“…As well as being influenced by the number of people with swine flu, this measure may also have been affected by changes in doctor and patient behaviour as a result of changing information, perceptions or concerns about the illness. 48 However, alternative measures, such as the volume of calls to a telephone helpline or the number of GP consultations relating to influenza-like illness, were even more likely to be affected by levels of worry in the community, 7,45 whereas the number of deaths from swine flu were too low to be a useful marker.…”

“…This is inconsistent with reports from other countries. 45 It is possible than any genuine effect of this event was masked by a greater effect produced by the World Health Organization's statement that a full pandemic had begun 4 days previously. Alternatively, any effect of the first death may have subsided over the 4-day interval which occurred before data collection began for the next survey wave.…”

Objectives:To assess the association between levels of worry about the possibility of catching swine flu and the volume of media reporting about it; the role of psychological factors in predicting likely uptake of the swine flu vaccine; and the role of media coverage and advertising in predicting other swine flu-related behaviours. Design: Data from a series of random-digit-dial telephone surveys were analysed. A time series analysis tested the association between levels of worry and the volume of media reporting on the start day of each survey. Cross-sectional regression analyses assessed the relationships between likely vaccine uptake or behaviour and predictor variables. Setting: Thirty-six surveys were run at, on average, weekly intervals across the UK between

“…44,45 Group sizes in the present study were determined by usual attendance at the BLF 'Breathe Easy' groups (typically n = 8-10 attendees, but up to n = 30 possible). The aim was to conduct 4-6 focus groups, with an expected sample size of 32-60 participants; this is typical of focus group studies and is at the higher end of recommended sample sizes for qualitative work.…”

“…It should be recognised, however, that the UK Chief Medical Officer has reported that as of 3 March 2010 148,000 pregnant women had been vaccinated, which is less than one-quarter of the total. 45 It is important to ensure that all pregnant women without contraindications are offered vaccination and that these women have adequate information available about safety and efficacy of vaccines in pregnancy to make an informed choice. …”

. It provides the framework through which the research staff and research infrastructure of the NHS in England is positioned, maintained and managed as a national research facility.The NIHR provides the NHS with the support it needs to conduct first-class research funded by the Government and its partners alongside high-quality patient care, education and training. Its aim is to support outstanding individuals (both leaders and collaborators), working in world-class facilities (both NHS and university), conducting leading-edge research focused on the needs of patients.This themed issue of the Health Technology Assessment journal series contains a collection of research commissioned by the NIHR as part of the Department of Health's (DH) response to the H1N1 swine flu pandemic. The NIHR through the NIHR Evaluation Trials and Studies Coordinating Centre (NETSCC) commissioned a number of research projects looking into the treatment and management of H1N1 influenza.NETSCC managed the pandemic flu research over a very short timescale in two ways. Firstly, it responded to urgent national research priority areas identified by the Scientific Advisory Group in Emergencies (SAGE). Secondly, a call for research proposals to inform policy and patient care in the current influenza pandemic was issued in June 2009. All research proposals went through a process of academic peer review by clinicians and methodologists as well as being reviewed by a specially convened NIHR Flu Commissioning Board.The final reports from these projects have been peer reviewed by a number of independent expert referees before publication in this journal series. Criteria for inclusion in the HTA journal seriesReports are published in the HTA journal series if (1) they have resulted from work for the HTA programme or, in the case of this national priority, the NIHR, and (2) they are of a sufficiently high scientific quality as assessed by the referees and editors.Reviews in Health Technology Assessment are termed 'systematic' when the account of the search, appraisal and synthesis methods (to minimise biases and random errors) would, in theory, permit the replication of the review by others.The research reports in this themed issue were funded through the Cochrane Collaboration; the Health Services Research programme (HSR); the Health Technology Assessment programme (HTA); the Policy Research Programme (PRP); the Public Health Research programme (PHR); and the Service Delivery and Organisation Programme (SDO).The Cochrane Collaboration is an international not-for-profit and independent organisation, dedicated to making up-to-date, accurate information about the effects of health care readily available worldwide. It produces and disseminates systematic reviews of health-care interventions and promotes the search for evidence in the form of clinical trials and other studies of interventions. Cochrane reviews and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials are published and updated in The Cochrane Library (www.cochranelibrary.com).The HSR programm...
