Where the 'bad' and the 'good' go: A multi-lab direct replication report of Casasanto (2009, Experiment 1).

Casasanto (Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 138, 351-367, 2009) conceptualised the body-specificity hypothesis by empirically finding that right-handed people tend to associate a positive valence with the right side and a negative valence with the left side, whilst left-handed people tend to associate a positive valence with the left side and negative valence with the right side. Thus, this was the first paper that showed a body-specific space-valence mapping. These highly influential findings led to a substantial body of research and follow-up studies, which could confirm the original findings on a conceptual level.

Evaluating the nutrition and body mass index clinical link pathway in mental health and learning disability services: A mixed-methods study.

This research involved an evaluation of the Nutrition and Body Mass Index Clinical Link Pathway (NBMI CLiP) implemented in practice across Severe Mental Illness and/or learning disabilities ward in Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust (TEWV), to understand how the NBMI CLiP is used, inpatient staff feedback on the CLiP for supporting service users to manage their weight, and whether using the NBMI CLiP impacted on staffs' own weight management. To account for the uneven distribution of the secondary data, descriptive statistics such as medians and the inter-quartile range were conducted to assess anychanges in recording of Body Mass Index, nutrition screening (SANSI) and intervention planss. Staff survey data investigated barriers and facilitators to using the NBMI CLiP in practice and the impact on their own weight management.

Considerations for peer research and implications for mental health professionals: learning from research on food insecurity and severe mental illness.

What Is Known On The Subject: Peer research methodologies and methods are increasingly used in research, particularly to benefit from lived experiences. The experiences of peer researchers with severe mental illness are less common, including the impact on them of conducting peer-led research.

What The Paper Adds To Existing Knowledge: This paper shares the experience of peer research and suggests in the context of food insecurity, that it is not well understood by some healthcare professionals.

A quasi-experimental mixed between-within design was employed with participants assigned to 1 of 2 conditions.

Understanding perceptions of the public and key stakeholders toward a localised cancer screening promotion campaign.

The aim of this study was to explore perceptions of members of the public and key stakeholders of a localised campaign to increase engagement with cervical cancer screening. Whilst numerous interventions have been trialled to increase engagement with cancer screening, the evidence for their effectiveness is somewhat mixed. In addition, few studies have explored the perceptions of members of the public targeted by such campaigns nor the perceptions of healthcare professionals who may be involved in delivering such campaigns in the United Kingdom.
