Hill Vulnerability Index (MHVI)
The MHVI identifies regions with known high rates of poor health outcomes prior to the pandemic that case rates or mortality rates alone fail to identify. Pre-hospital early warning measures could be utilised to prevent mortality during a novel pandemic
Exploring the Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Male Mental Health Emergencies Attended by Ambulances During the First National “Lockdown” in the East Midlands of the United Kingdom
The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and associated mitigation strategies such as “lockdown” are having widespread adverse psychological effects, including increased levels of anxiety and depression. Most research using self-reported data highlights the pandemic’s impact on the psychological well-being of females, whereas data for mental health emergency presentations may reflect the impact on male mental health more accurately.…
Characterizing Unusual Spatial Clusters of Male Mental Health Emergencies Occurring During the First National Covid-19 “Lockdown” in the East Midlands Region, UK: A Geospatial Analysis of Ambulance 99…
The widespread psychological effects of contagion mitigation measures associated with the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are well known. Phases of “lockdown” have increased levels of anxiety and depression globally. Most research uses methods such as self-reporting that highlight the greater impact of the pandemic on the mental health of females. Emergency medical data from ambulance services may be a better reflection of male mental h…

Nutrition and oral health in early childhood: Associations with formal and informal childcare
Objective: To examine associations between childcare type and nutrition and oral health indicators. Design: Cross-sectional data extracted from a longitudinal birth cohort. Parent-completed FFQ and questions regarding oral health and childcare use. The associations between childcare type, classified into four groups: parent care only (PCO), formal childcare only (FCO), informal childcare only (ICO) or combination of care (F&I), and nutrition and …
Diabetes and oral health (DiabOH): A developing model of integrated care
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)
Breaking down the barriers: A qualitative study to understand child oral health in refugee and migrant communities in Australia
This culturally competent qualitative study explores the sociocultural factors influencing child oral health in refugee and migrant communities. Understanding and acknowledging these factors are a prerequisite to determining where and how to intervene to improve oral health. Furthermore, it has implications for both dental and non-dental health professionals working to reduce health inequalities within such communities
Splash: A prospective birth cohort study of the impact of environmental, social and family-level influences on child oral health and obesity related risk factors and outcomes
This research will provide a unique contribution to integrated health, education and social policy and program directions, by providing clearer policy relevant evidence on strategies to counter social and environmental factors which predispose infants and children to poor health, wellbeing and social outcomes; and evidence-based strategies to promote health and prevent disease through the adoption of healthier lifestyles and diet. Further, given …
The VicGeneration study - a birth cohort to examine the environmental, behavioural and biological predictors of early childhood caries: Background, aims and methods
There is currently a lack of research describing the natural history of early childhood caries in very young children, or exploring the interactions between risk and protective factors that extend to include contemporary measures of socio-behavioural factors. This study will generate knowledge about pathways, prevalence and preventive opportunities for early childhood caries, the most prevalent child health inequality
