Exploring the acceptability and usability of a novel social innovation to encourage physical activity
This study explored the acceptability and usability of the iStep prototype a novel social innovation to encourage intergenerational physical activity (PA) to help reduce obesity levels in older age. Obesity is a major public health issue and physical inactivity is one of the many factors that influence this, especially in childhood and later life. iStep (a pedometer and interactive website) sought to increase PA levels across the life course thro…
Obstacles to "race equality" in the English National Health Service
Inequitable healthcare access, experiences and outcomes across ethnic groups are of concern across many countries. Progress on this agenda appears limited in England given the apparently strong legal and policy framework. This disjuncture raises questions about how central government policy is translated into local services. Healthcare commissioning organisations are a potentially powerful influence on services, but have rarely been examined from…
Migration and Maternity
A group from Germany, Canada, and the United Kingdom undertook country-specific scoping reviews and stakeholder consultations before joining to holistically compare migration and maternity in all three countries. We examined four interlinking dimensions to understand how international migrant/minority maternal health might be improved upon using transnational research: (a) wider sociopolitical context, (b) health policy arena, (c) constellation, …
Contributions and challenges of cross-national comparative research in migration, ethnicity and health
In view of these pros and cons, the paper encourages researchers to reflect more on the rationale for, feasibility and likely contribution of proposed cross-national comparative research that engages with migration, ethnicity and health and suggests some principles that could support such reflection
Can the quality of social research on ethnicity be improved through the introduction of guidance? Findings from a research commissioning pilot exercise
As the volume of UK social research addressing ethnicity grows, so too do concerns regarding the ethical and scientific rigour of this research domain and its potential to do more harm than good. The establishment of standards and principles and the introduction of guidance documents at critical points within the research cycle might be one way to enhance the quality of such research. This article reports the findings from the piloting of a guida…
A reflection on seven years as editors and welcome to the new editors
Bridging the language barrier
Language barriers present a major obstacle to minority ethnic communities accessing primary healthcare. Whereas it is recognised that interpreting services are generally inadequate and inappropriate reliance is placed on family members to interpret, little is known about how nurses working in primary care utilise interpreters to overcome language barriers. The present paper reports on a study examining the utilisation of interpreting services by …
Ethnicity and Health--A message from the new Editors
Teamwork in primary care
This paper examines the community nursing contribution to primary care by reporting on a qualitative evaluation study of the introduction of integrated nursing teams by an NHS community trust in one location in the United Kingdom. A pluralistic evaluation approach (Smith & Cantley 1985) was used to identify the various criteria by which the different stakeholders involved in the initiative judged the integrated nursing teams to be successful. Six…
