Characteristics of influenza, Sars-CoV-2, and RSV surveillance systems that utilise ICD-coded data
Impact of Covid-19 mitigations on anxiety and depression amongst university students
What are the characteristics of participatory surveillance systems for influenza-like-illness
Background: Seasonal influenza causes significant morbidity and mortality, with an estimated 9.4 million hospitalisations and 290 000-650 000 respiratory related-deaths globally each year. Influenza can also cause mild illness, which is why not all symptomatic persons might necessarily be tested for influenza. To monitor influenza activity, healthcare facility-based syndromic surveillance for influenza-like illness is often implemented. Participa…
The benefits, challenges, and best practice for patient and public involvement in evidence synthesis
To what extent is alcohol consumption in social gatherings associated with observance of Covid-19 restrictions? A rapid review

Methods: W…
Clinical features of Covid-19 for integration of Covid-19 into influenza surveillance
The effects of mobile health on emergency care in low- and middle-income countries
Which factors influence the extent of indoor transmission of Sars-CoV-2? A rapid evidence review
BACKGROUND: This rapid evidence review identifies and integrates evidence from epidemiology, microbiology and fluid dynamics on the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in indoor environments. METHODS: Searches were conducted in May 2020 in PubMed, medRxiv, arXiv, Scopus, WHO COVID-19 database, Compendex & Inspec. We included studies reporting data on any indoor setting except schools, any indoor activities and any potential means of transmission. Articles…
A critical discourse analysis of Curriculum for Excellence implementation in four Scottish secondary school case studies
Improving the health and wellbeing (HWB) of children and young people has become a policy priority due to perceptions of decreased mental health and academic outcomes. This interest is seen in the Scottish education policy, Curriculum for Excellence (CfE); however, ambiguity around the term ‘wellbeing’ may hinder successful curriculum enactment. Drawing on Foucauldian theories, a critical discourse analysis was conducted on four secondary school …
