  • Integrating research and system-wide practice in public health

    Open Accesson behalf of Better Start Bradford, Josie Dickerson et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    Many interventions that are delivered within public health services have little evidence of effect.

However, such evaluation is challenging and requires the integration of research into system-wide practice. The Born in Bradford's Better Start experimental birth cohort offers an opportunity to efficient…

  • Participant engagement with a UK community-based preschool childhood obesity prevention programme

    Open AccessWendy Burton, Maureen Twiddy et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    In summary, participant engagement is affected by multiple factors, working at different levels of the children's centre and local authority hierarchy, most of which are at play even before participants decide whether or not they choose to enrol and maintain attendance. For programmes to achieve their optimal reach and impact, factors at the commissioning and local implementation level need to be addressed prior to addressing participant facing i…

  • Born in Bradford’s Better Start

    Open AccessJosie Dickerson, Philippa K Bird et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    The focus of the BiBBS cohort is on intervention impact rather than observation. As far as we are aware BiBBS is the world's first such experimental birth cohort study. While some risk factors for adverse health and social outcomes are increasingly well described, the solutions to tackling them remain elusive. The novel design of BiBBS can contribute much needed evidence to inform policy makers and practitioners about effective approaches to impr…
