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

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... Read More about 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.

Communities in charge of alcohol (CICA) : a protocol for a stepped-wedge randomised control trial of an alcohol health champions programme (2018)
Journal Article

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...

Mapping urban green infrastructure : a novel landscape-based approach to incorporating land-use and land-cover in the mapping of human-dominated systems (2018)
Journal Article

Common approaches to mapping green infrastructure in urbanized landscapes invariably focus on measures of land-use or land-cover and associated functional or physical traits. However, such one-dimensional perspectives do not accurately capture the ch...

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...

Health workers’ knowledge, attitude and practice towards Hepatitis B infection in Northern Nigeria (2016)
Journal Article
Fufore, M., Cook, P., & Kirfi, A. (2016). Health workers’ knowledge, attitude and practice towards Hepatitis B infection in Northern Nigeria. International Journal of Caring Sciences, 9(3), 955-965

Background: Infection by hepatitis B virus is one of the many challenges in public health today and the tenth leading cause of mortality worldwide. Research has shown that health-care personnel are at higher risk of acquiring the disease than the gen...

Empirically derived cut-points for sedentary behaviour for weekdays and weekends : are we sitting differently? (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Clarke-Cornwell, A., Farragher, T., Cook, P., Dugdill, L., & Granat, M. (2015, June). Empirically derived cut-points for sedentary behaviour for weekdays and weekends : are we sitting differently?. Presented at International Conference on Ambulatory Monitoring of Physical Activity and Movement, Limerick, Ireland

Introduction: Sedentary behaviour (SB) is associated with many adverse health outcomes. Studies that have used accelerometers to define sedentary time usually adopt a <100 counts per minute (cpm) threshold for classifying SB; however, this cut-poi...

Evaluation of work-based screening for early signs of alcohol-related liver disease in hazardous and harmful drinkers : the PrevAIL study (2015)
Journal Article

Background: The direct cost of excessive alcohol consumption to health services is substantial but dwarfed by the cost borne by the workplace as a result of lost productivity. The workplace is also a promising setting for health interventions. The Pr...
