SUMMARY:Seminar - Politics\, policy and the absence of evidence: decision making about speed restrictions in Edinburgh and Belfast.
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to the CEDAR/MRC Epidemiology Seminar: \nPolitics\, policy and the absence of evidence: decision making about speed restrictions in Edinburgh and Belfast. \nProfessor Mike Kelly\, Primary Care Unit\, Institute of Public Health\, Cambridge.\n \nMeeting Rooms 1&2\, Level 4\, Institute of Metabolic Science\, Cambridge Biomedical Campus. \nAbstract\nThe cities of Edinburgh and Belfast have both introduced 20mph speed restrictions on certain of their roads in recent years.  This has been advanced in both places as offering a mixture of transport and public health benefits.  NIHR have funded an evaluation of the consequences of the decisions.  One part of that broader investigation has been a study of the way evidence was (and was not) part of the decision making process.  This paper reports some findings about the processes involved and the ways that that decision makers worked to get the schemes introduced. \nAbout Professor Kelly\nMike Kelly is Senior Visiting Fellow in the Department of Public Health and Primary Care at the Institute of Public Health in Cambridge.  Between 2005 and 2014\, when he retired\, he was the Director of the Centre for Public Health at NICE.  From 2005 to 2007 he directed the methodology work stream for the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Commission on the Social Determinants of Health.  His research interests include the prevention of non-communicable disease\, living with chronic illness\, health inequalities\, health related behaviour change\, end of life care\, dental public health\, the relationship between evidence and policy and the methods and philosophy of evidence based medicine. \nTwitter: @Mk744P \nSign up for future seminars\nTo sign up for future seminars and/or other alerts please visit www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/subscribe/

SUMMARY:Seminar - Community engagement to prevent and control diabetes in Bangladesh
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to the CEDAR/MRC Epidemiology Seminar: \nCommunity engagement to prevent and control diabetes in Bangladesh. \nDr Ed Fottrell\, Director\, UCL Centre for Global Non-Communicable Diseases.\n \nMeeting Rooms 1&2\, Level 4\, Institute of Metabolic Science\, Cambridge Biomedical Campus. \nAbstract\nLearning from experience of community mobilisation to improve maternal and child health\, we developed two distinct population based interventions to prevent and control diabetes within rural communities in Bangladesh. The first intervention was an mHealth health promotion strategy delivered to individual’s mobile phones. The second was a participatory community mobilisation intervention whereby community groups identified and addressed key threats to their health in their own communities. The interventions were evaluated using a three arm cluster-randomised controlled trial across 96 villages covering a population of approximately 125\,000 individuals. This presentation will describe the development of these interventions\, their implementation and impact. \nAbout Dr Fottrell\nDr Fottrell is an Associate Professor in Epidemiology & Global Health at University College London. He is experienced in community health measurement\, intervention development and evaluation in Africa and Asia. He has a history of research into maternal\, neonatal and child health\, verbal autopsy\, non-communicable diseases\, community interventions and mHealth. Dr Fottrell is Director of the UCL Centre for Global Non-communicable Diseases and is PI of the GACD/MRC-funded DMagic and D:Clare projects – implementation science and cluster trials to address diabetes in Bangladesh. \nSign up for future seminars\nTo sign up for future seminars and/or other alerts please visit www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/subscribe/
