Influencing Factors for the Acceptability of Accessing HIV Pre‐exposure Prophylaxis via Community Pharmacies in Wales
Open AccessDavid Gillespie, Adam Dale Newman Williams et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2025
INTRODUCTION: HIV prevention methods, such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), have been a significant contributing factor to a global decline in HIV transmission. PrEP has been available through the NHS in Wales since 2017. However, access is exclusively via sexual health clinics, and those accessing PrEP do not reflect those being diagnosed with HIV. Widening access beyond sexual health clinics may be one approach to encourage more equitable up…
Perceptions of the Impact of Comorbidity on the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme
Open AccessDelyth Price, Kate Brain et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2024
INTRODUCTION: The impact of multiple health conditions on bowel cancer screening is currently unknown. We explored the impact of multiple health conditions on bowel cancer screening perceptions, experience and clinical management decisions following a positive stool test. METHODS: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted remotely with Bowel Screening Wales staff (n = 16) stratified by regional location and role and with screening par…
Psychometric Properties of an Adapted Stigma Scale and Experiences of Stigma Associated with HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Use Among Men Who have Sex with Men
Open AccessDavid Gillespie, Adam Williams et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2023
Stigma may influence the use of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). However, there is an absence of robust measures for PrEP-related stigma. We describe an adaptation of a HIV stigma scale for use in PrEP users and experiences of PrEP users in Wales (UK) with regards to PrEP-related stigma. A mixed methods study was conducted where PrEP users completed questionnaire items about PrEP-related stigma and a subset were interviewed about their experi…
Experiences of men who have sex with men when initiating, implementing and persisting with HIV pre‐exposure prophylaxis
Open AccessDavid Gillespie, F Wood et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2022
INTRODUCTION: HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) involves the use of antiretroviral medication in HIV-negative individuals considered to be at risk of acquiring HIV. It has been shown to prevent HIV and has been available in Wales since July 2017. Measuring and understanding adherence to PrEP is complex as it relies on the simultaneous understanding of both PrEP use and sexual activity. We aimed to understand the experiences of men who have sex …
The relationship between HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, sexually transmitted infections, and antimicrobial resistance
Open AccessAdam Dale Newman Williams, Fiona Wood et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022
There is a belief that PrEP use will lead to an increase in STI rates through reduced condom use, despite reported behaviours often being stable in relation to PrEP initiation, PrEP stigma may be influencing this dichotomy. Concern and awareness for resistant STIs is low, with little association to PrEP
Changing sexual behaviours amongst MSM during the Covid-19 restrictions in Wales
Open AccessAdam Williams, Adam Dale Newman Williams et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022
The COVID-19 pandemic and associated restrictions had a significant impact on sexual behaviours among MSM in Wales, with the majority fully adhering to the lockdown rules. Although the population were largely compliant with the lockdown restrictions, lockdown fatigue may suggest that any future lockdowns might not have the same effect
PrEP Use, Sexual Behaviour, and PrEP Adherence Among Men who have Sex with Men Living in Wales Prior to and During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Open AccessDavid Gillespie, Zoë Couzens et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2022
We examined PrEP use, condomless anal sex (CAS), and PrEP adherence among men who have sex with men (MSM) attending sexual health clinics in Wales, UK. In addition, we explored the association between the introduction of measures to control transmission of SARS-CoV-2 on these outcomes. We conducted an ecological momentary assessment study of individuals in receipt of PrEP in Wales. Participants used an electronic medication cap to record PrEP use…
Between- and Within-Individual Sociodemographic and Psychological Determinants of PrEP Adherence Among Men Who have Sex with Men Prescribed a Daily PrEP Regimen in Wales
Open AccessDavid Gillespie, Marijn De Bruin et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2022
We investigated the determinants of daily PrEP use and coverage of condomless anal sex (CAS) by PrEP among men who have sex with men in Wales, UK. We measured PrEP use by electronic monitors and CAS by secure online surveys. We defined PrEP use based on daily medication cap openings and coverage as CAS episodes preceded by ≥ 3 days of PrEP use and followed by ≥ 2 days of PrEP use. We included 57 participants (5463 observations). An STI diagnosis …
Constructing authentic decisions
Victoria Shepherd, Mark Sheehan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2021
Research involving adults who lack capacity to consent relies on proxy (or surrogate) decision making. Proxy decisions about participation are ethically complex, with a disparity between normative accounts and empirical evidence. Concerns about the accuracy of proxies’ decisions arise, in part, from the lack of an ethical framework which takes account of the complex and morally pluralistic world in which proxy decisions are situated. This qualita…
Establishing the international prevalence of self-reported child maltreatment
Open AccessGwenllian Moody, Rebecca Cannings-John et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018
Talking to the people that really matter about their participation in pandemic clinical research
Open AccessNina H Gobat, Micaela Gal et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2018
BACKGROUND: Pandemics of new and emerging infectious diseases are unpredictable, recurrent events that rapidly threaten global health and security. We aimed to identify public views regarding provision of information and consent to participate in primary and critical care clinical research during a future influenza-like illness pandemic. METHODS: Descriptive-interpretive qualitative study, using focus groups (n = 10) and semi-structured interview…
An application of Extended Normalisation Process Theory in a randomised controlled trial of a complex social intervention
Open AccessJeremy Segrott, Simon Murphy et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2017
Extended Normalisation Process Theory provided a useful framework for assessing implementation and explaining variation by examining intervention-context interactions. Findings highlight the need for process evaluations to consider both the structural and process components of implementation to explain whether programme activities are delivered as intended and why

A literature and medicine special study module run by academics in general practice
L Jacobson, Andrew Grant et al.ARTICLEMedical Humanities2004Referencias: 3
This paper describes the design, delivery and evaluation of a nine week special study module on literature and medicine for third year undergraduate medical students, by tutors from an academic department of general practice. Three weeks of taught seminars are followed by three weeks of one on one meetings between individual students and tutors, leading to a seminar led by, and based on, materials prepared by the student. The final three weeks of…

Does Experience Predict Knowledge and Behavior With Respect to Cutaneous Melanoma, Moles, and Sun Exposure? Possible Outcome Measures
Arthur Jackson, Clare Wilkinson et al.ARTICLEBehavioral Medicine2000
A prospective survey of 3105 adults in 16 randomly selected group practices was conducted to test whether individuals with a personal experience, family history, or other contact with malignant melanoma display more knowledge and appropriate behavior with regard to melanomas and sun exposure than those with no such experience. Although patients with previous contact with the condition were more likely to check for moles, were more aware of the si…
