    Physical inactivity in older adults presents a significant problem within modern societies globally. Using a mixed-method approach, this study explored strategies for the development and delivery of physical activity (PA) interventions by investigating what behaviour change techniques (BCTs) are useful, and how these techniques should be implemented to be feasible for older adults. Sixty-six older adults completed a survey indicating the most use…

Using the Illness Perception Questionnaire, perceptions of CF were examined in individuals with CF aged 16 to 25 and two groups of same-aged peers: those who did, or did not, k…

    There is considerable debate in the current literature, regarding the appropriateness and effectiveness of incarceration as a means of punishment for perpetrators of drug-related crime. Researchers have begun to question incarceration due to factors such as expanding prison populations, the economic burden placed upon society, the negative consequences and side-effects for offenders, and the apparent ineffectiveness of incarceration as a long-ter…
