Evaluating implementation of a fire-prevention injury prevention briefing in children's centres: cluster randomised controlled trial (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Many developed countries have high mortality rates for fire-related deaths in children aged 0–14 years with steep social gradients. Evidence-based interventions to promote fire safety practices exist, but the impact of implementing a rang...

Use of conspicuity aids by cyclists and risk of crashes involving other road users: population based case-control study (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Cycling can improve health and well-being by reducing inactivity. Concern about collision crashes may be a barrier to participation since collision crashes can lead to significant mortality and morbidity. The conspicuity of cyclists may b...

Detection in blood of autoantibodies to tumour antigens as a case-finding method in lung cancer using the EarlyCDT®-Lung Test (ECLS): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer related death worldwide. The majority of cases are detected at a late stage when prognosis is poor. The EarlyCDT®-Lung Test detects autoantibodies to abnormal cell surface proteins in the ear...

Association between maternal depression and anxiety episodes and rates of childhood injuries: a cohort study from England (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Maternal depression is common and associated with several child health outcomes. The impact on childhood injuries is underexplored, with existing studies relying on maternal reporting of injury occurrences. Using population healthcare dat...
