“In My Social Circle, We Don’t Discuss Health risks”
BACKGROUND: Nicotine vaping products (NVPs) remain prevalent among Australian adolescents and young adults (AYAs), despite increasing evidence of associated health risks and evolving regulatory restrictions. While some youth acknowledge potential harms, many continue vaping, raising questions about the role of uncertainty tolerance in sustaining use. This study aimed to examine how AYAs perceive vaping-related health risks, experience uncertainty…
Mental health and support for rigorous tobacco control strategies in South Australia
Support for tax-focused strategies was lower among people with MHCs. Retail and product-focused strategies may support equity in public acceptability of tobacco control action. Policy-makers must aim to maximise tobacco endgame support from populations most impacted by tobacco harms when implementing tobacco control strategies. Tax-focused approaches might be enhanced with consultation and advocacy for people with MHCs
Impacts of conservation activities on people who are incarcerated
In the past two decades, conservationists and the corrections sector have implemented collaborative ecological restoration projects, creating more inclusive arenas for conservation. These venues provide people who are incarcerated with opportunities to have a positive impact on their environment, and for ecologists to communicate science and the importance of nature with people in nature-deprived environments. We provide examples of conservation …
British High Churchmen, Continental Church Tourism and the Roman Connection in the Nineteenth Century
This article examines accounts of continental church life to be found in the travel journals, letters and books of leading High Church Anglicans in the nineteenth century. It argues that these constitute a neglected source of evidence for understanding the interaction between continental church developments and the High Church revival in Anglicanism. It focuses particularly on accounts of travel in Catholic countries, and concludes that there are…
Physical activity in older women
OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between residential area-level deprivation, individual life-course socioeconomic position and adult levels of physical activity in older British women. METHODS: A cross-sectional study of 4286 British women aged 60-79 years at baseline, who were randomly selected from general practitioner lists in 23 British towns between April 1999 and March 2001 (the British Women's Heart and Health Study). RESULTS: All thre…
Minimum Incomes for Healthy Living (Mihl)
English Research worldwide is establishing basic needs for personal health and well-being. Official acceptance of this consensual evidence into policy tends to be slow, partial and unsystematic, resulting in avoidable health deficits, waste of human potential and costs to society. Minimum personal costs of meeting these basic needs can be assessed, together with costs of the popular consensus on other requirements for healthy decent participatory…
A minimum income for healthy living
METHODS In a first application we identified such representative minimal costs for healthy, single, working men aged 18–30, in the UK. Costs were derived from ad hoc survey, relevant figures in the national Family Expenditure Survey, and by pragmatic decision for the few minor items where survey data were not available
A ‘fluffy-minded Prayer Book fundamentalist’? F. D. Maurice and the Anglican Liturgy
The Liturgy has been to me a great theological teacher; a perpetual testimony that the Father, the Son, and the Spirit, the one God blessed for ever, is the author of all life, freedom, unity to men; that our prayers are nothing but responses to His voice speaking to us and in us. Why do I hear nothing of this from those who profess to reform it? Why do they appear only to treat it as an old praying machine, which in the course of centuries gets …
Educational attainment, deprivation-affluence and self reported health in Britain
STUDY OBJECTIVE: The level of material deprivation or affluence is strongly and independently correlated with all cause mortality at an area level, but educational attainment, after controlling for deprivation-affluence, remains strongly associated with coronary and infant mortality. This study investigated whether these relations hold at an individual level with self reported morbidity. DESIGN: Analysis of the cross sectional associations of sel…

Levels of mortality, education, and social conditions in the 107 local education authority areas of England
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationships between education, social conditions, and mortality. DESIGN: An ecological study relating several measures of mortality to local rates of educational attainment at age 15/16 years and scores on the Department of the Environment's index of local conditions. SETTING: England and its 107 local education authority areas in 1991. MAIN RESULTS: Educational attainment was closely associated with all caus…
Assessment of physical activity, and physical fitness, in population surveys
The superficial dorsal horn (SDH) of the spinal cord represents the first site of integration between innocuous and noxious somatosensory stimuli. According to gate control theory, diverse populations of excitatory and inhibitory interneurons within the SDH are activated by distinct sensory afferents, and their interplay determines the net nociceptive output projecting to higher pain centers. Although specific SDH cell types are ill-defined, nume…
Designing the National Resident Assessment Instrument for Nursing Homes
In response to the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1987 mandate for the development of a national resident assessment system for nursing facilities, a consortium of professionals developed the first major component of this system, the Minimum Data Set (MDS) for Resident Assessment and Care Screening. A two-state field trial tested the reliability of individual assessment items, the overall performance of the instrument, and the time involved in its…

Patterns of mortality in middle and early old age in the county boroughs of England and Wales
It is common knowledge that death rates vary from area to area, year to year, and between different groups of the population. These differences have been extensively studied but, very often, only in relation to a particular cause of death or a particular feature of the environment-the association of bronchitis with air pollution, for example, or population density with respiratory death rates. This paper, reporting a fairly comprehensive search f…
Assessment of Habitual Physical Activity apart from Occupation
The hypothesis that habitual physical activity protects against coronary (ischaemic) heart disease is derived from statistical comparisons which show that incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates vary inversely with the average levels of exercise involved in different occupations (Morris, Heady, Raffle, Roberts, and Parks, 1953). Similar findings were subsequently made in a variety of studies of occupa- tional groups in several countries (Brown…

Factors Involved in Learning a Simple Musical Theme
S ummary . 100 boys and girls of 13+ years of age were given repeated trials on a simple musical theme. The performance on eight consecutive trials was related to performance on a battery of musical and other tests and the factors underlying performance were elicited. It was found that the task was complex and changed in complexity during the eight trials. The learning curve for a hypothetical performer was broken down into a series of other curv…
Coronary Heart Disease in London Busmen
The incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) is less in the middle-aged conductors of London's double-decker buses than in the drivers of the same age.In particular, the "sudden death" rate of con- ductors under 50 is one-third that of drivers (Morris, Heady, Raffle, Roberts, and Parks, 1953; Morris and Raffle, 1954).By using information on sizes of uni- forms, Morris, Heady, and Raffle (1956) showed also that the girth of conductors was less th…
Social and Biological Factors in Infant Mortality
Surprisingly little has been published on the sub- ject of which women have their babies at home and which in hospital. It is, therefore, the purpose of this paper to indicate some at least of the factors which are related to the place of confinement. The relative importance of these various factors is shown; and the perinatal mortality rate is considered as a possible means of assessing whether the best use is being made of available maternity b…
