Response to written feedback of clinical data within a longitudinal study: a qualitative study exploring the ethical implications
No full textBackground
There is a growing ethical imperative to feedback research results to participants but there remains a striking lack of empirical research on how people respond to individualised feedback. We sought to explore longitudinal study participants’ response to receiving individual written feedback of weight-related and blood results, and to consider the balance of harms against benefits.
Methods
A qualitative study with face-to-face and telephone interviews conducted with 50 men and women who had participated in the fifth and most recent wave of the cohort study ‘West of Scotland Twenty-07’ and received a feedback letter containing body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, cholesterol and glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) results.
Results
Expectations of, and response to, the feedback of their individual results varied. Whilst half of the participants were on the whole ‘pleased’ with their results or held neutral views, half reported negative responses such as ‘shock’ or ‘concern’, particularly in relation to the weight-related results. Participants who were overweight and obese used the most negative language about their results, with some being quite distressed and reporting feelings of powerlessness, low self-image and anxiety over future health. Nevertheless, some people reported having implemented lifestyle changes in direct response to the feedback, resulting in significant weight loss and/or dietary improvements. Others reported being motivated to change their behaviour. Age and gender differences were apparent in these narratives of behaviour change.
Conclusions
The potential harm caused to some participants may be balanced against the benefit to others. More evaluation of the impact of the format, content and means of individualised feedback of research findings in non-trial studies is required given the growing ethical imperative to offer participants a choice of receiving their results, and the likelihood that a high percentage will choose to receive them
BBC Radio 3 - Free Thinking - Running
No full textWe've been running for two million years give or take. Shahidha Bari and Laurence Scott explore contemporary running as solitary inspiration and communal activity with the Geographer and 1999 Scottish Hill Running Champion, Hayden Lorimer, the artists Kai Syng Tan and Angus Farquhar, and the literary scholar and bare-foot artiste, Vybarr Cregan-Reid. Conversation ranges from feeling empowered on city streets to teaming up with the wind to the horrid history of the treadmill and explore whether Running deserves better representation in the arts.
Guests: Vybarr Cregan-Reid - author of Footnotes How Running Makes Us Human
Angus Farquhar, Creative Director of NVA Public Art, author of a blog 'The Grim Runner'
Hayden Lorimer Running Geographer
Kai Syng Tan, Artist and curator of a biennial festival Run Run Run

An examination of the work of Sir Robert Lorimer
No full textThis thesis provides a chronological account of
Lorimer's career and his work in eight chapters. The aim
is to show how his work developed during his lifetime. The
opportunities he was able to grasp, and his achievements
in building design and landscaping are discussed.
The second, allied, aim of this thesis is to show how
Lorimer's abilities developed within the three different
roles which he assumed at the professional level. The
first two chapters discuss his development in early years;
chapters 3, 4 and 5 discuss his middle years as a private
architect, mainly for domestic buildings; chapter 6
discusses his role as a principal architect for the Imperial
War Graves Commission, for which he acted in a public role;
chapter 7 discusses the Scottish National War Memorial,
for which he acted as National Architect.
Lorimer's work is appraised at each stage in his
career, and the fact that he enjoyed several different
reputations in his own lifetime is discussed. Whereas he
was seen as a pioneer at the end of the last century, by
the end of the first decade of this century he was widely
known as a Gothicist. His country houses then gained him
the reputation of being the Scottish Lutyens, and finally
in the thirties, the Scottish National War Memorial evoked
a national pride so intense that it confirmed Lorimer more
as a patriot than as any particular caste of architect
