Article Synopsis
- Childhood bullying is a significant public health issue, and the KiVa program was evaluated for its effectiveness and costs in reducing bullying in schools.
- A study involving 118 primary schools randomized participants into either the KiVa intervention or a usual practice group, reporting a decrease in bullying victimization among the KiVa group and increased empathy.
- The KiVa program costs slightly more per pupil initially but shows promising results for public health regarding bullying reduction without affecting other behavioral measures significantly.
Background: To date, no research has compared longer-term outcomes (antibiotic provision; re-consultations; hospital admissions for quinsy; cost-effectiveness) following presentation with acute sore throat at general practice (GP) versus newer, pharmacy-led services.
Methods: A retrospective, longitudinal cohort study of sore throat consultations between 1 November 2018 and 28 February 2020 either with the Wales pharmacy-led sore throat test and treat (STTT) service or with a healthcare professional at GP. Individual-level pharmacy consultation data from the national Choose Pharmacy IT application were securely uploaded to the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage Databank and linked to routinely collected, anonymized, population-scale, individual-level, anonymized health and administrative data.
Background: 'Inhalants' have been associated with poorer mental health in adolescence, but little is known of associations with specific types of inhalants.
Aims: We aimed to investigate associations of using volatile substances, nitrous oxide and alkyl nitrates with mental health problems in adolescence.
Method: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from 13- to 14-year-old adolescents across England and Wales collected between September 2019 and March 2020.
Background: Despite the considerable morbidity caused by recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs), and the wider personal and public health implications from frequent antibiotic use, few studies adequately describe the prevalence and characteristics of women with rUTIs or those who use prophylactic antibiotics.
Aim: To describe the prevalence, characteristics, and urine profiles of women with rUTIs with and without prophylactic antibiotic use in Welsh primary care.
Design And Setting: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study in Welsh general practice using the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank.
