Hopkins, Renee Anderson. "The Public Health Movement in Victorian England, 1831-1875." Thesis, North Texas State University, 1985. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc501199/.

Abstract:
In early Victorian England, a coalition of men of Government and the local community established a centralized and uniform policy toward public health. The long and arduous campaign (1831-1875) for public health impelled the need to solve the serious social, political and economic problems spawned by the Industrial Revolution. This study concludes that Britain's leaders came to believe that Government indeed had an obligation to redress grievances created by injustice, a decision which meant the rejection of laissez-faire. Through legislation based on long study, Parliament consolidated the

Abstract:
The British Government, since 1997, have placed a strong emphasis on public health and the reduction of health inequalities. Alongside this, they have progressed a major reform of the NHS which aims to 'shift the balance of power' to the frontline. Primary care is an increasingly important aspect of the Government's new agenda, which aims to improve health for everyone, and for the worst off in particular. This thesis identifies general practice, and the core practitioners that work within it, as key potential contributors to a public health agenda. But 'public health' is a conceptually contes

Abstract:
Background Awareness of the harmful effects of second-hand smoke (SHS) has led governments in the United Kingdom (UK) and many other countries to introduce smoke-free legislation in almost all enclosed work and public places. Her Majesty’s (HM) Prison Service, which currently holds over 85,000 offenders among whom the prevalence of smoking is high, was granted one of few exemptions from the 2007 smoke-free legislation in England, which allowed prisoners to smoke in their cells. This continued smoking impacts not only on the health of the individual smoker but also, through SHS exposure, on oth

Public Health<br>Ph.D.<br>The use of mobile communication devices (MCDs) by drivers is a significant public health problem. Research suggests that MCD use plays a role in almost 400,000 traffic crashes each year, resulting in over 3,000 deaths (NHTSA, 2013). Drivers using an MCD are as much as four times more likely to crash as other motorists (Redelmeier & Tibshirani, 1997). Since 2001 forty-eight states have adopted one or more laws aimed at reducing the use of MCDs by drivers, many of which have been strengthened through subsequent amendments.

Abstract:
The thesis will highlight both qualitatively and quantitatively that during the twentieth century the English population experienced unprecedented improvements in mortality and particularly morbidity, which has provided a substantial boost to standards of living and economic development. Despite the extensiveness of these health improvements, there have been a very limited number of attempts to evaluate and quantify these valuable improvements. None of the existing studies that quantitatively assess improved health actually measure health per se, as they all utilise mortality as a proxy. Furth

Abstract:
Each state and territory within the United States is required by the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act [42 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.] to maintain a mandatory suspected child abuse and neglect reporting law, requiring certain professionals who regularly see children to report any suspicions of child maltreatment to child protective services. It is well documented that mandatory reporters fail to report each case of suspected child maltreatment they witness. This study sought to determine whether differences in three specific variables within the mandatory report laws had an effect on the fre

"An investigation of factors contributing to the sustainability of home safety equipment schemes in communities at higher risk of injury : a multiple case study based on a national programme in England."

Abstract:
Background: Unintentional injury in the home setting is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity among pre-school children in the UK. Multi-component, community-based intervention programmes are a recommended means of addressing injury. England operated a national home safety programme based on this approach from 2009 to 2011. The programme was targeted at high risk families and supported through national government funding. Little is currently known about the sustainability of injury prevention programmes, despite its relevance to public health planners and policy makers. Studies of progr

Abstract:
In the United Kingdom (UK), an estimated 107,800 people were living with HIV in 2013, of whom 55% were heterosexual men and women. Black African men and women accounted for the majority of heterosexuals living with HIV in the UK in 2013. In this PhD by prospective publication my research question is “How is the epidemiology of heterosexually-acquired HIV infection evolving, particularly among black Africans, in England, Wales and Northern Ireland?”. I conducted a quantitative analysis of national surveillance datasets and undertook literature searches. Most of my analysis was based on data fro

Abstract:
Health and public health services in England are under increasing financial pressure. At the same time, nearly 40% of the total disease burden is potentially amenable to known causes with two of the leading behavioural risk factors being unhealthy diets and physical inactivity. To better inform decision makers and improve health in England, this thesis aims to develop a cost-effectiveness model that can directly compare diet and physical activity interventions. Published public health economic models were reviewed and the strengths and weaknesses of the modelling structures were explored. A pr
