Marketing social et nudge: Comment changer les comportements en santé ?
No full textThis chapter is not available on ChesterRep.This book chapter presents how nudge theory and social marketing were used to inform the design of the TUP app (an acronym for 'Find A Condom' in French) as well as collaborative and sustainable developments. The TUP app aims at enabling condom use by collaborative and up-to-date mapping of places selling or giving (free) condoms. Key indicators and features of the app as well as marketing strategy are detailed in the light of a white-label development
Testing the social validity of the CATZ cross-age teaching zone anti-bullying intervention among school students
Get PDF© 2023 The Author(s). Published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.Bullying is a considerable problem among school students, and school-wide positive behaviour support interventions are regarded as helpful in addressing it. One approach is the CATZ Cross-age Teaching Zone anti-bullying intervention. The present study assessed the social validity of the CATZ anti-bullying intervention among a sample of 9–15-year-olds in a pre-post experimental design (N = 817, of which 546 experienced CATZ). Overall, participants expressed moderately positive views of the CATZ anti-bullying intervention, and these became significantly stronger following direct experience of it. Among participants who experienced the CATZ anti-bullying intervention, social validity ratings predicted a greater willingness to engage in it in the future. Alongside the extant data for its effectiveness, our findings support the wider use of the CATZ anti-bullying intervention in schools, and suggestions for how this might be brought about are discussed
Barriers to breast and cervical cancer screening uptake among Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic women in the United Kingdom: evidence from a mixed-methods systematic review
Get PDFBackground: Cancer is currently the leading cause of mortality globally, with new cancer cases estimated at 19.3 million and almost 10 million deaths in 2020. Specifically, breast and cervical cancer incidence and mortality prevalence among women of the minority group or marginalised populations in Europe have continued to be a public health concern due to the low uptake of cancer screening. Thus, this study utilised a mixed-method systematic review to identify barriers to breast and cervical screening uptake among Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic women in the United Kingdom. Methods: Databases including PubMed, CINAHL, British Nursing Index, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Scopus databases, were systematically searched for studies on barriers to breast and cervical screening uptake among Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic women in the United Kingdom published in English between January 2010 to July 2022. This mixed-method systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines in reporting the included studies’ results. The cluster mapping approach was used to identify and classify the barriers into themes. Results: Thirteen eligible studies were included in this current review. Seven of the thirteen studies used quantitative cross-sectional research design, while six used qualitative cross-sectional research design. These studies were conducted across the United Kingdom. Five themes were developed from the cluster mapping, and thirty-four sub-theme barriers to the uptake of breast and cervical cancer screening among Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic women in the United Kingdom were identified. The developed themes in relation to the barriers include; socio-demographic characteristics, health service delivery, cultural, religious & language, the gap in knowledge & awareness, and emotional, sexual & family support. Conclusion: The study concluded that barriers in socio-demographic characteristics, health service delivery, cultural, religious and language, the gap in knowledge & awareness, and emotional, sexual & family support were identified as non-uptake of breast and cervical cancer screening among Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic women in the United Kingdom. Reducing or eliminating these barriers would improve the benefits of timely breast and cervical cancer screening in the United Kingdom
Exploring the perceived influence of social media use on disordered eating in nutrition and dietetics students
Get PDFBackground: Social media use (SMU) is increasingly widespread. More recently, SMU has been associated with increases in disordered eating; however, few qualitative studies have explored this issue in nutrition and dietetics students specifically, where susceptibility to disordered eating may be particularly high. The present study therefore aimed to investigate the perceived impact of SMU on disordered eating in nutrition and dietetics students. Methods: One‐to‐one, in‐depth, semi‐structured interviews were conducted with nutrition and dietetics students from universities across the UK. Interviews explored students’ views on the potential influence of SMU on their eating‐related thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Data were thematically analysed to identify key themes. Results: The findings suggested that SMU may provide students with a useful tool for the exploration of new recipes, ingredients and health‐related information, thus enabling them to improve their eating behaviour and diet quality. However, students also showed high levels of objective awareness regarding the problems associated with SMU, including the presence of misinformation, body image dissatisfaction, social pressures and disordered eating. Interestingly, despite enabling them to detect sources of misinformation, students also discussed the negative impact that their course had on their eating habits, suggesting course content may be an additional risk factor for the development of disordered eating for this particular group. Conclusions: Future research should investigate ways to mitigate the negative impact of SMU and course content on disordered eating in nutrition and dietetics students
An investigation of mental healthcare pathways for patients with psychosis who engage in antisocial behaviours
Get PDFThis is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in The Journal of Forensic Psychiatry & Psychology on 30/08/2023, available online: https://doi.org/10.1080/14789949.2023.2251949Secure mental health services aim to assess and treat mentally disordered offenders, where a patients care pathway involves their movement from service to service on an individual journey towards recovery. Research has attempted to understand the relationship between psychosis and violence for mentally disordered offenders. From this empirical evidence base a tripartite typology has emerged. Three subgroups have been categorised as (i) schizophrenia preceded by conduct disorder (SZ+CD), (ii) offenders with schizophrenia who begin offending at illness onset (SZ+AS), and (iii) offenders with schizophrenia (SZ). This study aimed to examine differences in care pathways between subgroups. The sample consisted of 77 male patients admitted to low- and medium-secure care. The subgroup of patients was determined from data collected from health records. The analysis examined the differences in patient care pathways. The results demonstrated differences in subgroup pathways to, within and from secure services. The SZ+CD subgroup had a higher number of placements used, were more likely to transition between the same level of security, and had an increased use of the private sector. The SZ+AS subgroup was significantly more likely to use intensive care and less likely to use high secure services. Examining care pathways of mentally disordered offenders will ensure a more evidence-based approach to the configuration and operationalisation of services, help guide policymakers and hopefully improve patient care.The AAM was added to the record on 13/11/202
Acquired brain injury (ABI) survivors’ experience of occupation and activity during their inpatient stay: a scoping review
Get PDFThis is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Disability and Rehabilitation on 20/11/2023, available online: https://doi.org/10.1080/09638288.2023.2281601This review aimed to characterise and map: (1) what type of evidence and what dominant study characteristics are available regarding acquired brain injury (ABI) survivors’ experience of occupation and activity in hospital? (2) How are occupation and activity conceptualised in the literature? (3) How are ABI survivors experiencing occupation and activity while in hospital? (4) What factors create barriers or opportunities for engagement in occupations or activity in hospital? (5) Are there any knowledge gaps identified? Materials and methods: A scoping review was conducted examining literature published between 2017 and 2022. Relevant studies were systematically retrieved from electronic databases. Results: Thirty-four publications were included. There were more quantitative studies (n = 18). Much of the research has been conducted outside of the UK. The populations studied were principally stroke (n = 22). The concept of activity rather than occupation predominates. Patients spend their time alone and inactive. Structural and contextual barriers for engaging in activity are identified. Qualitative study designs exclude ABI survivors with communication or cognitive impairment. Conclusions: There is a paucity of research with ABI survivors in hospitals in the UK. Alternative methodological approaches such as ethnography would ensure those with communication or cognitive impairment are not excluded from research

Evaluation of services for younger parents at Halton Lodge Children’s Centre
Get PDF© University of ChesterIn 1999 a report by the Social Exclusion Unit (SEU) identified that the children of younger parents, and indeed younger parents themselves, were more likely to experience poor outcomes. The government’s ten year Teenage Pregnancy Strategy marked a renewed focus on teenage pregnancy as a priority area for intervention. Central to its aims are the reduction of teenage pregnancy rates and; the provision of support which will improve the life chances of teenage parents and their children.
Sure Start local programmes are expected to reach certain targets regarding contact with, and registration of, pregnant women in their areas. In acknowledging the ‘apprehensions of teenage parents about taking part in activities with older parents’ (Sure Start Unit, 2005, p.571) the advice for working with teenage parents also highlights the need for centres to adopt a specialised, young person-centred approach to providing services for younger parents. The aim of this commissioned research project was to examine the provision of services for younger parents by Sure Start Jolly Giraffe at Halton Lodge Children’s Centre
Transatlantic Drift: The Ebb and Flow of Dance Music
No full textTitled Transatlantic Drift: The Ebb and Flow of Dance Music, this book tracks the evolving story of electronic dance music from WWII to the Millennium, as the beat bounced between Europe and North America. It will be published by Reaktion, in 2024.
Music is not formed in isolation; humans are social animals, keen to draw on influences, to come together collectively, to share music, whether in their hometowns or travelling the world to share melody, and to feel the beat, communally. From Detroit to Wigan; from Dusseldorf to Chicago; from New York to Ibiza, the story of dance music has been a conversation between many people, in many, many different areas, communicating through the beat. This book will interrogate those ideas

Numer. Anal. 58(1) 2020, pp. 66‐85]. In this article, we shall consider the Mittag‐Leffler integrators for more general models: stochastic semilinear subdiffusion and superdiffusion driven by fractionally integrated additive noise. The mild solutions of our models involve four different Mittag‐Leffler functions. We first consider the existence, uniqueness and the regularities of the solutions. We then introduce the full discretization schemes for solving the problems. The temporal discretization is based on the Mittag‐Leffler integrators and the spatial discretization is based on the spectral method. The optimal strong convergence error estimates are proved under the reasonable assumptions for the semilinear term and for the regularity of the noise. Numerical examples are given to show that the numerical results are consistent with the theoretical results
