    This paper presents independent associations between complex multimorbidity and health-related quality of life using the EQ-5D-5L instruments.

  • User experiences, usability, and social presence of a peer-to-peer support app

    Catherine Benedict, Allison J Lazard et al.ARTICLEJournal of Applied Communication…2021

    Young adult (YA) cancer survivors often experience social isolation. Mobile apps facilitate peer-to-peer connections, yet little is known about their use. YA survivors (N = 181) were surveyed about a peer-to-peer cancer support app. Among those with it downloaded, 36% reported daily/weekly use. One-to-one messaging and group chat features were easy-to-use and useful, but facilitation of social presence was variable. Within group chats, 55% partic…

  • A qualitative exploration of the prescribing and use of statins in asymptomatic people in Ireland

    Open AccessPaula Byrne, Órla O’donovan et al.ARTICLEHealth An Interdisciplinary…2021Citada por: 1Referências: 56

    There has been a notable increase in the use of statins in people without cardiovascular disease but who may be at risk in the future. The majority of statin users now fall into this category but little research has focused exclusively on this group. Debate has ensued regarding medicating asymptomatic people, and processes described variously as medicalisation, biomedicalisation and pharmaceuticalisation are used to explain how this happens. Thes…

  • We Are What We Read

    Open AccessEmily Tillotson, Susan M Smith et al.ARTICLEAdvances in Social Work2021

    A school of social work devised a process to assess the implicit curriculum by auditing the required readings to identify the race and gender of the authors. As a profession, we espouse a strong commitment to social justice and diversity. Yet we know that there are limitations to our objectivity and that auditing is a valuable tool that can reveal biases. The concrete data provided by an audit can help reveal and disrupt entrenched patterns. The …

  • Rehabilitating the mind

    Open AccessSusan M Smith, Susan SmithARTICLETranscultural Psychiatry2020

    Transcultural psychiatry has increased awareness of alternative approaches to mental health and wellbeing, influencing developments in Western psychotherapeutic treatments.

    Focussing on a Fieldwork study of the West Usambaras in Tanzania, this study, first published in 1990, deals with processes of class formation and capitalist accumulation, and the dynamics of rural poverty and gender relations.

The research focuses on a micro-level study of a London suburb with a highly mobile population in the late 19th century. Vaccination registers have provided a source to identify all births in a sample of streets in Fulham during the period…
