Prioritising community-defined interventions to address the health and well-being impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on racially minoritised communities in East London: results from an adapted James Lind Alliance priority setting partnership.

Objectives: Racially minoritised communities (RMCs) were disproportionately affected by COVID-19, experiencing among the highest mortality rates of the UK's pandemic. We sought to understand the priorities for action to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health and well-being of RMCs in the ethnically diverse and socioeconomically unequal area of East London, located in the northeastern part of London, England.

Design: Prospective surveys and a consensus meeting following the established James Lind Alliance priority setting partnership (PSP) methodology, adapted for a specific geographic location and ethnic groups.

Assessing the Polarising Impacts of Low-Traffic Neighbourhoods: A Community Perspective from Birmingham, UK.

Globally, the transport sector is a major contributor to air pollution. Currently, in the UK, vehicle emissions contribute significant amounts of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) pollution in urban areas. Low-emission-zone policies have been used as an intervention to tackle air pollution, and in this context, the UK launched the Low-Traffic Neighbourhood scheme.

Prevention of sexual transmission of mpox: a systematic review and qualitative evidence synthesis of approaches.

Background: The ongoing multi-country mpox outbreak in previously unaffected countries is primarily affecting sexual networks of men who have sex with men. Evidence is needed on the effectiveness of recommended preventive interventions. To inform WHO guidelines, a systematic review and qualitative evidence synthesis were conducted on mpox preventive behavioural interventions to reduce: (i) sexual acquisition; (ii) onward sexual transmission from confirmed/probable cases; and (iii) utility of asymptomatic testing.

Staff disability data in UK higher education: Evidence from EDI reports.

Objectives: To explore how higher education institutions (HEIs) make transparent the data they collect on staff disability, and how this relates to existing equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) charters.

Design: Descriptive cross-sector quantitative study based on UK HEIs.

Setting: Higher education sector in the UK.

Barriers and facilitators to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis for cisgender and transgender women in the UK.

Uptake of oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among cisgender and transgender women in the UK has been low. In this Review, we explore the barriers and facilitators to PrEP access for these groups, with a focus on health equity. We included 20 studies, including seven abstracts presented at conferences.

The current state of immunization against Gram-negative bacteria in children: a review of the literature.

Purpose Of Review: Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) are a major cause of infection worldwide and multidrug resistance in infants and children. The major pathogens include Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii.

Using patient-reported outcome measures to improve service effectiveness for supervisors: a mixed-methods evaluation of supervisors' attitudes and self-efficacy after training to use outcome measures in child mental health.

Background: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are recommended by healthcare systems internationally, but there are a number of barriers to implementation. The aim of this research was to examine the impact of training supervisors in using PROMs on clinical practice, given the importance of leadership when changing behaviour.

Method: Data included pre-post questionnaires from 42 supervisors, interviews after training with six supervisees and nonparticipant observations of nine video-recorded supervision sessions.
