Data Sources and Analytic Approaches Used to Evaluate the Impact of Patient and Public Involvement in Child Health Research
INTRODUCTION: Several systematic and scoping reviews have focused on the impact of patient and public involvement (PPI) in child health research. The aim of this research was to examine the data sources and analytic approaches used by researchers to evaluate the impact of PPI in child health research. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search identified published reviews focused on PPI impact in child health research. Titles, abstracts, and full…
Patient and Public Involvement in Paediatric Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trials
PPI aligns with the purpose and intended impact of pragmatic trials, and paediatric researchers perceive that PPI leads to increased research relevance, quality, and dissemination. There is, however, a need for institutional and funding bodies to invest in PPI partnership, including offering support for researchers and providing opportunities for children, youth, and parents as PPI partners
ABA‐Feed Infant Feeding Training for Peer Supporters and Coordinators
The assets-based feeding help before and after birth (ABA-feed) intervention aims to improve breastfeeding rates by offering proactive peer support to first-time mothers, regardless of feeding intention. Based on behaviour change theory and an assets-based approach, the intervention involved training existing peer supporters to become infant feeding helpers (IFHs). A train-the-trainer model was used, with coordinators delivering four 2-h training…
Experiences of the ABA‐Feed Infant Feeding Intervention
UK breastfeeding rates are low, with health inequalities in initiation and continuation. Breastfeeding peer support interventions are recommended in UK and global policy. The Assets-based feeding help Before and After birth (ABA-feed) trial tested the effectiveness of proactive, woman-centred support for infant feeding delivered by trained peer supporters (infant feeding helpers; IFHs) in addition to usual care at 17 UK sites. Using data from an …
Cybersafety in Conversation
Cybersecurity needs a systems update. How leaders identify and secure against virtual threats has fallen out of sync with how everyday people experience the dangers of the internet. Decision makers frame cybersecurity in dollars and cents lost, while advocates labor to humanize victims of online violence. This space lacks a common definition of safety, which is evident in the growing erosion of public trust in platforms and tech policy makers ali…
Concussion Public Policy in Elementary and High Schools in Ontario, Canada
BACKGROUND: Concussion public policies have been developed to address the burden of concussions. The aim of the present study was to examine implementation compliance, barriers, and facilitators of Canada's first concussion public policy, Ontario's Policy/Program Memorandum 158: School Board Policies on Concussion (PPM158). METHODS: An electronic survey was sent to 515 randomly selected elementary and high school principals across specific geogra…
From Philanthropy to Clinical Care through Research
Norman Saunders was a respected academic community paediatrician who was passionate about the care of children with medical complexity. Following his untimely death at age 60, patients, friends, and colleagues raised funds to create the Norman Saunders Complex Care Initiative (NSCCI). Dr. Saunders's vision was a comprehensive, coordinated, and integrated clinical program for children with medical complexity that was informed by research evidence.…
How a Government Organisation Evolved to Embrace Ethnographic Methods for Service (and Team) Resilience
Government websites and online services are often built with limited input from the people they serve. This approach limits their ability to respond to ever changing needs and contexts. This case study describes a government digital team built from the ground-up to embrace ethnographic methods to make government services more resilient.The case study begins by tracing the organisation's origins and relationship to other research-driven parts of i…
Effect of reducing the posted speed limit to 30 km per hour on pedestrian motor vehicle collisions in Toronto, Canada - a quasi experimental, pre-post study
Declines in the rate of PMVC were observed on roads with posted speed limit reductions from 40 km/h to 30 km/h, although this effect was not statistically greater than reductions on comparator streets
Interrogating inclusion with youths who use augmentative and alternative communication
Even as the goal of social inclusion underpins health and social services for disabled youths, those with communication impairments continue to lead narrowly circumscribed lives. In this Canadian study, we combined visual methods and interviews with 13 Canadian youths who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) to understand how they make 'practical sense' of discourses of inclusion. Drawing on Bourdieu's theory of practice, we sugge…
The ABA intervention for improving breastfeeding initiation and continuation
The UK has low breastfeeding rates, with socioeconomic disparities. The Assets-based feeding help Before and After birth (ABA) intervention was designed to be inclusive and improve infant feeding behaviours. ABA is underpinned by the behaviour change wheel and offers an assets-based approach focusing on positive capabilities of individuals and communities, including use of a Genogram. This study aimed to investigate feasibility of intervention de…
The built environment and active transportation safety in children and youth
This program of research will identify the built environment associated with active transportation safety and form an evidence base from which municipalities can draw information to support change. Our team's national scope will be invaluable in providing information regarding the variability in built environment characteristics and is vital to producing evidence-based recommendations that will increase safe active transportation
Synthetic social support
Levels of social support are strongly associated with health outcomes and inequalities. The use of lay health workers (LHWs) has been suggested by policy makers across the world as an intervention to identify risks to health and to promote health, particularly in disadvantaged communities. However, there have been few attempts to theorize the work undertaken by LHWs to understand how interventions work. In this article, the authors present the co…
A Critical Dialogical Methodology for Conducting Research With Disabled Youth Who Use Augmentative and Alternative Communication
In this article, we present a theoretical examination of communication difference in the context of a critical qualitative study that explored "inclusion" with disabled youth who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). Drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin's dialogism, we articulate a novel critical dialogical methodology developed to rethink dominant understandings of voice, authenticity, and the autonomous participant. Case examples illustra…
Trends in unintentional injury mortality in Canadian children 1950–2009 and association with selected population-level interventions
Installation of speed humps and pedestrian-motor vehicle collisions in Toronto, Canada
Speed humps are an easily replicated method of traffic calming which have a significant protective effect on PMVC on the roadways where they are installed, particularly for children. There is a need for an area-wide analysis to determine the effects of the installation of speed humps to ensure that PMVC are not being displaced to surrounding roadways
Do school crossing guards make crossing roads safer? A quasi-experimental study of pedestrian-motor vehicle collisions in Toronto, Canada
School crossing guards are a simple roadway modification to increase walking to school without apparent detrimental safety effects. Other more permanent interventions are necessary to address the frequency of child PMVCs occurring away from the location of crossing guards, and outside of school travel times
Psychological distress in mothers of children admitted to a nutritional rehabilitation unit in M alawi – a comparison with other paediatric wards
In a previous study we found a very high prevalence of psychological distress in mothers of children admitted to a nutritional rehabilitation unit (NRU) in Malawi, Africa. The objective of this study was to compare the prevalence and severity of maternal distress within the NRU with that in other paediatric wards. Given the known association between poor maternal psychological well-being and child undernutrition in low- and middle-income countrie…
Safety standards and socioeconomic disparities in school playground injuries
Improvements in playground equipment can result in an environment in which students from schools in poorer neighbourhoods are no longer at increased risk of injuries on play equipment
The influence of school culture on smoking among pupils
Safer sex and social class
This article reports on associations between socio-demographic factors and safer sexual behaviour among gay and bisexual men in an English region. A cross-sectional survey using an anonymous self-complete questionnaire collected information on sexual behaviour and socio-demographic characteristics. All men using specified 'gay' venues and groups during the data collection period, were offered inclusion. Of the 858 men returning completed question…

Scottish culture
Cultural identities come from somewhere, have histories. But, like every thing which is historical, they undergo constant transformation. Far from being eternally fixed in some essentialised past, they are subject to the continuous 'play' of history, culture and power. Far from being grounded in a mere 'recovery' of the past, which is waiting to be found, and which, when found, will secure our sense of ourselves into eternity, identities are the …
Treatment delay in patients with bladder tumours
Previous work has shown that the hospitals are the most important source of delay in treatment of bladder cancer rather than the patient or the general practitioner. We have studied referral of patients for investigation and treatment in the North West Region using data from the cancer registry. Delay in treatment for this disease is appreciably longer than for the other common cancers we have studied. Various factors associated with speed of tre…
Factors associated with speed of diagnosis, referral, and treatment in colorectal cancer
Delay in the presentation of symptoms and in referral of patients for surgical opinion remains an important problem in colorectal cancer. Factors influencing patients to consult early include advice from close family or other associates and abdominal pain or vomiting, or both, as one of the early symptoms. More localised rectal symptoms and loss of weight are often associated with long delay. The "classic" symptom pictures are not often seen in t…

Health norms in pregnancy
A study was conducted on a sample of pregnant women. The study had two aims: to develop a method of measuring social expectations (norms) and to find out how far women conform in their behaviour to these norms. The areas of behaviour were smoking, exercise, diet, alcohol, and medication. Pregnancy was found to be appropriate for this study because of the high degree of formalisation that this state enjoys in our society. The methods used for meas…
