Background:

School travel mode and parenting practices have been associated with children’s physical activity (PA). The current study sought to examine whether PA parenting practices differ by school travel mode and whether school travel mode and...

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 121(8), https://doi.org/10.1111/1471-0528.12810

Objectives: To determine whether the use of ultrasound can reduce the incidence of incorrect diagnosis of the fetal head position at instrumental delivery and subsequent morbidity.

Design: Two-arm, parallel, randomised trial, conducted from June 2...

Health services changes: is a run-in period necessary before evaluation in randomised clinical trials? (2014)
Journal Article
Rathod, T., Belcher, J., Montgomery, A. A., Salisbury, C., & Foster, N. (2014). Health services changes: is a run-in period necessary before evaluation in randomised clinical trials?. Trials, 15(41), https://doi.org/10.1186/1745-6215-15-41

Background

Most randomised clinical trials (RCTs) testing a new health service do not allow a run-in period of consolidation before evaluating the new approach. Consequently, health professionals involved may feel insufficiently familiar or confid...

Antibiotic prescribing in primary care and antimicrobial resistance in patients admitted to hospital with urinary tract infection: a controlled observational pilot study (2014)
Journal Article
Costelloe, C., Williams, O. M., Montgomery, A. A., Dayan, C., & Hay, A. D. (2014). Antibiotic prescribing in primary care and antimicrobial resistance in patients admitted to hospital with urinary tract infection: a controlled observational pilot study. Antibiotics, 3(1), https://doi.org/10.3390/antibiotics3010029

There is growing evidence that primary care prescribed antibiotics lead to antibiotic resistance in bacteria causing minor infections or being carried by asymptomatic adults, but little research to date has investigated links between primary care pre...
