Adolescent girls as local active citizens: Developing a sense of belonging to local parks through ‘walk and talk’ and navigating local gender politics
Parks offer opportunities for adolescent girls to be physically active, yet many are excluded from these spaces, particularly those who are affected by intersecting inequalities. This paper draws from six focus groups with 33 adolescent girls in Bradford, United Kingdom, to explore the relationship between their sense of belonging in their local parks and their engagement with physical activity (PA) in these spaces. Drawing on Yuval-Davis’ sociol…
Intersectional problems, intersectional solutions: A whole-of-community approach to co-produce local park-based physical activity interventions for ethnically diverse adolescent girls in a socio-econo…
Local park-based physical activity (PA) interventions for teenage girls: • Have women PA leaders & teenage girls as Park Ambassadors to – • co-design walking pathway & group walking sessions (combined with intensive PA); • co-deliver park safety training & social media campaign for adolescents. • Informed by intersectional rights to the city & gender-transformative approaches. Parks are important spaces to engage with physical activity (PA) for a…
The effectiveness of JU: MP a whole system approach to improve physical activity of children aged 5 to 11 years living in multi-ethnic and socio-economically deprived communities: a non-randomised con…
Whole system approaches to public health challenges such as low physical activity levels have the potential to create sustained behaviour change at a population level and tackle health inequalities. However, there is currently little evidence of the nature or effectiveness of adopting whole system approaches. This study evaluated whether a whole system physical activity intervention (JU:MP), was effective at improving accelerometry measured physi…
Gender and Social Inequalities in Awareness of Coronary Artery Disease in European Countries
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the single leading cause of death in Europe and the most common form of cardiovascular disease. Little is known about awareness in the European population. A cross-sectional telephone survey of 2609 individuals from six European countries was conducted to gather information on perceptions of CAD, risk factors, preventive measures, knowledge of heart attack symptoms and ability to seek emergency medical care. Level…
A whole system approach to increasing children’s physical activity in a multi-ethnic UK city: A process evaluation protocol
This protocol offers an innovative approach on the use of process evaluation feeding into an iterative programme intended to generate evidence-based practice and deliver practice-based evidence. This paper advances knowledge regarding the development of process evaluations for evaluating systems interventions, and emphasises the importance of process evaluation
Social determinants of male health: A case study of Leeds, UK
There appears to be a lack of sex/gender analysis of current cross city data. In areas of deprivation a complex picture of multiple social problems emerges, with marked gender differences in the social determinants of health, with males seeming to be more negatively affected. There is a need for more focused planning for reaching out and targeting boys and men in the most deprived inner city areas, so that greater efficiency in service delivery c…
Successful mental health promotion with men: The evidence from ‘tacit knowledge’: Table 1
There remains significant concern about men's mental health, particularly in terms of personal and societal barriers to help-seeking, negative coping mechanisms and high suicide rates. This article presents findings from a multi-phase study looking at 'what works' in mental health promotion for men. Work here reports the collection and analysis of the tacit knowledge of those working within mental health promotion interventions for men. A 'multip…
