It’s time to tell
Children living with HIV are not routinely informed of their HIV diagnosis: open communication is not yet standard global practice (Warburton et al., 2022). This article presents data from a qualitative study aimed at establishing an evidence-based approach to telling children they are HIV positive. An arts-based narrative inquiry methodology was used. Sixteen young people and ten parents were recruited via voluntary sector organizations in the U…

Supporting Mental Health and Well-Being of an Aging Prison Population Through Creative Nature-Based Interventions
This article focuses on an evaluation of a conservation and nature-based pilot project (BOOM) conduced in a UK local prison as part of the Greener on the Outside for Prisons therapeutic horticultural program.

They also engaged in tree-planting sessions within the prison grounds. Over 100 prisoners pa…
Theories for interventions to reduce physical and verbal abuse
Despite global attention, physical and verbal abuse remains prevalent in maternity and newborn healthcare. We aimed to establish theoretical principles for interventions to reduce such abuse. We undertook a mixed methods systematic review of health and social care literature (MEDLINE, SocINDEX, Global Index Medicus, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Sept 29th 2020 and March 22 nd 2022: no date or language restrictions). Papers that included theory were a…

Vulnerable Jugendliche in sich verändernden Risikoumgebungen
Dieses Projekt stellt die Frage, wie die COVID-19-Pandemie Prozesse der sozialen Inklusion und Exklusion von wohnungslosen Jugendlichen beeinflusst. Anhand von drei internationalen Fallstudien soll das Verständnis dafür verbessert werden, wie Pandemien die Risiken und die zugänglichen wohlfahrtsstaatlichen Ressourcen für junge Menschen mit Wohnungslosigkeitserfahrung prägen. Das Wissen, das in dieser vergleichenden Studie entwickelt wird, kann da…
Growing health in UK prison settings
Globally, prisoners tend to come from marginalized and socially disadvantaged sections of the society and exhibit a high incidence of ill health, linked to social exclusion and multiple complex needs. Prisons therefore offer an important opportunity to tackle inequality and injustice, through promoting health, reducing reoffending and facilitating community reintegration.This paper reports on and critically discusses findings from an evaluative r…

This paper reports on research exploring the use and impact of the UK Healthy Universities Network's self review tool, s…
