Interesting PhD opportunity researching sleep and health in the Police with Evangelia : gla.ac.uk/colleges/mvls/…

Are you a local government with a public health scheme in need of evaluation? Our call is open until 6 February 2024 Find out more nihr.ac.uk/funding/23150-…

And for Judith Green who spoke expertly about the need to integrate qualitative methods into evaluations of natural experiments.

University of Westminster are hiring! Great opportunity for a full time qualitative research fellow to work on an NIHR-funded project to evaluate the effectiveness of technological interventions to prevent suicide in public spaces. vacancies.westminster.ac.uk/hrvacancies/de…

This needs to be more widely understood. The whole idea that measures to limit the dominance and harms of cars are to the detriment of less affluent people is nonsense. Fact: Poorer people more likely to be harmed by cars and less likely to drive them!

A short 🧵

Few of the many responses to the death of Cormac McCarthy acknowledge that for many years (until well into his 80s) he gave advice on writing to researchers at the Santa Fe Institute. Not bad for a 'reclusive' writer: nature.com/articles/d4158…

The key point being the need for DWP to be far more open about sharing data with researchers...

Looking forward to reading the report. By blocking its release for so long and emphasising the sensitive nature of the findings, DWP Ministers have cleverly ensured that it is keenly anticipated and will be very widely read.

Important messages for funders and commissioners of services for people who need long term support to move into work.

Terrific, fully-funded PhD opportunity Improving Health...

And a good explainer in The Herald - nice to see a natural experimental approach described as 'a gold-standard method of evaluating the effectiveness of public health policies': heraldscotland.com/politics/23400…

A very important study and I'm learning lots from it about the evaluation of complex interventions.

But the report actually shows that the association between obesity rates and productivity (or worklessness) is weak at local authority level, and does not even attempt to show that obesity reduces productivity/employment (rather than the other way round).

📢Save the date! 📢Improving Health is bringing you 'Stepping up' - an interactive event for schools and young people aged 14 or above (S3 and up) on navigating the road to becoming an adult and starting independent life. More at👇
