We examine trends in words/terms published in Health & Place between 1995 and 2018. Terms used have diversified over this period, including a decline in 'health' overall, as well as greater usage of 'diet', 'alcohol' and 'depression'. There was a noticeable increase in using 'neighbourhood' to describe context. Topic modelling reveals that papers are increasingly concerned with specific aspects of place (e.g. the built environment). Our findings emphasise that Health & Place has matured into the leading outlet for examining the geographical dimensions of health with important and enduring insights that continue to inform research and policy.

School of Mathematics, Statistics & Computer Science, University of KwaZulu Natal, Durban, South Africa.
Background: In causal analyses, some third factor may distort the relationship between the exposure and the outcome variables under study, which gives spurious results. In this case, treatment groups and control groups that receive and do not receive the exposure are different from one another in some other essential variables, called confounders.
Method: Place of birth was used as exposure variable and age-specific childhood vaccination status was used as outcome variables.

There is a good evidence-base for interventions which can improve sleep, however currently they are not being implemented into NHS practice. To address the evidence-practice gap, we have conducted early-phase development for an inpatient sleep intervention (ASLEEP); a multi-level intervention to improve inpatient sleep in UK hospital wards.
