Psychological distress, gender and dietary factors in South Asians
Objective Psychological distress, defined as symptoms of depression and anxiety, is an increasingly important public health issue in developing countries. Little is known about the extent to which adverse dietary factors are associated with psychological distress in South Asians. Our aim was to compare the associations of diet and psychological distress in men and women in Goa, India. Design Cross-sectional study of consecutive attendees in nine …

Do men consult less than women? An analysis of routinely collected UK general practice data
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether gender differences in primary care consultation rates (1) vary by age and deprivation status and (2) diminish when consultation for reproductive reasons or common underlying morbidities are accounted for. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study of a cohort of patients registered with general practice. SETTING: UK primary care. SUBJECTS: Patients (1 869 149 men and 1 916 898 women) registered with 446 eligible practices in 2010…
OP91 Are there Gender Differences in Consultation Patterns Prior to Melanoma, CRC and Lung Cancer Diagnosis and Cancer Survival
Background Consultation rates with general practitioners (GPs) are higher in women than in men from late childhood through middle age, though not in childhood and later life. This gender patterning, and qualitative data documenting men’s apparent reluctance to consult, has fuelled widespread assumptions that men are always more reluctant to consult and this may partly explain gender differences in longevity (delayed consultation leading to later …

PS27 Serum Bilirubin and Risk of Cardiovascular Events and Death in a Statin-Treated Population
Background Serum bilirubin is an endogenous antioxidant with a strong genetic component that may be a marker for future cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. We examined the relationship between serum bilirubin levels recorded prior to statin prescription, primarily as test for liver function, and the diagnosis or death from CVD. We also examined whether bilirubin levels increased following statin prescription independently of liver enzymes, which h…
PS25 Discontinuation of Antiepileptic Drugs in Pregnancy
Background Since the thalidomide tragedy in the 1960s, many women are concerned with the use of drugs in pregnancy. Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are commonly used to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorders in women of child bearing age. However, some AEDs are associated with an increased risk of major congenital malformations. Untreated epilepsy and bipolar disorders in pregnancy may lead to devastating consequences for both mother and child. This lea…
Depression, anxiety and physical function
BACKGROUND: Depression, anxiety and physical function may be bi-directionally related. We aim to estimate the strength of the longitudinal associations between depression, anxiety and physical function. METHODS: Prospective cohort study of general practice attendees across Europe (N=4757) assessed at baseline, 6, 12 and 24 months. Main outcome measures were Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV major depression, Patient Health …
Associations between unemployment and major depressive disorder
Scripting sexual function
The biomedical model assumes universal agreement in what it means to have a functioning sex life. In reality there is significant variation in the criteria that individuals employ in assessing their sex lives. We use a scripting approach to understand the meaning of sexual function from a lay perspective. Based on the accounts of 32 individuals representing a range of sexual function experience, we identified three scripts employed by participant…
Prospective cohort study of unemployment and clinical depression in Europe and Chile
Objective Unemployed individuals have poorer mental health than the employed, but the direction of this association is not clear. Our objective was to examine the links between major depression and unemployment in a European cohort of general practice attenders. Design Prospective cohort. Setting General practices in UK, Estonia, The Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and Chile. Participants Consecutive general practice attendees aged 18 to 7…
Psychosocial and sociodemographic predictors of attrition in a longitudinal study of major depression in primary care
BACKGROUND: Few data exist on the psychosocial factors associated with attrition in longitudinal surveys. This study was undertaken to determine psychosocial and sociodemographic predictors of attrition from a longitudinal study of the onset and persistence of episodes of major depression in primary care. METHODS: A systematic random sample of general practice attendees was recruited in seven Spanish provinces between October 2005 and February 20…
Managing Sexual Difficulties
Biomedical interventions offer effective treatment for only a small proportion of individuals experiencing sexual difficulties. Where treatment fails, individuals have to find ways to cope and adjust. Currently, little is known about how individuals do this. This article presents data from 32 semi-structured interviews with individuals representing a range of sexual function experience. Three broad coping approaches are identified. The first, cha…
A systematic review of mental disorder, suicide, and deliberate self harm in lesbian, gay and bisexual people
Developing and evaluating complex interventions
Evaluating complex interventions is complicated. The Medical Research Council9s evaluation framework (2000) brought welcome clarity to the task. Now the council has updated its guidance
Predicting the onset and persistence of episodes of depression in primary health care. The predictD-Spain study
The items and questionnaires were reliable and data quality control was excellent. When we eventually obtain our risk index for the onset and persistence of depression, we will be able to determine the individual risk of each patient evaluated in primary health care
A Comparison of Father and Mother Report of Child Behaviour on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire
Women’s Views of their Sexual Difficulties
Prediction of depression in European general practice attendees
Response rate to follow-up in all countries was uniformly high, which suggests that prediction will be based on almost a full cohort. The results of our reliability analysis are encouraging and suggest that data collected during the course of PREDICT will have a satisfactory level of stability. The development of a multi-factor risk score for depression will lay the foundation for future research on risk reduction in primary care. Our data will a…
The health of people classified as lesbian, gay and bisexual attending family practitioners in London
Bisexual and lesbian classified people attending London general practices were more likely to be smokers and gay classified men were at increased risk of psychological distress in comparison to heterosexual classified people. Increased awareness of the sexuality of people seen in primary care can provide opportunities for health promotion
