Long-term health outcomes associated with an exercise referral scheme : an observational longitudinal follow-up study (2019)
Journal Article
Prior, F., Coffey, M., Robins, A., & Cook, P. (2019). Long-term health outcomes associated with an exercise referral scheme : an observational longitudinal follow-up study. Journal of Physical Activity and Health, 16(4), 288-293. https://doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2018-0442

Background: Exercise referral schemes (ERSs) support inactive adults, who have chronic health conditions, to become physically active. Uncertainty exists regarding the effectiveness of ERSs, with few studies evaluating their long-term impact. The aim...

It’s been life changing : perceived benefits of participation in the ‘Live Active’ exercise referral scheme (2018)
Journal Article
Prior, F., Coffey, M., Robins, A., & Cook, P. (2018). It’s been life changing : perceived benefits of participation in the ‘Live Active’ exercise referral scheme. Journal of Physical Activity and Health, 15(10), 223-223. https://doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2018-0535

Introduction: Exercise referral schemes (ERSs) aim to increase the physical activity levels and health outcomes of people with chronic health conditions. To date, the efficacy of ERSs has been inconclusive and largely based on quantitative evaluation...

Occupational sedentary time and associations with adiposity markers : a quantile regression analysis (2018)
Journal Article
markers : a quantile regression analysis. Journal of Physical Activity and Health, 15(10), S187. https://doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2018-0535

Background: Sedentary behaviour is associated with a number of health related outcomes, independent of physical activity; however, there is limited research that has examined the role that occupational sedentary time contributes to these associations...

Neurodevelopmental outcomes in individuals with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) with and without exposure to neglect : clinical cohort data from a national FASD diagnostic clinic (2018)
Journal Article
Mukherjee, R., Cook, P., Norgate, S., & Price, A. (2019). Neurodevelopmental outcomes in individuals with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) with and without exposure to neglect : clinical cohort data from a national FASD diagnostic clinic. Alcohol, 76, 23-28. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.alcohol.2018.06.002

Disentangling the relative developmental impact of prenatal alcohol exposure from postnatal neglect is clinically valuable for informing future service provision. In this study developmental outcomes across groups are compared in a ‘natural experim...

Communities in charge of alcohol (CICA) : a protocol for a stepped-wedge randomised control trial of an alcohol health champions programme (2018)
Journal Article
Cook, P., Hargreaves, S., Burns, E., de Vocht, F., Parrott, S., Coffey, M., …Ardern, K. (2018). Communities in charge of alcohol (CICA) : a protocol for a stepped-wedge randomised control trial of an alcohol health champions programme. BMC Public Health, 18(522), 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-018-5410-0

Background Communities In Charge of Alcohol (CICA) takes an Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach to reducing alcohol harm. Through a cascade training model, supported by a designated local co-ordinator, local volunteers are trained t...

Evaluation of an exercise referral scheme in the United Kingdom : medium term outcomes (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Prior, F., Coffey, M., Robins, A., & Cook, P. (2017, November). Evaluation of an exercise referral scheme in the United Kingdom : medium term outcomes. Presented at 13th Annual Meeting and 8th Conference of HEPA Europe, Zagreb, Croatia

Introduction: Exercise referral schemes (ERS) aim to increase the physical activity (PA) levels of people with chronic health conditions. To date, the efficacy of ERS has been inconclusive due to the variable nature of scheme characteristics and eval...

Classification of occupations by accelerometer-derived variables for physical behaviour : Health Survey for England 2008 (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Clarke-Cornwell, A., Granat, M., & Cook, P. (2017, June). Classification of occupations by accelerometer-derived variables for physical behaviour : Health Survey for England 2008. Poster presented at International Conference on Ambulatory Monitoring of Physical Activity and Movement, Bethesda, USA

Objective: Leisure time sedentary behaviour (SB) is known to be associated with a number of healthrelated outcomes (HRO); however, for those who are economically active, occupational activity (OA) contributes towards their daily physical activity (PA...

The distribution of activPAL postural and stepping classifications within ActiGraph activity classifications (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Clarke-Cornwell, A., Cook, P., & Granat, M. (2017, June). The distribution of activPAL postural and stepping classifications within ActiGraph activity classifications. Presented at International Conference on Ambulatory Monitoring of Physical Activity and Movement, Bethesda, USA

Objective: Guidelines of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) are dependent on how we define and quantify physical behaviour. It is therefore important to understand the validity of objective measures of PA and SB. This study aimed to...

Prenatal alcohol exposure and traumatic childhood experiences : a systematic review (2017)
Journal Article
Price, A. D., Cook, P., Norgate, S., & Mukherjee, R. (2017). Prenatal alcohol exposure and traumatic childhood experiences : a systematic review. Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 80, 89-98. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neubiorev.2017.05.018

Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) and traumatic childhood experiences (trauma) such as abuse or neglect can each cause central nervous system neurobiological changes or structural damage which can manifest as cognitive and behavioural dysfunction. In c... Read More about Prenatal alcohol exposure and traumatic childhood experiences : a systematic review.

A service improvement ‘tool kit’ for effective heart failure management in primary care (2016)
Journal Article
Astin, F., Burey, L., Cook, P., O'Donnell, C., Deaton, C., Lewthwaite, L., …Humphreys, J. (2016). A service improvement ‘tool kit’ for effective heart failure management in primary care. British Journal of Cardiac Nursing, 11(12), 588-596. https://doi.org/10.12968/bjca.2016.11.12.588

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a complex and highly debilitating clinical syndrome. International guidelines identify the optimum clinical management of patients living with HF in primary care but translation of these into practice remains inad...
