Abstract Background COVID‐19 vaccines can offer a route out of the pandemic, yet initial research suggests that many are unwilling to be vaccinated. A rise in spread misinformation is thought have played significant role vaccine hesitancy. To maximize uptake, it important understand why has been able take hold at this time and may pose more problem within certain contexts. Objective people's beliefs, their interactions with (mis)information during attitudes towards vaccine. Design...
Early interventions are recognised as key to improving life chances for children and reducing inequalities in health well-being, however there is a paucity of high quality research into the effectiveness address childhood development outcomes. Planning implementing standalone RCTs multiple, individual would be slow, cumbersome expensive. This paper describes protocol an innovative experimental birth cohort: Born Bradford's Better Start (BiBBS) that will simultaneously evaluate impact...
Medical Research Council (MRC) guidance identifies implementation as a key element of the development and evaluation process for complex healthcare interventions. Implementation is itself involving mobilization human, material, organizational resources to change practice within settings that have pre-existing structures, historical patterns relationships, routinized ways working. Process evaluations enable researchers clinicians understand how proceeds what factors impact on intended program...

Economic, physical, built, cultural, learning, social and service environments have a profound effect on lifelong health. However, policy thinking about health research is dominated by the 'biomedical model' which promotes medicalisation an emphasis diagnosis treatment at expense of prevention. Prevention has tended to focus 'downstream' interventions that rely individual behaviour change, frequently increasing inequalities. Preventive strategies often isolated leverage points are scattered...

ABSTRACT Improving children's health and development in their early years is important, urgent and, cost‐effective. But it's difficult to do. Using an example from Bradford the UK we argue that integration, innovation community engagement are key. Long‐term funding also helps. Problems with multiple causes need “whole system” responses. This includes integration of research, commissioning service delivery. We test innovations, learn about how they received, modify them again. A dynamic...
Many interventions that are delivered within public health services have little evidence of effect. Evaluating being as a part usual practice offers opportunities to improve the base health. However, such evaluation is challenging and requires integration research into system-wide practice.
