Attitudes of university lecturers to English as a lingua franca
Within the plurilingual context of the international university, English operates increasingly as a shared second language, or lingua franca, between students and lecturers. There is limited investigation of lecturers’ attitudes in Anglosphere universities, despite their potential importance in shaping pedagogical approaches. This research uses Q-methodology to uncover patterns of belief while counteracting inherent issues in attitude research in…
Registered tobacco and vaping lobbying activity in Ireland, 2016–2024
Despite Ireland's well-established lobbying regulation, the tobacco and vaping industries maintain a persistent and influential presence within policymaking circles, often overshadowing health advocates. While necessary, transparency mechanisms alone are insufficient and must be complemented by comprehensive implementation of FCTC Article 5.3 to build a pathway for tobacco endgame
Routemap for health impact assessment implementation
Health Impact Assessment (HIA) provides a practical set of tools to appraise the potential health effects of a policy, programme, or project prior to implementation. HIA has gained significant attention in recent decades due to its utility in facilitating a broader understanding of health and bringing diverse stakeholders and evidence into decision-making processes. Despite this interest in HIA its implementation remains challenging within govern…
Getting to Tobacco 21
Thompson et al. (2018) remind us that the World Health Organization Ottawa Charter, published almost four decades ago, was the blueprint for health promotors and policymakers to build policies and create supportive environments to promote the health and well-being of communities and societies (World Health Organization, 1986). The relevance of this strategy continues in the 21st century if we are to achieve the goal of the tobacco endgame—a tobac…
Social Connectedness and Smoking among Adolescents in Ireland
Continuing progress with preventing smoking initiation is a key to the tobacco endgame. Home- and school-based social networks shape the health behaviour of children and adolescents. This study described the relationship between social connectedness and smoking behaviour in school-aged children in Ireland. The 2014 Irish Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) surveyed self-reported smoking status and measured perceptions of social connec…
Is the public ready for a tobacco-free Ireland? A national survey of public knowledge and attitudes to tobacco endgame in Ireland
Despite low awareness, tobacco endgame support is strong in Ireland. Public appetite for radically reducing tobacco product appeal and availability combined with public views on endgame achievability subject to extended timelines should be used to re-invigorate tobacco endgame discussion and planning in countries at risk of failing to meet declared targets
E-Cigarette-Only and Dual Use among Adolescents in Ireland
E-cigarette-only use and dual-use are emerging behaviours among adolescent nicotine product users which have not yet been sufficiently explored. This study examines the prevalence of, and the factors associated with, nicotine product use in adolescence. The study is a cross-sectional analysis of the 2018 Planet Youth survey completed by 15-16 year olds in the West of Ireland in 2018. The outcome of interest was current nicotine product use, defin…
An Evaluation of the Impact of a Multicomponent Stop Smoking Intervention in an Irish Prison
The disproportionately high prevalence of tobacco use among prisoners remains an important public health issue. While Ireland has well-established legislative bans on smoking in public places, these do not apply in prisons. This study evaluates a multi-component tobacco control intervention in a medium security prison for adult males in Ireland. A stop-smoking intervention, targeting staff and prisoners, was designed, implemented, and evaluated w…
Integrating the diagnosis and treatment of nicotine addiction into healthcare in Ireland - from policy to practice
Smoking is a leading cause of preventable death and disability in Ireland. Government policy has set direction towards Ireland becoming tobacco free by 2025. This paper describes how the diagnosis and treatment of nicotine addiction is being integrated into healthcare in Ireland by the Health Service Executive [HSE] and presents a model linking policy with practice.A multidisciplinary group was established by the HSE to lead on implementation of …
