Informal digital peer support for mental health
This paper offers an analysis of informal digital peer support among LGBTQ+ young people in Australia, based on survey data from 660 young people (aged 16-25). Research on LGBTQ+ young people's mental health support commonly focuses on their professional support needs and connection to services, but there is also a need to understand informal peer support through everyday social media use. There are known benefits of having access to multiple for…
Commonly cited approaches to reducing health inequalities
Addressing health inequalities is an international priority. Various approaches have gained popularity in the academic literature and policy-making documents. However, there has been a lack of progress in tackling health inequalities. We outline the main characteristics and principles of five commonly cited approaches: asset-based, place-based, upstream, systems-based and proportionate universalism. We examine how these approaches are described i…
Concern about the health effects of climate change according to experiences of climate events
Australia and United Kingdom (UK) nationally representative surveys of 4,378 adults. • Adults reported climate event experiences and perceived health threats. • 60% of Australians reported experiencing a climate event in the past five years compared to 29% of UK residents. • Heatwaves were the most common experience in both countries. • Climate event experiences accounted for 23-35% of perceived climate health threats. Climate change is now recog…
Creating the Conditions for Integration
Ireland is undergoing a significant radical transformation in healthcare with the implementation of Sláintecare and Health Regions. This transformation involves a shift towards integrated service delivery and "new ways of working." The HSE Organisation Development & Design (OD&D) team plays a crucial role in strategically and operationally working with services to create the conditions for change and integration through the implementation of the …
Co-designing Integrated Service Delivery for the Irish Health Service
The Health Service Executive (HSE) Health Regions Programme Team established an Integrated Service Delivery (ISD) Workstream group to progress design of an ISD model for the Irish healthcare system and to propose a preferred set of regional and local organisational structural arrangements to underpin, enable and support the provision of integrated care. The output of this work is for patients and users of health and social care services, service …
Optimising Healthcare Integration
This abstract outlines the implementation of evidenced-based design methodologies to develop an Integrated Service Delivery (ISD) model for the Irish Health Service Executive (HSE) Health Regions. The initiative is a response to the Sláintecare reform and the Health Regions Implementation Plan, aiming to establish regional and local organisational structures that support and enable integrated care provision for the population of the Republic of I…
Addressing (in)equity through public policy and local governance systems
Equity is a core social value that is widely debated in its conceptualisation and inclusion into policymaking and service delivery. Policymakers and street‐level actors often disagree about or have limited interest in defining (in)equity, leading to a lack of consensus about how to make measurable and long‐lasting impact for populations and communities experiencing disadvantage. Within this context, this paper draws on governance concepts such as…
Scoping review of nature-based interventions in bereavement care
Perinatal bereavement, the death of a baby before or around the time of birth, is profoundly distressing and associated with significant psychosocial consequences for parents and families. There is a need for diverse support options for bereaved parents that recognises their continuum of needs, preferences and circumstances. Nature-based interventions have potential as a non-clinical approach drawing on “natural assets” within everyday settings. …
A peer-led, school-based social network intervention for young people in the UK, promoting sexual health via social media and conversations with friends
ISRCTN97369178
Connection, connectivity and choice
The COVID‐19 pandemic and associated school closures may have constrained educational participation particularly for students in disadvantaged circumstances. We explore how 30 disadvantaged students in secondary school (14 mainstream/16 Flexible Learning Programme) from Queensland, New South Wales and Tasmania experienced home learning during the first wave of COVID‐19, teasing out nuances across two educational models. Drawing on semi‐structured…
Uneven impacts of Covid ‐19 on the attendance rates of secondary school students from different socioeconomic backgrounds in Australia
This paper contributes to the growing body of research that demonstrates uneven impacts of the COVID‐19 pandemic on educational outcomes of students from different socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds. We evaluate the early impacts of COVID‐19 on student attendance in secondary school and show how these impacts depend on students' SES. We employ a quasi‐experimental design, using difference‐in‐differences (DiD) estimation extended to incorporat…
Smoking Cessation Support for Pregnant Women Provided by English Stop Smoking Services and National Health Service Trusts
Reducing smoking rates in pregnancy continues to be a public health priority. Given a recent UK government policy change resulting in The National Health Service (NHS) making a significant new contribution to cessation support in pregnancy in England, in addition to that of Local Authorities (LA), an up-to-date assessment of national support offered to pregnant women is needed. LA Stop Smoking Service (SSS) managers and representatives from mater…
Mass media and communication interventions to increase HIV testing among gay and other men who have sex with men
Mass media and communication interventions can play a role in increasing HIV testing among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). Despite the key role of social marketing principles and visual design within intervention development of this type, evidence is limited regarding interventions' social marketing mix or visual design. As part of a systematic review, intervention content was assessed using social marketing theory and …

Agreement and Disparities between Women and Stop-Smoking Specialists about How to Promote Adherence to Nicotine Replacement Therapy in Pregnancy
Evidence for the effectiveness of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for smoking-cessation in pregnancy is weak. This has been attributed to insufficient dosing and low adherence. This study investigated the acceptability of key messages and delivery modes for a behavioral intervention to increase NRT adherence in pregnancy. Semi-structured telephone interviews were carried out with pregnant or postpartum women aged ≥16 from across England, who h…
Mental health, potential minority stressors and resilience
Disability and financial worries were associated with increased depression and anxiety, respectively, while resilience had a protective effect for GBMSM in the SMMASH2 study. Future research is needed to better understand the role of resilience and the challenges and stresses of everyday life and intersecting health problems. Future research is also needed that incorporates the perspectives of those most affected by mental ill-health to co-develo…
Configuring the PrEP user
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has been hailed as a revolutionary intervention for HIV prevention. PrEP's controversial status in the UK has generated significant media coverage. It is important to understand what role the media plays in framing PrEP policy issues. We undertook a qualitative analysis of UK newsprint articles between 2012 and 2016 to examine how PrEP was framed as a public health intervention up until a controversial policy decis…
Sexual health literacy among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men
Good sexual health requires navigating intimate relationships within diverse power dynamics and sexual cultures, coupled with the complexities of increasing biomedicalisation of sexual health. Understanding this is important for the implementation of biomedical HIV prevention. We propose a socially nuanced conceptual framework for sexual health literacy developed through a consensus building workshop with experts in the field. We use rigorous qua…
The Long and Winding Road
We describe a pilot project designed to assess the feasibility of re-use across 12 diverse qualitative datasets related to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in the UK, from research projects undertaken between 1997 and 2013 - an approach which is chronically underused. First, we consider the sweeping biomedical changes and imperatives relating to HIV in this time frame, offering a rationale for data re-use at this point in the epidemic. We then …
How men and women learn about sex
Attitudes towards sexual health and relationships are learned from a young age, and there is an ongoing need for innovative and comprehensive approaches to sex education that keep pace with rapidly changing contexts of people's lives. We used thematic analysis of data from two qualitative studies in Scotland to explore learning contexts from a multi-generational perspective, as well as the influence of different socio-cultural factors on provisio…
Informing theoretical development of salutogenic, asset-based health improvement to reduce syndemics among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men
Globally, gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) experience an increased burden of poor sexual, mental and physical health. Syndemics theory provides a framework to understand comorbidities and health among marginalised populations. Syndemics theory attempts to account for the social, environmental, and other structural contexts that are driving and/or sustaining simultaneous multiple negative health outcomes, but has been wide…
Practitioners’ Views on Nicotine Replacement Therapy in Pregnancy during Lapse and for Harm Reduction
Many countries, including the UK, recommend nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for smoking cessation during pregnancy. However, adherence to NRT is generally low, smoking lapse or relapse is common and using NRT to reduce the harm from the number of cigarettes smoked is only advocated in non-pregnant smokers. Two focus groups were conducted with 13 professionals involved in antenatal stop smoking services (SSS). The data were analysed thematicall…
Knowledge and Education as Barriers and Facilitators to Nicotine Replacement Therapy Use for Smoking Cessation in Pregnancy
Smoking during pregnancy is a leading cause of negative pregnancy and perinatal outcomes. While UK guidelines recommend nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for smoking cessation during pregnancy, adherence to NRT is generally low and may partially explain why NRT appears less effective in pregnancy compared to non-pregnant smokers. This study aimed to identify and describe factors associated with NRT adherence from a health professional's perspect…
Absence of holistic sexual health understandings among men and women in deprived areas of Scotland
In the first UK study to examine understandings of holistic sexual health among adults living in deprived areas, we found a disjuncture between men and women. These findings suggest that, as a society, we are failing to equip people to enhance their own, and others', sexual health and wellbeing in its broadest sense. New efforts to emphasise the breadth of sexual health are required, but addressing these complex issues, especially where there are…
Navigating HIV citizenship
The use of HIV Treatment as Prevention (TasP) has radically changed our understandings of HIV risk and revolutionised global HIV prevention policy to focus on the use of pharmaceuticals. Yet, there has been little engagement with the very people expected to comply with a daily pharmaceutical regime. We employ the concept of HIV citizenship to explore responses by people living with HIV in the UK to TasP. We consider how a treatment-based public h…

Women’s embodied experiences of second trimester medical abortion
Abortions in general, and second trimester abortions in particular, are experiences which in many contexts have limited sociocultural visibility. Research on second trimester abortion worldwide has focused on a range of associated factors including risks and acceptability of abortion methods, and characteristics and decision-making of women seeking the procedure. Scholarship to date has not adequately addressed the embodied physicality of second …
Access to and Experience of Later Abortion
Reasons for seeking later abortion are complex and varied among women in Scotland, and suggest that reducing barriers to access and improving local provision of such abortions are a necessity. The candidacy framework allows for a fuller understanding of the difficulties involved in obtaining abortions

Exploring masculinities, sexual health and wellbeing across areas of high deprivation in Scotland
Within and across areas of high deprivation, we explored constructions of masculinity in relation to sexual health and wellbeing, in what we believe to be the first UK study to take this approach. Our sample of 116 heterosexual men and women age 18-40 years took part in individual semi-structured interviews (n = 35) and focus group discussions (n = 18), across areas in Scotland. Drawing on a socio-ecological framework, findings revealed experienc…

Contact with HIV prevention services highest in gay and bisexual men at greatest risk
Men at highest risk, and those likely to be in contact with sexual health services, are those who report most contact with a range of current HIV prevention activities. Offering combination prevention, including outreach by peer health workers, increased uptake of sexual health services delivering behavioural and biomedical interventions, and supported by social marketing to ensure continued community engagement and support, could be the way forw…
Willingness to Participate in Future HIV Prevention Studies Among Gay and Bisexual Men in Scotland, UK
This article examines willingness to participate in future HIV prevention research among gay and bisexual men in Scotland, UK. Anonymous, self-complete questionnaires and OrasureTM oral fluid samples were collected in commercial gay venues. 1,320 men were eligible for inclusion. 78.2% reported willingness to participate in future HIV prevention research; 64.6% for an HIV vaccine, 57.4% for a behaviour change study, and 53.0% for a rectal microbic…

Exposure and impact of a mass media campaign targeting sexual health amongst Scottish men who have sex with men
The campaign had demonstrable reach. The analysis showed partial support for the role of mass media campaigns in improving sexual health outcomes. This suggests that a role for mass media campaigns remains within combination HIV prevention
How Acceptable are Antiretrovirals for the Prevention of Sexually Transmitted HIV?
Factors associated with recency of HIV testing amongst men residing in Scotland who have sex with men
Rates of HIV testing are increasing among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Scotland and the UK. However, it remains vital to encourage MSM to test for HIV. The aim of the current study was to determine which factors discriminated among three groups of MSM: those tested for HIV within the previous year, those who had tested over one year previously, and those who had never tested. Cross-sectional data were collected using self-report, anonymous …
Implementing an Injury Prevention Briefing to aid delivery of key fire safety messages in UK children’s centres
Incorporating service provider perspectives and scientific evidence into health education initiatives enhances potential for successful implementation, particularly when supplemented by ongoing training and facilitation
Double-standards in reporting of risk and responsibility for sexual health
The framing of men as a risk to women, whilst women are presented at the same time as responsible for patrolling sexual encounters, organising contraception and preventing sexual ill health reinforces gender stereotypes and undermines efforts to promote a collective responsibility for sexual health. This has implications for sexual ill health prevention and could continue to reinforce a negative culture around sex, relationships and sexual health…
The stigmatisation of abortion
The media play a significant part in shaping public perceptions of health issues, and abortion attracts continued media interest. Detailed examination of media constructions of abortion may help to identify emerging public discourse. Qualitative content analysis was used to examine if and how the print media in contributes to the stigmatisation of abortion. Articles from seven British and five Scottish national newspapers from 2010 were analysed …

Parental perceptions of barriers and facilitators to preventing child unintentional injuries within the home
There are a range of barriers to, and facilitators for parents undertaking injury prevention that would be addressable during the design of home safety interventions. Addressing these in future studies may increase the effectiveness of interventions
Approaches used by parents to keep their children safe at home
Parents' injury prevention practices encompass a range of strategies that are fluid in line with the child's age and stage of development; however, parents report that they still find it challenging to decide which strategy to use and when

Acceptability of HIV self-sampling kits (Tiny vial) among people of black African ethnicity in the UK
This unique and rigorous research offers insights into participants' views on SSK interventions, offering key considerations when targeting this population.. Given the plethora of HIV testing options, our work demonstrates that those commissioning and delivering SSK interventions will need to clarify (for users and providers) how each kit type and intervention design adds value. Most significantly, these findings demonstrate that without a strong…
