Journal Article
Sanghera, S., Frew, E., Gupta, J. K., Kai, J., & Roberts, T. E. (2017). Sensitivity to scale of willingness-to-pay within the context of menorrhagia. Health Expectations, 20(2), https://doi.org/10.1111/hex.12452

Objectives: Willingness-to-pay (WTP) provides a broad assessment of well-being, capturing benefits beyond health. However, the validity of the approach has been questioned and the evidence relating to the sensitivity of WTP to changes in health statu...

Clinical characteristics of persistent frequent attenders in primary care: case–control study (2015)
Journal Article
Patel, S., Kai, J., Atha, C., Avery, A., Guo, B., James, M., Malins, S., Sampson, C., Stubley, M., & Morriss, R. (2015). Clinical characteristics of persistent frequent attenders in primary care: case–control study. Family Practice, cmv076. https://doi.org/10.1093/fampra/cmv076

Background. Most frequent attendance in primary care is temporary, but persistent frequent attendance is expensive and may be suitable for psychological intervention.

Background: The extra-welfarist theoretical framework tends to focus on health-related quality of life, whilst the welfarist framework captures a wider notion of well-being. EQ-5D and SF-6D are commonly used to value outcomes in chronic conditions wi... Read More about Exploring the use of cost-benefit analysis to compare pharmaceutical treatments for menorrhagia.

Des... Read More about Perspectives on enhancing physical activity and diet for health promotion among at-risk urban UK South Asian communities: a qualitative study.

Improving identification of familial hypercholesterolaemia in primary care: Derivation and validation of the familial hypercholesterolaemia case ascertainment tool (FAMCAT) (2014)
Journal Article

Objective: Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is a common autosomal dominant disorder. The vast majority of affected individuals remain undiagnosed, resulting in lost opportunities for preventing premature heart disease. Better use of r...
