  • Applying machine-learning to rapidly analyze large qualitative text datasets to inform the Covid-19 pandemic response

    Open AccessLauren B Towler, Lauren Towler et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction: Machine-assisted topic analysis (MATA) uses artificial intelligence methods to help qualitative researchers analyze large datasets. This is useful for researchers to rapidly update healthcare interventions during changing healthcare contexts, such as a pandemic. We examined the potential to support healthcare interventions by comparing MATA with "human-only" thematic analysis techniques on the same dataset (1,472 user responses from…

  • The Agile Co-production and Evaluation framework for developing public health interventions, messaging and guidance

    Open AccessLiz Yardley, Lucy Yardley et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    A lesson identified from the COVID-19 pandemic is that we need to extend existing best practice for intervention development. In particular, we need to integrate (a) state-of-the-art methods of rapidly coproducing public health interventions and messaging to support all population groups to protect themselves and their communities with (b) methods of rapidly evaluating co-produced interventions to determine which are acceptable and effective. Thi…

    Open AccessCathryn Pinto, Adam W A Geraghty et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    People with MND and caregivers can find digital mental health interventions useful. Intervention accessibility and flexibility are important for developing acceptable and engaging interventions for MND

  • Non-pharmaceutical interventions and risk of Covid-19 infection

    Open AccessNick Francis, Taeko Becque et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    This large observational study found evidence for strong protective effects for individuals from use of face coverings, social distancing (including avoiding crowded places) and handwashing on arriving home on developing COVID-19 infection. We also found evidence for an increased risk associated with other behaviours, possibly from recall bias

  • Mpox knowledge, behaviours and barriers to public health measures among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men in the UK

    Open AccessTom May, Lauren B Towler et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    There are differential needs, preferences, and experiences of GBMSM that limit the acceptability of some mitigation and prevention measures. Future public health interventions and campaigns should be co-designed in consultation with key groups and communities to ensure greater acceptability and credibility in different contexts and communities

  • Understanding adherence to self-isolation in the first phase of the Covid-19 pandemic in England

    Open AccessCharlotte Robin, Rosy Reynolds et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Understanding adherence to isolation and associated reasoning during the early stages of the pandemic is essential to pandemic preparedness for future emerging infectious disease outbreaks. Individuals make complex decisions around adherence by calibrating transmission risks, therefore treating adherence as binary should be avoided

  • Parallel randomized controlled feasibility trials of the “Active Brains” digital intervention to protect cognitive health in adults aged 60–85

    Open AccessRosie Essery, Sebastien Pollet et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Introduction: Multidomain interventions to address modifiable risk factors for dementia are promising, but require more cost-effective, scalable delivery.

Results: We collected 67.2 and 76.1% of our 12-month primary outcome (Baddeley verbal reasoning task) data for the "lowe…

  • The Rapid Adaptation and Optimisation of a Digital Behaviour-Change Intervention to Reduce the Spread of Covid-19 in Schools

    Open AccessGeorgia Treneman‐Evans, Georgia Treneman-Evans et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    The rapid transmission of COVID-19 in school communities has been a major concern. To ensure that mitigation systems were in place and support was available, a digital intervention to encourage and facilitate infection-control behaviours was rapidly adapted and optimised for implementation as a whole-school intervention. Using the person-based approach, 'Germ Defence' was iteratively adapted, guided by relevant literature, co-production with Pati…

  • A qualitative process analysis of daily contact testing as an alternative to self-isolation following close contact with a confirmed carrier of Sars-CoV-2

    Open AccessSarah Denford, Alex F Martin et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Participants in this study viewed DCT as a sensible, feasible, and welcome means of avoiding unnecessary self-isolation. Although negative LFTs provided reassurance, most people still restricted their activity as recommended. DCT was also highly valued by those in vulnerable households as a means of providing reassurance of the absence of infection and as an important means of detecting infection and prompting self-isolation when necessary

  • Exploring the impact of shielding advice on the wellbeing of individuals identified as clinically extremely vulnerable amid the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessGemma Lasseter, Polly Compston et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    This research highlights the difficulties in providing generic messaging that is applicable and appropriate given the diversity of individuals identified as CEV and the importance of sharing tailored and timely advice to inform shielding decisions. Providing messages that reinforce self-determined action and assistance from support services could reduce the negative impact of shielding on mental health and feelings of social isolation

  • Adapting Behavioral Interventions for a Changing Public Health Context

    Open AccessKatherine Morton, Ben Ainsworth et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Background: A rigorous approach is needed to inform rapid adaptation and optimisation of behavioral interventions in evolving public health contexts, such as the Covid-19 pandemic. This helps ensure that interventions are relevant, persuasive, and feasible while remaining evidence-based. This paper provides a set of iterative methods to rapidly adapt and optimize an intervention during implementation. These methods are demonstrated through the ex…

  • Engagement With Daily Testing Instead of Self-Isolating in Contacts of Confirmed Cases of Sars-CoV-2

    Open AccessSarah Denford, Alex F Martin et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Introduction: In December 2020 and January 2021 Public Health England (PHE) with NHS Test and Trace conducted a study to explore the feasibility and acceptability of daily testing as an alternative to self-isolation following close contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case. This qualitative paper aims to identify factors influencing uptake among those offered daily testing, and the subsequent impact on behaviour. Methods: We conducted in-depth inter…

  • To Adapt or Not to Adapt

    Open AccessLouise Schinckus, Stephan Van Den Broucke et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Self-management education (SME) is a key determinant of diabetes treatment outcomes. While SME programs are often adapted for implementation, the impact of adaptations on diabetes SME effectiveness is not well documented. This study evaluated the impact of the implementation fidelity of diabetes SME programs on program effectiveness, exploring which factors influence implementation fidelity. Data from 33 type 2 diabetes SME program providers and …

  • Preventing within household transmission of Covid-19

    Open AccessSarah Denford, Katherine Morton et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    The provision of accommodation to prevent within household transmission of Covid-19 is viewed as acceptable, feasible and necessary by some people who are concerned about infection transmission in the home and are unable to self-isolate or socially distance at home. Different households will have different requirements, e.g., those with caring responsibilities, and to overcome these challenges additional support may be needed for the provision of…

  • Multidisciplinary research priorities for the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessEmily A Holmes, Rory C O''Connor et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Psychiatry2020

  • Harnessing behavioural science in public health campaigns to maintain ‘social distancing’ in response to the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessChris Bonell, Susan Michie et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2020Citada por: 6Referências: 26

    Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), like Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), is an infection arising from a coronavirus. The COVID-19 pandemic is unprecedented in recent times in terms of the global spread of infection and the resultant morbidity, mortality and burden on health systems. In the absence of a vaccine, reducing transmission of the COVID-19 virus requires rapid and extensive behaviour…

  • Understanding and Promoting Effective Engagement With Digital Behavior Change Interventions

    Open AccessLiz Yardley, Lucy Yardley et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Preventive…2016

  • Public preferences for vaccination and antiviral medicines under different pandemic flu outbreak scenarios

    Open AccessHelena Rubinstein, Afrodita Marcu et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Promoters and barriers to being vaccinated and taking antiviral medicines are multi-dimensional and communications to promote uptake are likely to be most effective if they address several components of behaviour. The benefit of using the COM-B model is that it is at the core of an approach that can identify effective strategies for behaviour change and communications for the future. Identity beliefs were salient for decisions about vaccination. …

  • Material Discourses of Health and Illness

    Lucy YardleyBOOKMaterial Discourses of Health and…2013Citada por: 57

    Material Discourses of Health and Illness applies discursive approaches to the field of health psychology, in stark contrast to the bio-medical model of health and illness. The discursive approach uses the person's experience and feelings as the central focus of interest, whereas the more traditional models regarded this as coincidental and relatively unimportant. Lucy Yardley explores the way in which the meaning, context and consequences of bod…

  • Patients' appraisals of public and private healthcare

    Open AccessKatherine J Bradbury, Katherine Bradbury et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2013Citada por: 1Referências: 30

    Patients have previously reported differences in their experiences of treatments received in the public and private sectors; it remains unclear whether such perceived differences are particular to or shared across different interventions. This study explored whether patients' appraisals of public and private treatments are similar when appraising a complementary therapy (osteopathy) compared to a mainstream therapy (physiotherapy). Thirty-five qu…

  • Experiences of adjusting to early stage Multiple Sclerosis

    Open AccessLaura Dennison, Liz Yardley et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2011Citada por: 10Referências: 26

    Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a progressive, unpredictable neurological disease. Little research has examined adjustment to living with MS, especially within early disease stages. We interviewed 30 people with early stage MS and analysed transcripts using thematic analysis. Early stage MS was typically considered difficult but manageable and was dealt with through positivity and practical strategies to preserve normal life. However, adjustment seeme…
