Using technology to improve access to mental health services, pop up uni, 4pm...NHS England
Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

Alison McFadden, Senior Research Fellow, Director, Mother and Infant Research Unit, School of Nursing and Health Sciences, University of Dundee and Anna Gavine, Research Fellow School of Nursing and Health Sciences, University of Dundee will be leading the session and presenting findings from their recent Cochrane review:
McFadden A, Gavine A, Renfrew M, Wade A, Buchanan P, Taylor J, et al. (2017). Support for healthy breastfeeding mothers with healthy term babies . Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2017(2), CD001141.
Evidence suggests that not breastfeeding negatively impacts the health of both infants and mothers. Additionally, data demonstrates an inadequate uptake of the World Health Organization’s recommendations regarding type and duration of breastfeeding in many countries. This review examines the impact of breastfeeding support interventions on breastfeeding duration and exclusivity in healthy breastfeeding mothers with healthy term babies, compared to usual care. One-hundred trials with over 83,246 mother-infant pairs were included in this review. Seventy-three of the one-hundred trials were involved in the data analyses. Findings suggest that breastfeeding support interventions reduce cessation of ‘any breastfeeding’ before 4 to 6 weeks and 6 months, and cessation of ‘exclusive breastfeeding’ at 4 to 6 weeks and at 6 months. This webinar will provide an overview of the impact of support on breastfeeding duration and exclusivity in healthy breastfeeding mothers with healthy term babies.

Dr. David Foxcroft, President, European Society for Prevention Research (EUSPR), Professor of Community Psychology and Public Health, Department of Psychology, Social Work and Public Health, Oxford Brookes University led the session and presented findings from his recent Cochrane review:
Foxcroft D, Coombes L, Wood S, Allen D, Almeida Santimano N, & Moreira M. (2016). Motivational interviewing for the prevention of alcohol misuse in young adults. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2016(7), CD007025. https://www.healthevidence.org/view-article.aspx?a=motivational-interviewing-prevention-alcohol-misuse-young-adults-29645
According to the World Health Organization, alcohol is responsible for approximately 9% of deaths within the 15-29 year old age bracket. This review examines the effectiveness of MI interventions for preventing alcohol misuse and alcohol-related problems in young adults. Eighty-four trials with 22,872 participants were included in this review. Findings suggest that MI interventions only slightly reduce quantity of alcohol consumed, frequency of alcohol consumption, and peak blood alcohol concentration, and only marginally reduce alcohol problems in young adults aged up to 25 years, compared to no intervention/placebo/treatment as usual. This webinar provided an overview of the effectiveness of MI interventions in preventing alcohol misuse and alcohol-related problems in young adults.

Alison O'Mara-Eves, Senior Researcher, University College London, EPPI-Centre and Ginny Brunton, Senior Health Researcher, University College London, EPPI-Centre presented findings from their review:
O'Mara-Eves A., Brunton G., Oliver S., Kavanagh J., Jamal F., & Thomas J. (2015). The effectiveness of community engagement in public health interventions for disadvantaged groups: A meta-analysis . BMC Public Health, 15, 129.
Community engagement is becoming an increasingly popular component included in the development and implementation of public health interventions. Involved community members take on roles that range from merely being informed, to being consulted, to collaborating or leading on the design, delivery and evaluation of public health strategies. This review examines the use of public health interventions with a community engagement component, particularly for its use in reducing health inequities among disadvantaged populations. Findings of the review suggest community engagement in public health interventions has an effect on several health outcomes, including health behaviours and self-efficacy. This webinar will examine the effectiveness and components of public health interventions that include community engagement and the impact on health outcomes.
Interventions for preventing elder abuse: What's the evidence?Health Evidence™

http://www.healthevidence.org/view-article.aspx?a=interventions-preventing-abuse-elderly-29428
Many older adults experience some form of abuse (psychological, physical, and sexual) that often goes unreported. Elder abuse is associated with morbidity and premature mortality. This review examines the effectiveness of interventions for preventing elder abuse in the home, institutions and community settings. Findings of the review suggest there is uncertainty in the effectiveness of educational interventions to improve knowledge of caregivers about elder abuse and uncertainty on its effect of reducing abuse. This webinar will examine the effectiveness and components of interventions that prevent elder abuse.
Early Intervention: Improving Access to Mental Health by 2020 [Presentations]Sarah Amani
Most mental illnesses begin in adolescence or early adulthood – the vital time in life when we establish our independence. Mental illness can derail this process with long-lasting effects. We know that the earlier we can engage a young person in treatment the better their outcomes – but young people are the least likely to seek help from mental health services. This is not helped by the separation of services at age 18.
The good news is that we know that early intervention makes a difference in getting young people well and keeping them well. Early intervention teams have been established for psychosis in England for the last 12 years. Psychosis is a serious mental illness affecting 1-2% of the population, with about 500 new cases every year in the Oxford AHSN area.
Early intervention in psychosis is a specialist, community-based service providing medical, psychological and family-based treatments. It helps get young people back to work or education and keeps an eye out for any early signs of relapse so that they can be prevented. Early intervention teams are highly valued by young people and their families. They also save the health service money by keeping people well and getting them back to work.
The Early intervention in mental health network will make sure that this best practice is in place across the Oxford AHSN region with the highest standard of care provided everywhere. We also aim to spread this early intervention model across other conditions (such as eating disorders, personality disorder, autistic spectrum conditions) to help more young people.
World class research is being undertaken in Oxford AHSN and across England into early psychosis – both into the causes and to trial new treatments. We aim to make this research available to every patient being seen by our early intervention teams. We will also look to develop new innovations and technologies that could improve the experience of young people receiving mental healthcare.

Over the past three decades, the school environment has been a particular focus of efforts to influence youth smoking behaviour. This review examines the effectiveness of school-based smoking prevention curricula in keeping children never-smokers. 50 RCTs (74 different intervention arms, n=143 495) are included in this review. For baseline child and adolescent never-smokers, a significant effect in preventing starting smoking (12%) was found at the longest follow up. However, there was no effect of school-based smoking prevention curricula at ≤1 year except for social competence and combined social competence + social skills curricula. This webinar will highlight which curricula types are most effective, as well as the gaps in knowledge that remain with regard to smoking prevention curricula in youth.
As the burden of NCDs increases, various countries have introduced new and innovative modes of managing them in primary healthcare setting.

Dr. Reed A.C. Siemieniuk, MD, PhD(c), Department of Medicine, University of Toronto, Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact, McMaster University led the session and presented findings from their recent systematic review:
Siemieniuk R, Foroutan F, Mirza R, Mah Ming J, Alexander PE, Agarwal A, et al. (2017). Antiretroviral therapy for pregnant women living with HIV or hepatitis B: A systematic review and meta-analysis. BMJ Open, 7(9), e019022.
This review assesses the impact of various antiretroviral/antiviral regimens in pregnant women living with HIV or hepatitis B virus (HBV). Forty-three studies were included in the review. The most common comparison was tenofovir and emtricitabine versus zidovudine and lamivudine. There was no apparent difference between tenofovir-based regimens and alternatives in maternal outcomes, including serious laboratory adverse events and serious clinical adverse events. There was no difference between NRTIs in vertical transmission of HIV or vertical transmission of HBV. We found moderate certainty evidence that tenofovir/emtricitabine increases the risk of stillbirths and early neonatal mortality and the risk of early premature delivery at less than 34 weeks. Tenofovir/emtricitabine is likely to increase stillbirth/early neonatal death and early premature delivery compared with zidovudine/lamivudine, but certainty is low when they are not coprescribed with lopinavir/ritonavir. Other outcomes are likely similar between antiretrovirals.
Lyuba Lytvyn, MSc, PhD(c), Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact, McMaster University also briefly presented the findings from their linked systematic review on values and preferences of pregnant women with HIV:

Health Evidence™ hosted a 60 minute webinar examining the effects of weight loss interventions for adults who are obese on mortality, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Follow this link to access to the audio recording for this webinar: https://youtu.be/olF1bvaofXE
Dr. Alison Avenell, Clinical Chair in Health Services Research, and Sam (Chenhan) Ma, from the Health Services Research Unit at the University of Aberdeen presented an overview of findings from their latest systematic review and meta-analysis:
Ma C, Avenell A, Bolland M, Hudson J, Stewart F, Robertson C, et al. (2017). Effects of weight loss interventions for adults who are obese on mortality, cardiovascular disease, and cancer: Systematic review and meta-analysis. BMJ, 359, j4849.
Adults with obesity have an increased risk of premature mortality, cardiovascular disease, some cancers, type 2 diabetes, and many other diseases. This review assesses whether weight loss intervention for adults with obesity affect all cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and body weight. Fifty-four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 30,206 participants were identified in the review. High quality evidence showed that weight loss interventions decrease all cause mortality, with six fewer deaths per 1000 participants. Moderate quality evidence showed an effect on cardiovascular mortality, and very low quality evidence showed an effect on cancer mortality. Weight reducing diets, usually low in fat and saturated fat, with or without exercise advice or programmes, may reduce premature all cause mortality in adults with obesity.

Dr. Jasper Been, Consultant Neonatologist at the Erasmus University MC-Sophia Children’s Hospital and Honorary Research Fellow in the Centre for Medical Informatics at the University of Edinburgh led the session and presented findings from their recent systematic review and meta-analysis:
Faber T, Kumar A, Mackenbach J, Millett C, Basu S, Sheikh A, & Been JV. (2017). Effect of tobacco control policies on perinatal and child health: A systematic review and meta-analysis. The Lancet Public Health, 2(9), e420-e437.
Tobacco smoking and smoke exposure during pregnancy and childhood cause considerable childhood morbidity and mortality. This review examines the effect of tobacco control policies on perinatal and child health. Forty-one studies were included in the review. Implementation of smoke-free legislation was associated with reductions in rates of preterm birth, rates of hospital attendance for asthma exacerbations and rates of hospital attendance for all respiratory tract infections and for lower respiratory tract infections. Among two studies assessing the association between smoke-free legislation and perinatal mortality, one showed significant reductions in stillbirth and neonatal mortality but did not report the overall effect on perinatal mortality, while the other showed no change in perinatal mortality. Meta-analysis of studies on other MPOWER policies was not possible; all four studies on increasing tobacco taxation and one of two on offering disadvantaged pregnant women help to quit smoking that reported on our primary outcomes had positive findings. These findings provide strong support for implementation of such policies comprehensively across the world.

Vitamin A deficiency is a major public health problem in low- and middle-income countries, affecting 190 million children under five years of age and leading to many adverse health consequences, including death. This review examines the effectiveness of vitamin A supplementation (VAS) for preventing morbidity and mortality in children aged six months to five years. Forty-seven randomized control trials involving approximately 1,223,856 children were included in this review. VAS was associated with a clinically meaningful reduction in morbidity and mortality in children.

Changing diet and physical activity behaviour is one of the cornerstones of type 2 diabetes treatment, but changing behaviour is challenging. The objective of this study was to identify behaviour change techniques (BCTs) and intervention features of dietary and physical activity interventions for patients with type 2 diabetes that are associated with changes in HbA1c. Thirteen RCTs were identified. Diet and physical activity interventions achieved clinically significant reductions in HbA1c at three and six months, but not at 12 and 24 months. Specific BCTs and intervention features identified may inform more effective structured lifestyle intervention treatment strategies for type 2 diabetes.

Alors que la prévalence de l’obésité augmente, les interventions classiques en matière de perte de poids démontrent l’existence d’obstacles à la mise en œuvre et des résultats mitigés en ce qui concerne l’efficacité. Cette revue systématique et méta-analyse examinent l’impact des interventions livrées sur Internet offrant une rétroaction personnalisée pour la perte de poids chez les adultes en surpoids et obèses, par rapport au groupe témoin ne recevant pas de rétroaction personnalisée. Douze essais contrôlés randomisés, comptant un total de 3547 participants, sont inclus dans cet examen. Les données probantes suggèrent que les interventions sur Internet offrant une rétroaction personnalisée augmentent la perte de poids de 5 % après 3 et 6 mois, et diminuent l’IMC et le tour de taille après 3, 6 et ≥ 12 mois. Ce webinaire a présenté un aperçu de l’efficacité des interventions sur Internet offrant une rétroaction personnalisée pour la perte de poids chez les adultes en surpoids et obèses.

Sexually active adolescents are at risk of contracting HIV and STIs. Unintended pregnancy can have detrimental impact on young people’s lives. This review examines the impact of school sexual education programs on number of young people that contract STIs and number of adolescent pregnancies. Eight cluster randomized control trials, including 55,157 participants are included in this review. Findings suggest there is little evidence that school programs alone are effective in improving sexual and reproductive health outcomes for adolescents. This webinar examined the effectiveness and components of interventions that prevent HIV, STIs and adolescent pregnancy.

Public health recommendations for fat reduction and modification as prevention of cardiovascular disease have changed little over time. This Cochrane review examines the effect of reducing saturated fat intake through modification on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality through 15 randomised control trials. 17 comparisons with 59,000 participants demonstrate a 17% (RR 0.83; 95% CI 0.72 to 0.96) reduction of cardiovascular events by reducing dietary saturated fat. This webinar will examine the effect of replacing saturated fat with carbohydrate, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and explore future recommendations.

Among men and women, colorectal cancer is the second and third most common cause of cancer related death, respectively. Colorectal cancer screening guidelines, developed by the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care, are based on a systematic review synthesizing evidence on the benefits and harms of screening, and the characteristics of effective screening tests. The guidelines, developed from the review, outline screening recommendations for adults aged 50 and older who are asymptomatic and not at high risk for colorectal cancer. This webinar provided a high level overview of the systematic review that informed these recommendations, followed by an overview of the recent Canadian screening guidelines.

There is growing public health concern about the amount of time spent sedentary. Too much time spent in sedentary behaviours is linked with poor health, including higher cardiometabolic risk markers, type 2 diabetes and premature mortality. The primary aim of this review is to evaluate the effect of interventions which include a sedentary behaviour outcome measure in adults. 51 randomised trials (involving 18,480 participants over 18 years old) assessed the effects of interventions which included sedentary behaviour as an outcome measure in adults. There is strong evidence that it is possible to intervene to reduce sedentary behaviours in adults by 22 min/day. This webinar provided an overview of the effectiveness of interventions on sedentary behaviour in adults and explored implementation recommendations.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

0.93, 95%CI 0.92-0.94) vs. no intervention
Alcohol use
Mean absolute reduction of 12 days/month (MUR
0.88, 95%CI 0.87-0.89) vs. no intervention
18. Implications: Practice & policy
Comprehensive Programs
Promote and support long-term comprehensive
programming to reduce alcohol and marijuana use
Includes development of life skills, refusal skills and self-
management skills in programming
Comprehensive programming is preferable to
knowledge-only for reducing alcohol and marijuana use
19. What’s the evidence?
Knowledge-only Programs
Marijuana use
Single study reported a significant reduction
Mean absolute reduction of 25 days/month (MUR
0.75, 95% CI 0.63 – 0.87)
Insufficient data to pool statistically
Alcohol use
Mean absolute reduction of 2 days/month (MUR
0.98, 95% CI 0.92-1.04)
21. Implications: Practice & policy
Knowledge-only Programs
Shift existing knowledge-only programs to long-
term comprehensive programs to reduce
alcohol use
New programming should include a skill
development focus to reduce both alcohol and
marijuana use
22. Overall Considerations
Comprehensive program: Mean reduction of
12 days of alcohol use/month
7 days of marijuana use/month
Knowledge-only program: Mean reduction of
2 days of alcohol use/month (non-significant)
25 days of marijuana use/month
Confounding factors not considered (e.g. age, gender,
socioeconomic status)
23. General Implications
Public health SHOULD promote / support / implement:
School-based
Comprehensive programs
Minimum one year duration
Knowledge-only programs if comprehensive programming is not
possible
