Involving community members in designing behavioural weight management programmes
Our review identified substantial levels of community involvement (leadership or collaboration) in planning BWMPs, but less so in their delivery, and rarely in evaluation. Greater involvement of communities in evaluation would ensure programmes focus on what matters most to them. Reporting of community involvement, especially costs and time involved, should be improved to allow for shared learning
The Value in Rapid, Multi-Site Team Ethnography for Understanding Context to Design Public Health Interventions
Low levels of physical activity is a global public health challenge, and children are not taking part in recommended amounts of physical activity. To date, the majority of school-based physical activity interventions have not yielded increases in pupils’ physical activity levels, and it is suggested that this is partly due to traditional intervention approaches ignoring the role of individual school context. By context we mean the school setting,…
Co-designing adult weight management services
Co-design is an increasingly popular approach to designing health in services but can be difficult to achieve within traditional funding and commissioning practices. Drawing on our case studies, we present key considerations for those wanting to co-design health services, noting the importance of building strong relationships, creating supportive organisational cultures, and developing the evidence base

A qualitative exploration of food portion size practices and awareness of food portion size guidance in first-time parents of one- to two-year-olds living in the UK
Existing food portion size guidance resources for parents of young children in the UK are ineffective as they have poor reach and impact. We suggest parents should be involved in developing novel strategies to promote age-appropriate consumption and healthy weight gain in young children
A qualitative study of parental strategies to enable pre-school children's outdoor and nature experiences during Covid-19 restrictions
Outdoor and nature experiences including play have been shown to be beneficial for children's physical, cognitive, social and emotional development. Parents/carers play an important role in encouraging or impeding their child's access to the outdoor environment and participation in outdoor play. The COVID-19 pandemic and associated restrictions on free movement and social interactions placed an unprecedented pressure on families to manage the dra…
Links between obesity, weight stigma and learning in adolescence
Action to combat weight stigma, both within schools and in wider society, is urgently required to help address these educational disparities that in turn can impact health in later life
A physical activity, nutrition and oral health intervention in nursery settings

What do young people think about their school-based sex and relationship education? A qualitative synthesis of young people's views and experiences
OBJECTIVES: Although sex and relationship education (SRE) represents a key strand in policies to safeguard young people and improve their sexual health, it currently lacks statutory status, government guidance is outdated and a third of UK schools has poor-quality SRE. We aimed to investigate whether current provision meets young people's needs. DESIGN: Synthesis of qualitative studies of young people's views of their school-based SRE. SETTING: E…
The World Health Organization’s Health Promoting Schools framework
Consulting with young people to inform systematic reviews
The WHO Health Promoting School framework for improving the health and well-being of students and their academic achievement
BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization's (WHO's) Health Promoting Schools (HPS) framework is an holistic, settings-based approach to promoting health and educational attainment in school. The effectiveness of this approach has not been previously rigorously reviewed. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effectiveness of the Health Promoting Schools (HPS) framework in improving the health and well-being of students and their academic achievement. SEARCH M…

Hand‐washing, subclinical infections, and growth
OBJECTIVE: We conducted a longitudinal study to assess the impact of a hand-washing intervention on growth and biomarkers of child health in Nepali slums. This is the first study to evaluate the impact of hand-washing on markers of subclinical, asymptomatic infections associated with childhood growth faltering. METHODS: We recruited a total sample of infants in the target age-range (3-12 months) living in the eight largest Kathmandu slums, alloca…
