Are We in Control? How Best to Include a Control Group in Interrupted Time Series Designs: A Simulation Study
1 Introduction Interrupted time series (ITS) is a pre- and post-evaluation design becoming increasingly used for evaluation of interventions, especially in clinical research and public health [1]. ITS is closely related to time series, which are sequences of data points representing outcomes at equally spaced time points.
Understanding barriers to young people’s utilisation of sexual and reproductive health services in Asia-Pacific countries: a qualitative systematic review and thematic synthesis
Despite a growing policy focus on the implementation of youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services in the Asia-Pacific region, utilisation rates remain low. Bringing together the findings of over 30 publications reporting the experiences and views of young people about SRH services in Asia-Pacific countries, this qualitative evidence synthesis sheds light on the key barriers to access and explicitly articulates shame as a driving force for young people’s SRH decision-making.

Evaluating the impact of minimum unit pricing (MUP) on alcohol sales after 3 years of implementation in Scotland: A controlled interrupted time‐series study - Giles - Addiction - Wiley Online Library
INTRODUCTION Alcohol is a major contributor to the global burden of disease, particularly in the European region [1]. In Scotland, the rate of deaths related to liver cirrhosis, an indicator of alcohol harm, has been shown to be among the highest in western and central Europe [2]. Despite having fallen from a peak in 2003, rates of alcohol-specific deaths remain considerably higher than those seen in England and Wales (EW) [3].
A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Investigation of COVID-19 Hospitalizations and Mortality Among Autistic People
Abstract Background: Current evidence suggests the possibility that autistic people may be at more risk of COVID-19 infection, hospitalisation, and mortality than the general population. Previous studies, however, are either limited in scale or do not investigate potential risk factors. Whilst many risk factors have been speculated to be responsible for severe COVID-19, this research has focused on general population samples.
Captain's Corner: OUCC - Cherwell
Following a relaxed wintry start to the cricketing calendar, Women’s Blues Captain Hannah Davis turns her thoughts to the upcoming season. When did you start playing cricket? I began my cricketing journey at the age of 8, playing in the garden with my dad and brother. By the time I was around 9, I joined the boys’ team at school and my involvement in cricket continued to grow when I became a member of Tring Park CC and progressed through the boys’ age group teams up to U15.
The effect of a minimum price per unit of alcohol in Scotland on alcohol‐related ambulance call‐outs: A controlled interrupted time−series analysis
INTRODUCTION In 2018, it was estimated that alcohol was responsible for 5.1% of the global burden of disease and injury [1], causing both acute and long-term conditions. Alcohol-related harm, which includes injuries, violence and other accidents related to binge drinking, also places a significant strain on health-care and emergency services.
The Hundred may be marmite, but it's revolutionising the Women's game
Lunch, cherries, and tea. Three words perfectly befitting of a quaint high-street café, yet curiously suited too, for English cricket. Nothing evokes the game’s charming essence more than its peculiar language, or its endearing reliance on food breaks.
Evaluating the impact of minimum unit pricing for alcohol on road traffic accidents in Scotland after 20 months: An interrupted time series study
INTRODUCTION Alcohol-related harm is high in the United Kingdom (UK), with alcohol being the fifth largest risk factor for deaths and ill-health across all ages [1]. Within the UK, in 2020, Scotland had the highest alcohol-specific death rate of the constituent countries—21.5 per 100 000 persons, compared to 19.6, 13.9 and 13.0 in Northern Ireland, Wales and England, respectively [2].

Sturgeon hails minimum alcohol pricing as one of her proudest achievements
Over the two years and eight months since the policy was implemented, researchers found there has been a “significant” 13.4% reduction in deaths wholly attributable to alcohol consumption compared with an estimate, using data from England, of the deaths that would have occurred had the legislation not been implemented. There was a 4.1% reduction in hospital admissions for conditions wholly attributable to alcohol consumption, equivalent to avoiding 411 admissions per year, on average.
Evaluating the impact of alcohol minimum unit pricing on deaths and hospitalisations in Scotland: a controlled interrupted time series study
Research in context Evidence before this study Scotland has the highest levels of alcohol health harms in the UK, which are strongly patterned by level of socioeconomic deprivation to the extent that the death rate from alcohol-specific causes is over five times higher in the most, compared with least, deprived areas.

An error has occured. The article you are searching for was not found. Published date: 21 December 2022 Plentiful rapeseed supply and a backdrop of economic woes will keep a lid on rapeseed oil (RSO) prices heading into 2023, although there are bullish factors such as increased demand from China and strong RME margins. For waste feedstocks, competition for used cooking oil (UCO) looks likely to intensify.

Neurodegenerative disease risk among former international rugby union players
Discussion Our findings demonstrate that, up to 70 years of age, all-cause mortality was lower among male, former Scottish international rugby union players than the general population. However, neurodegenerative disease was more likely to cause or contribute to deaths among former rugby players than the general population, in contrast to respiratory disease mortality which was less among former rugby players.

Cost-effectiveness Analysis in R Using a Multi-state Modeling Survival Analysis Framework: A Tutorial
Markov decision-analytic models1–3 are a widely used modeling approach in cost-effectiveness analysis4 and are typically built in spreadsheet-based packages or commercial packages such as TreeAge.5 Spreadsheets, especially Microsoft Excel, have the advantage of being familiar, widely available, simple to use, and easy to share with others. However, the calculations are often over several (linked) sheets rather than being contained together on one page.
Evaluation of a national smoke-free prisons policy using medication dispensing: an interrupted time-series analysis

An evaluation of the effects of lowering blood alcohol concentration limits for drivers on the rates of road traffic accidents and alcohol consumption: a natural experiment
Summary Background Drink driving is an important risk factor for road traffic accidents (RTAs), which cause high levels of morbidity and mortality globally. Lowering the permitted blood alcohol concentration (BAC) for drivers is a common public health intervention that is enacted in countries and jurisdictions across the world. In Scotland, on Dec 5, 2014, the BAC limit for drivers was reduced from 0·08 g/dL to 0·05 g/dL.
Evaluating the impact of minimum unit pricing (MUP) on off‐trade alcohol sales in Scotland: an interrupted time-series study
Abstract Background and Aims On 1 May 2018, Scotland became the first country in the world to introduce minimum unit pricing (MUP), a strength‐based floor price below which alcohol cannot be sold, across all alcoholic beverages. The legislation contains a sunset clause meaning a comprehensive mixed‐methods evaluation of its impact across a range of outcomes will inform whether it will continue beyond its sixth year.
Secondhand smoke exposure and risk of incident peripheral arterial disease and mortality: a Scotland-wide retrospective cohort study of 4045 non-smokers with cotinine measurement
Our study demonstrated that, among non-smokers, exposure to SHS was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality, with evidence of a dose relationship. Among male non-smokers, there was also evidence that high exposure to SHS (cotinine ≥2.7 ng/mL) was associated with increased risk of incident PAD over the subsequent five years. Our finding of an independent association between SHS exposure and all-cause mortality is consistent with previous findings.
