Frequent hospital presenters' use of health information during COVID-19: results of a cross-sectional survey.

Background: High-frequency hospital users often present with chronic and complex health conditions and are at increased risk of serious morbidity and mortality if they contract COVID-19. Understanding where high-frequency hospital users are sourcing their information, whether they understand what they find, and how they apply the information to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is essential for health authorities to be able to target communication approaches.

Methods: Cross-sectional survey of 200 frequent hospital users (115 with limited English proficiency) informed by the WHO's "Rapid, simple, flexible behavioral insights on COVID-19".

Patients' perspectives of factors influencing active participation in healthcare interactions: A qualitative study.

Objective: To understand patients' perspectives of factors influencing their active participation in healthcare interactions.

The COM-B Behaviour Model was used to explore factors that influenced patient participation in healthcare communication.

Use of co-design methodology in the development of cardiovascular disease secondary prevention interventions: A scoping review.

Introduction: There is growing evidence to support the use of co-design in developing interventions across many disciplines. This scoping review aims to examine how co-design methodology has been used in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) secondary prevention interventions within health and community settings.

Methods: We searched four academic databases for studies that used the co-design approach to develop their intervention.
