Objectives: to examine perceived age discrimination in a large representative sample of older adults England. Methods: this cross-sectional study over 7,500 individuals used data from the fifth wave English Longitudinal Study Ageing (ELSA), longitudinal cohort men and women aged 52 years Wave 5 asked respondents about frequency five everyday discriminatory situations. Participants who attributed any experiences their were treated as cases discrimination. Multivariable logistic regression...
Background Logic models are becoming an increasingly common feature of systematic reviews, as is the use programme theory more generally in reviewing. offer a framework to help reviewers 'think' conceptually at various points during review, and can be useful tool defining study inclusion exclusion criteria, guiding search strategy, identifying relevant outcomes, mediating moderating factors, communicating review findings. Methods Findings In this paper we critique logic reviews protocols...
To assess the mental health and experiences of discrimination among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) people at start COVID-19 pandemic.Data come from a cross-sectional online survey targeted LGBTQ+ people, which collected data on health, number other pandemic-related experiences. examine association between sexual orientation gender discrimination, we conducted regression analyses that adjusted for range sociodemographic variables.A web-based was used to collect end April...
Exploring the relationship between vaping and smoking in young people is a key area of research that can inform e-cigarette policy. Rigorous evidence mapping synthesis have highlighted gaps methodological concerns base. This study provides recommendations for conduct reporting future quantitative primary exploring use later cigarette (≤29 years).

The hostile environment that older lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people faced at younger ages in the United Kingdom (UK) may have a lasting negative impact on their health. This systematic scoping review adds to current knowledge base through comprehensively synthesising evidence what is known about extent nature of health care inequalities, as well highlighting gaps which point way towards future research priorities. We searched four databases, undertook manual searching,...

Abstract Background Embedding researchers into policy and other settings may enhance research capacity within organisations to enable them become more active. We aimed generate an evidence map on evaluations of embedded researcher interventions (i) identify where systematic reviews primary are needed (ii) develop conceptual understandings ‘embedded researchers’. define researchers’ through a set principles that incorporate elements such as the aim activities, types relationships learning...
Public health interventions can be complicated, complex and context dependent, making the assessment of applicability challenging. Nevertheless, for them to use beyond original study setting, they need generalisable other settings and, crucially, research users able identify which contexts it may applicable. There are many tools with set criteria assessing generalisability/applicability, yet few seem widely used there is no consensus on should used, or when. This methodological aimed test...
Public health decision-making structures in England have transformed since the implementation of reforms 2013, with responsibility for public services and planning having shifted from "health" boundary to local authority (LA; government) control. This transformation may interrupted flows research evidence use introduced a new political element decision-making. For generators evidence, understanding responding this landscape decision-makers' needs is essential.We conducted systematic scoping...
Local public health service delivery and policy-setting in England was overhauled 2013, with local government now responsible for the complex tasks involved protecting improving population addressing inequalities. Since funding per person has declined, adding to challenge of decision-making. In a climate austerity, research evidence could help guide more effective use resources, although there are concerns that reorganisation decision-making structures disrupted traditional patterns. This...
Abstract Aim Developing policies and services to address health inequalities occurs within highly complex, political environments, the literature points an underutilisation of research. This ineffective mobilisation evidence is a result challenges emerging from both research practice organisations. In response, many interventions have been funded enhance “research activity” in public decision-making, but we lack holistic understanding what characterises activity these settings. Addressing...
Background: Limited international research suggests sexual minority individuals, in particular women, may experience worse asthma outcomes than their heterosexual peers. However, little has explored if a similar disparity is present the UK. Methods: Pooling data from five UK longitudinal studies (total N=86,024, 4,860 (5.65% minority) we examined and lung function by sexuality. To explore impact of ageing on disparities compared sexuality at two time points approximately 10 years apart. help...
