Healthy eating interventions conducted in small, local restaurants and hot food takeaways
Objective: This systematic review investigates the characteristics, effectiveness and acceptability of interventions to encourage healthier eating in small, independent restaurants and takeaways. Design: We searched five databases (CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL and Science Citation Index and Social Science Citation Index) in June 2022. Eligible studies had to measure changes in sales, availability, nutritional quality, portion sizes or dietary…
Association between socioeconomic disadvantage and severe maternal morbidity and mortality in high-income countries
Integrating palliative care and oncology – a realist synthesis to explain what works, for whom, and in what circumstances
Introduction: Palliative care aims to improve quality of life for people living with a life-limiting illness. There are approximately 2.5 million people with cancer in the UK, and this may reach 4 million by the year 2030. An integrated approach to palliative care and cancer care is recommended to achieve continuity of care and address unmet needs. However, this is not yet common practice - symptom burden, futile treatment, and fragmented care co…
Health worker experiences of implementing TB infection prevention and control
Implementation of TB infection prevention and control (IPC) measures in health facilities is frequently inadequate, despite nosocomial TB transmission to patients and health workers causing harm. We aimed to review qualitative evidence of the complexity associated with implementing TB IPC, to help guide the development of TB IPC implementation plans. We undertook a qualitative evidence synthesis of studies that used qualitative methods to explore…
The role of volunteering in supporting well‐being – What might this mean for social prescribing? A best‐fit framework synthesis of qualitative research
Volunteering for an organisation, charity or group enables people to make connections with others and to be involved in interesting, worthwhile and/or enjoyable pursuits. Engaging in volunteering can form part of a social prescribing action plan developed between a patient and link worker. Greater understanding of the processes through which volunteering can improve people's well-being as part of social prescribing will help to support link worke…
Benefits and harms adopted by health economic assessments evaluating antenatal and newborn screening programmes in OECD countries
Ethical and sociocultural challenges in managing dead bodies during epidemics and natural disasters
BACKGROUND: Catastrophic natural disasters and epidemics claim thousands of lives and have severe and lasting consequences, accompanied by human suffering. The Ebola epidemic of 2014-2016 and the current COVID-19 pandemic have revealed some of the practical and ethical complexities relating to the management of dead bodies. While frontline staff are tasked with saving lives, managing the bodies of those who die remains an under-resourced and over…
A systematic review of reasons for and against asking patients about their socioeconomic contexts
This first summary of literature on the subject found many published reasons for why patients' social and economic circumstances should be enquired about in healthcare settings. These reasons include potential benefits at the levels of individuals, health service provision, and population, as well as the potential to improve healthcare equity. Cautions and caveats include concerns about the clinician's role in responding to patients' social probl…
The impact of maternal nutrition on offspring’s risk of non-communicable diseases in adulthood
A systematic review of associations between non-communicable diseases and socioeconomic status within low- and lower-middle-income countries
Socioeconomic status and non-communicable disease behavioural risk factors in low-income and lower-middle-income countries
Quantifying the Association Between Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes
Background The relationships between physical activity ( PA ) and both cardiovascular disease ( CVD ) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2 DM ) have predominantly been estimated using categorical measures of PA , masking the shape of the dose‐response relationship. In this systematic review and meta‐analysis, for the very first time we are able to derive a single continuous PA metric to compare the association between PA and CVD /T2 DM , both before …
Views of Ethical Best Practices in Sharing Individual-Level Data From Medical and Public Health Research
There is increasing support for sharing individual-level data generated by medical and public health research. This scoping review of empirical research and conceptual literature examined stakeholders' perspectives of ethical best practices in data sharing, particularly in low- and middle-income settings. Sixty-nine empirical and conceptual articles were reviewed, of which, only five were empirical studies and eight were conceptual articles focus…
