Brief interventions to prevent excessive alcohol use in adolescents at low-risk presenting to Emergency Departments
While drinking levels remained low in this population, this trial found no evidence that PFBA with or without eBI was more effective than screening alone in reducing or delaying alcohol consumption
An application of Extended Normalisation Process Theory in a randomised controlled trial of a complex social intervention
Extended Normalisation Process Theory provided a useful framework for assessing implementation and explaining variation by examining intervention-context interactions. Findings highlight the need for process evaluations to consider both the structural and process components of implementation to explain whether programme activities are delivered as intended and why
Linked randomised controlled trials of face-to-face and electronic brief intervention methods to prevent alcohol related harm in young people aged 14–17 years presenting to Emergency Departments (Sips…

Making the economic case for prevention – a view from Wales
The issue here is not one of arguing that the economic evaluation of prevention and early intervention should be treated differently, although in some instances that may be appropriate, rather it is about making the case for these interventions to be treated and evaluated to the same standard. The difficulty arises when a higher standard of cost saving may be expected from prevention and public health programmes.The paper concludes that it is of …
Does the Association between Depressive Symptomatology and Physical Activity Depend on Body Image Perception? A Survey of Students from Seven Universities in the UK
This cross-sectional study assessed the association between depression and PA in university students of both genders and the role of body image perception as a potential effect modifier. Undergraduate students (N = 3706) from seven universities in the UK completed a self-administered questionnaire that assessed sociodemographic information; a range of health, health behaviour and health awareness related factors; the modified version of Beck's De…
Feeling Healthy? A Survey of Physical and Psychological Wellbeing of Students from Seven Universities in the UK
University students' physical and psychological health and wellbeing are important and comprise many variables. This study assessed perceived health status in addition to a range of physical and psychological wellbeing indicators of 3,706 undergraduate students from seven universities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. We compared differences in these variables across males and females, and across the participating universities. The data was…
Engagement and Action for Health
A multi-site evaluation (survey) of five Kellogg-funded Community Partnerships (CPs) in South Africa was undertaken to explore the relationship between leadership skills and a range of 30 operational, functional and organisational factors deemed critical to successful CPs. The CPs were collaborative academic-health service-community efforts aimed at health professions education reforms. The level of agreement to eleven dichotomous (‘Yes/No’) lead…
Independence pays
Although there is an increasing amount of literature on direct payments (DP), to date there have been few studies which have examined in any detail the costs and resources associated with them. This paper presents findings from a two year study conducted in two Welsh local authorities that jointly fund an Independent Living Support (ILS) scheme. The main study was not designed to provide definitive cost comparisons with conventional services, how…
The UK Burden of Injury Study – a protocol. [National Research Register number
This study will provide more detailed data on the national burden of injuries than has previously been available in any country and will contribute to international collaborative efforts to more accurately assess the global burden of injuries. The results will be used to advise policy makers on prioritisation of preventive measures, support the evaluation of interventions, and provide guidance on the likely impact and degree of impairment and dis…
Empowering healthcare workers in Africa
In most African nations, the trumpet has sounded for joint-working, inter-agency working and multi-sectoral working. However, there are a number of lessons to be learned from collaborative schemes and initiatives that have been undertaken. In particular, attention needs to be drawn to the 'black box' where interactions between the diverse partners take place, irrespective of the 'package' the stakeholders hope to deliver to the targeted beneficia…
Collaboration and partnerships
Despite the growing literature that collaboration is a 'good' thing, there are calls emphasising the need for evidence of its effectiveness. However, the nature of the evidence to assess effectiveness is less clear. This paper examines the components that contribute to the challenges that confront evidence on collaboration. It considers the differing interpretations that have been placed on evaluation and explores how ways of determining the outc…
The health status of diabetic patients receiving orthotic therapy
Economics of a reduction in smoking
STUDY OBJECTIVE--This study aims to apply economic principles and techniques in evaluating a health promotion programme. DESIGN--This study is an economic appraisal of the Heartbeat Wales no smoking intervention programme. The costs incurred over the four year period 1985-89 have been identified and estimates have been made of the likely future impact of the reduced smoking prevalence within Wales in terms of reduced morbidity and displaced morta…
Full‐time Mature Students in Higher Education
A questionnaire was sent to full‐time mature students studying within higher education so as to identify their characteristics and examine their expectations and experiences. The results showed that sixty‐five per cent of respondents entered higher education for career purposes, although the percentage was lower for females and declined with age. All mature students anticipated encountering more problems adapting to higher education and of an aca…
