How is the Behavior Change Technique Content of the NHS Diabetes Prevention Program Understood by Participants? A Qualitative Study of Fidelity, With a Focus on Receipt

Lisa M. Miles et al.

Summary: This qualitative study investigates the understanding of self-regulatory behavior change techniques (BCTs) in the NHS Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) among participants. The results show that there is a wide variation in understanding for some BCTs, particularly in action planning and problem solving. The study suggests that behavioral interventions should provide necessary support to help participants better understand and apply these techniques.

From public issues to personal troubles: individualising social inequalities in health within local public health partnerships

Rebecca Mead et al.

Summary: This paper explores the implementation of public health policy through partnership working at the local level. It focuses on how local actors make sense of and address social inequalities in health. The study found that policy implementation often resulted in fragmented and short-term services and projects, with a focus on lifestyle factors. The process of individualisation led local professionals to conceptualise health inequality and social determinants of health as personal troubles.

A secondary analysis of the childhood obesity prevention Cochrane Review through a wider determinants of health lens: implications for research funders, researchers, policymakers and practitioners

James Nobles et al.

Summary: The study found that interventions evaluated through RCTs have mainly focused on downstream, individualistic determinants of obesity over the last 25 years, without addressing the complexity of its etiology. The findings call for a shift in focus of future research to better understand the multifactorial influences on obesity.

The theoretical basis of a nationally implemented type 2 diabetes prevention programme: how is the programme expected to produce changes in behaviour?

Rhiannon E. Hawkes et al.

Summary: This study found that various behavior change theories were used by providers in the National Health Service Diabetes Prevention Programme, but there was a lack of explicit logic models describing how interventions are expected to work. This resulted in discrepancies between the behavior change techniques selected in intervention design and the theory described.

Unequal impact of the COVID-19 crisis on minority ethnic groups: a framework for understanding and addressing inequalities

Srinivasa Vittal Katikireddi et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected minority ethnic groups, with inequalities arising through six pathways: differential exposure to the virus, vulnerability to infection/disease, health consequences, social consequences, effectiveness of control measures, and adverse consequences of control measures. Current research only partially understands these pathways, highlighting the need for further investigation into the complex interplay of social and biological factors in ethnic inequalities.
