Article Synopsis
- Despite investment in social prescribing in England, there is still uncertainty about its effectiveness and how it integrates with broader health policies.
- The study involved interviews with key informants in the field, revealing inconsistencies in service delivery, standards, and referral processes among different organisations and regions.
- To conduct a meaningful national evaluation of the link worker model, standardized outcome measures and processes are essential to ensure consistent data collection and improve understanding of its impact.
Background: Screening programmes aim to identify individuals at higher risk of developing a disease or condition. While globally, there is agreement that people who attend screening should be fully informed, there is no consensus about how this should be achieved. We conducted a mixed methods study across eight different countries to understand how countries address informed choice across two screening programmes: breast cancer and fetal trisomy anomaly screening.

To date, no systematic review has investigated changes in population level CVD-related mortality over calendar time. It is unclear if this relationship has changed over time in higher-income countries with changing treatments.

Changes to international guidance have removed the requirement to complete physical activity in bouts of at least 10 min. Snacktivity is a novel and complementary approach that could motivate people to be physically active.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 14 families (15 parents and 8 patients), and analysed using Grounded Theory.
Background: Pregnancy is a high-risk time for excessive weight gain. The rising prevalence of obesity in women, combined with excess weight gain during pregnancy, means that there are more women with obesity in the postnatal period. This can have adverse health consequences for women in later life and increases the health risks during subsequent pregnancies.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: After childbirth, most women do not lose the extra weight gained during pregnancy. This is important because postnatal weight retention contributes to the development of obesity in later life. Research shows that postnatal women living with overweight would prefer to weigh less, are interested in implementing weight loss strategies, and would like support.

- MRI plays a critical role in managing brain tumor cases in children and young adults, but the emotional reactions and understanding of families regarding MRIs haven't been extensively studied.
- A qualitative study with interviews from 14 families revealed four main themes: the reception of results, emotional responses, understanding the images, and the perceived value of MRIs, with all families finding some benefit in viewing the scans despite varying emotional reactions.
- It's important for clinical teams to effectively explain MRIs, adapt to families' evolving preferences on viewing them, and manage the stress related to waiting for results, prioritizing accuracy over the speed of information delivery.
