“…health education in national school curricula, and public health initiatives will improve outcomes not only for children but also for adults across the age spectrum. 145,146 Healthcare services Healthcare services have historically been separated into community-based (primary care) and hospital-based (secondary or tertiary care) teams. Child diseases might broadly be divided into acute (e.g meningococcal septicaemia) and chronic diseases (e.g.…”

AbstractThrough a structured narrative review of the literature, we have identified a wide range of factors influencing child and adolescent mortality in high income countries. These can be conceptualised within the four domains of intrinsic factors, the physical environment, the social environment, and service delivery factors. The most prominent factors in the literature are socio-economic gradients, although the mechanisms through which these gradients exert their effects are complex, affecting all four domains, and often poorly understood. While some factors are relatively fixed, including the child's gender, age, ethnicity and inherent genetic make-up, some parental characteristics, and some wider 3 environmental conditions, others may be amenable to interventions that could lessen risks and help to prevent future child deaths. A number of examples of systemic health service factors that may impact child survival are given, along with interventions such as modifications to the physical or social environmental that may impact more distal factors.

“…An interesting issue linked to the level of status ascribed to PSHE education and its relative relationship to attainment, relates to schools situated in more deprived areas and/or facing more challenging circumstances (for further discussion see Formby et al, 2011;Stiell, 2011). From the case study data, there is some evidence to suggest that schools located in more affluent areas, and with the aims of being 'higher achieving schools', were less likely to prioritise PSHE education delivery.…”

“…The review identified a need to "establish and report on the prevalent models of delivery for PSHE education" (Macdonald, 2009:8). Sheffield Hallam University were therefore commissioned by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF), now the Department for Education (DFE), to conduct a mapping study of PSHE education in England (Formby et al, 2011). Part way through this research, however, a general election took place resulting in a new (coalition) government coming to power and the relevant clauses from the Children, Schools and Families Bill (2010) being removed in the preceding 'wash up' period.…”

“…The staff (two teachers and two members of staff from Kick It) who delivered the intervention in this small-scale evaluation also gave very positive feedback; Operation Smoke Storm comes with detailed lesson plans and thus requires minimal teacher preparation, making it suitable for use by busy staff who have many competing demands on their time and who may have little or no subject-specific knowledge or training. 37 To date, there has been no evaluation of the effectiveness of Operation Smoke Storm in preventing smoking uptake among students who receive the intervention.…”

“…36 In many secondary schools PSHE is taught by form tutors, although many of these may lack the training, skills and experience to deliver content effectively; only 22% of PSHE teachers have any relevant training, and half of secondary schools have no staff with continuing professional development accreditation in the subject. 37 Therefore, an intervention needs to be accessible to teaching staff with no subject-specific training. In addition, schools face an increasing number of demands on their time and, thus, any intervention must be suitable for implementation with little preparation.…”

Background: Smokers who start smoking at an early age are less likely to quit and more likely to die from their habit. Evidence from the US Truth® campaign suggests that interventions focusing on tobacco industry practices and ethics may be effective in preventing smoking uptake. Objectives: In an exploratory study, to develop, pilot and provide preliminary evidence of the acceptability and effectiveness of Operation Smoke Storm, a school-based intervention based on the premise of the Truth® campaign, to prevent smoking uptake. Design: Mixed-methods, non-randomised controlled study. Component 1 was delivered to Year 7 students, and student focus groups and teacher interviews were conducted to refine the lessons and to develop components 2 and 3. The revised Year 7 lessons and accompanying family booklet were delivered to new Year 7 students 1 year later in one school only; Year 8 students in both schools received the booster session. Setting and participants: Students in Years 7–8 (aged 11–13 years) in two UK schools. Intervention: A three-component intervention comprising (1) three 50-minute classroom-based sessions in Year 7 in which students acted as secret agents to uncover industry practices through videos, quizzes, discussions and presentations; (2) an accompanying family booklet containing activities designed to stimulate discussions about smoking between parents and students; and (3) a 1-hour interactive classroom-based booster session for Year 8 students, in which students learnt about tobacco marketing strategies from the perspectives of an industry executive, a marketing company and a health campaigner. Main outcome measures: Odds ratios to compare the self-reported prevalence of ever smoking and susceptibility to smoking in Year 8 students after the delivery of the booster session in study schools compared with students in local control schools. Qualitative data on acceptability of the intervention. Results: The combined prevalence of ever smoking and susceptibility increased from 18.2% in Year 7 to 33.8% in Year 8. After adjusting for confounders there was no significant difference in the odds of a Year 8 student in an intervention school being an ever smoker or susceptible never smoker compared with controls [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.28, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.83 to 1.97; p = 0.263] and no significant difference in the odds of ever smoking (aOR 0.82, 95% CI 0.42 to 1.58; p = 0.549). Students mostly enjoyed the intervention and acquired new knowledge that appeared to strengthen their aversion to smoking. Teachers liked the ‘off-the-shelf’ nature of the resource, although they highlighted differences by academic ability in the extent to which students understood the messages being presented. Use of the family component was low but it was received positively by those parents who did engage with it. Limitations: Logistical difficulties meant that students’ responses in Year 7 and Year 8 could not be linked; however, baseline smoking behaviours differed little between intervention...
