Lessons Learned in Transgender Peer Navigation
People who are trans and gender-diverse are underserved by the healthcare system; one way to improve healthcare access is with peer healthcare navigators. We piloted two trans peer health navigators from April 2021 to March 2022 in a small Canadian province. The purpose of this study was to explore how trans peer navigators experienced their work and work environment through reflective journalling. The navigators journalled roughly weekly. They w…
Using focus groups to inform a peer health navigator service for people who are transgender and gender diverse in Saskatchewan, Canada
BACKGROUND: This study investigated healthcare access and quality for people who are transgender and gender-diverse (PTGD) in Saskatchewan (SK), Canada, to inform a larger project that was piloting two peer health navigators for PTGD. METHODS: Two online focus groups were held. Nineteen participants were recruited to represent a broad range in age, gender and location in SK. Transcripts of the focus groups were analyzed using a thematic approach.…
Portrait Photography as a Visual Repository of Vernacular Memory
In recent years, there has been a notable surge in archaeological research spanning the spectrum from historical archaeology to contemporary archaeology, with a particular focus on the multifaceted theme of human identity. This theme shares a profound resonance with the role of portrait photography as a medium for memory preservation, intricately weaving together the threads of identity, memory, and culture in our comprehension of both historical…

The Small Area Health Statistics Unit
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The Small Area Health Statistics Unit (SAHSU) was established at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in response to a recommendation of the enquiry into the increased incidence of childhood leukaemia near Sellafield, the nuclear reprocessing plant in West Cumbria. The aim of this paper was to describe the Unit's methods for the investigation of health around point sources of environmental pollution in the United Ki…
Randomised controlled trial of anti-smoking advice
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to measure experimentally the effects in middle aged men of stopping smoking. DESIGN--The study was a randomised controlled trial. SETTING AND SUBJECTS--The subjects were 1445 male smokers, initially aged 40-59 years, who were selected from the Whitehall study survey of 16,016 civil servants on the basis of a high risk of cardiorespiratory disease. MAIN RESULTS--During the next 20 years there were 620 deaths (231 from…
Overweight and stroke in the Whitehall study
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to examine the risk of increasing overweight for death from stroke. DESIGN--This was a prospective cohort study, in which the main outcome measure was the mortality ratio for stroke with increasing body mass index. SETTING--Civil service departments, Whitehall, London. SUBJECTS--Participants were 17,753 men aged 40 to 64 years. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS--208 stroke deaths were recorded. Men aged 40 to 54 in the mo…
Magnitude and causes of socioeconomic differentials in mortality
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to explore the magnitude and causes of the differences in mortality rates according to socioeconomic position in a cohort of civil servants. DESIGN--This was a prospective observational study of civil servants followed up for 10 years after baseline data collection. SETTING--Civil service offices in London. PARTICIPANTS--11,678 male civil servants were studied, aged 40-64 at baseline screening between 1967 and 1969. T…

Caerphilly and Speedwell collaborative heart disease studies. The Caerphilly and Speedwell Collaborative Group
The Caerphilly and Speedwell studies are based on representative samples of over 3000 subjects in South Wales and over 2000 in Bristol. They include cross sectional studies of risk factors for prevalent ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and of determinants of those risk factors. Prospective studies based on over 2000 men aged 45-59 in each area have been set up. In addition to the examination of lipid and thrombosis factors of possible relevance to I…
Blood pressure and its correlates in an African tribe in urban and rural environments
As part of a longitudinal study of migrants who move from a subsistence farming rural society to Nairobi, blood pressures and associated factors were measured in cross sectional studies of members of the Luo tribe in their traditional rural environment and in the urban environment of Nairobi. Blood pressures in Nairobi correlated with duration of urban residence. In the rural area men showed a negligible rise in blood pressure with age, and both …
Cigarettes, lung cancer, and coronary heart disease
Ten-year mortality rates for lung cancer and coronary heart disease have been related to cigarette smoking habits in 17 475 male civil servants aged 40-64 and in sample of 8089 male British residents aged 35-69. Both diseases were more frequent in smokers. Lung cancer rates were higher overall for "non-inhalers", particularly in heavy smokers. Tar yield correlated with the risk of lung cancer in non-inhalers but less so in inhalers. Conversely, c…
A randomised controlled trial of anti-smoking advice
Ten-year results are reported from a randomised controlled trial of anti-smoking advice in 1445 male smokers, aged 40-59, at high risk of cardiorespiratory disease. After one year reported cigarette consumption in the intervention group (714 men) was one-quarter that of the "normal care" group (731 men); over 10 years the net reported reduction averaged 53%. The intervention group experienced less nasal obstruction, cough, dyspnoea, and loss of v…
Social class and coronary heart disease.
Over the past 40 years in England and Wales the rise in mortality from coronary heart disease has continued unabated among working-class men, whereas among professional men the rate has changed little for the past 20 years. As a result it is now 26 per cent higher in social class V compared with social class I. The difference in women is larger (+ 152%), and it has been present for at least 40 years. The social class gradient for men was confirme…

Changing social-class distribution of heart disease.
Analysis of mortality trends over 40 years in England and Wales showed that mortality from coronary heart disease had become progressively more common in working-class men and women than in those from the middle and upper classes. The change was most noticeable for men. Whereas in 1931 and 1951 heart disease was more common in men of social classes I and II, by 1961 it was more common in men of classes IV and V. This change in social-class distri…
Employment grade and coronary heart disease in British civil servants.
The relationship between grade of employment, coronary risk factors, and coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality has been investigated in a longitudinal study of 17 530 civil servants working in London. After seven and a half years of follow-up there was a clear inverse relationship between grade of employment and CHD mortality. Men in the lowest grade (messengers) had 3.6 times the CHD mortality of men in the highest employment grade (administrat…
Self-administration of a questionnaire on chest pain and intermittent claudication
A total of 18 403 men aged between 40 and 64 years took part in a screening examination which included a self-administered version of the London School of Hygiene questionnaire on chest pain and intermittent claudication. The yield of positives for "angina" and "history of possible infarction" was about twice as high as with interviewers, but the positive groups obtained by the two techniques differed little in their association with electrocardi…
The contribution of intensive coronary care
Coronary care units are expensive consumers of scarce resources, and it is unfortunate that there has been little attempt to evaluate their achievements: even simple data relating outcome to age, duration of stay, and severity are not available. Indirect evidence is presented from the Hospital In-patient Enquiry and the national mortality reports for England and Wales. Over the period in which intensive care facilities have become widespread the …
Cigarette smoking by hospital patients
It is widely accepted by physicians that it is un-desirable for patients with chronic cardiorespiratory disorders to continue to smoke cigarettes. The association between cigarette smoking and the development of bronchitis and of atherosclerotic disease is well known, and it is reasonably inferred that patients who have developed these conditions should be advised to stop smoking. As compared with continuing smokers, ex-smokers are known to have …
Predicting coronary heart disease from minor symptoms and electrocardiographic findings
Many coronary heart disease (CHD) deaths and many attacks of myocardial infarction seem clinically to occur as unheralded catastrophes. This is sur prising, considering that pathologically such events are preceded by years of progressive atherosclerosis and ischaemia. The present study estimates the frequency with which minor symptoms and electro cardiographic changes may occur in the years before these major 'unexpected' illnesses
