Risky lifestyle behaviours have a multiplicative impact on both the length and quality of peoples’ lives. In order to improve health outcomes and reduce social inequalities in these outcomes, behaviour change services are recommended by health care and public health professionals. There is evidence to show that engagement in more than one form of health risk behaviour is common at a population level (for example, many smokers and also engage in potential harmful levels of alcohol intake), yet currently, behaviour change interventions focus on change in a single risk behaviour (e.g. smoking ces

It is well documented that British South Asians (BSAs; people of South Asian origin residing in the UK) experience an elevated risk of developing coronary heart disease.

Many causal factors for this unfavourable risk profile have been put forward indicating that it is likely to be explained by a complex interplay of both genetic and lifestyle factors. Components of the BSA diet coupled with an inactive lifestyle have been identified as modifiable risk factors which could play a significant role in the prevention of this di

Lyme disease is the most prevalent arthropod-borne (tick) disease in North America. The disease is more prevalent in some Eastern and Central states than in Western states. The general problem is that, in southern California especially in Los Angeles County, both patients and practitioners fail to recognize the disease, resulting in misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. Consequently, the patient may develop the long-term, chronic Lyme disease (CLD).
