Prescription Refill Adherence Before and After Patient Portal Registration in Among General Practice Patients in England Using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink: Longitudinal Observational Study

Prescription Refill Adherence Before and After Patient Portal Registration in Among General Practice Patients in England Using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink: Longitudinal Observational Study

However, this relationship has not been studied within the National Health Service (NHS) in England, where all patient portals have been required to be offered in all General Practice (GP) practices since 2015 [6]. Studies reporting the relationship between patient portal use and medication adherence usually focus on specific functionalities of the portal.

Estimating Trends in Cardiovascular Disease Risk for the EXPOSE (Explaining Population Trends in Cardiovascular Risk: A Comparative Analysis of Health Transitions in South Africa and England) Study: Repeated Cross-Sectional Study

Estimating Trends in Cardiovascular Disease Risk for the EXPOSE (Explaining Population Trends in Cardiovascular Risk: A Comparative Analysis of Health Transitions in South Africa and England) Study: Repeated Cross-Sectional Study

Understanding the drivers of epidemiological transition in countries that have not followed predicted paths (eg, South Africa) compared with those that have served as examples (eg, England) can provide knowledge on where best to intervene and direct resources to reduce disease burden.

Exploring the Relationship Between Public Social Media Accounts, Adolescent Mental Health, and Parental Guidance in England: Large Cross-Sectional School Survey Study

Exploring the Relationship Between Public Social Media Accounts, Adolescent Mental Health, and Parental Guidance in England: Large Cross-Sectional School Survey Study

The Ox Well Student Survey is a repeated cross-sectional survey of schools and further education colleges (FECs) in England, asking students various questions relating to their mental health and well-being, life experiences, and behaviors [18]. In 2023, it had 2 age-appropriate versions (divided into English school years 5 to 6 [primary] and 7 to 13 [secondary], collectively covering ages 9 to 18 years).

Differences in Use of a Patient Portal Across Sociodemographic Groups: Observational Study of the NHS App in England

Differences in Use of a Patient Portal Across Sociodemographic Groups: Observational Study of the NHS App in England

In England, strategies to modernize the National Health Service (NHS) in part involved the introduction of “digital-first” options for all patients and key digitalization milestones such as the implementation of comprehensive electronic health care records across all NHS trusts by 2025 [3,4]. As part of these initiatives, the NHS App was introduced in 2019 as a digital route to a range of primary care services for all general practice (GP)–registered patients in England aged 13 years and older [5,6].

The Digitalization of Social Care in England and Implications for Older, Unpaid Carers: Constructionist Thematic Analysis

The Digitalization of Social Care in England and Implications for Older, Unpaid Carers: Constructionist Thematic Analysis

In the United Kingdom—and specifically England, which is the empirical focus of this paper—unpaid care is an important societal phenomenon. Census data indicate there are 5.7 million unpaid carers [4], but based on other analyses and due to challenges around self-identification, the numbers seem to be closer to 10.6 million [5]. Aging and unpaid care are closely related, with older age groups providing the highest number of hours of care [4].

Identifying Barriers to the Adoption of Digital Contact Tracing Apps in England: Semistructured Interview Study With Professionals Involved in the Pandemic Response

Identifying Barriers to the Adoption of Digital Contact Tracing Apps in England: Semistructured Interview Study With Professionals Involved in the Pandemic Response

In reality, by December 2020, the NHS COVID-19 app had just 16.5 million users, accounting for 28% of the population in England and Wales [10]. Thus, this research aims to examine why this may be the case by focusing on the barriers to the adoption of DCTAs through semistructured interviews (SSIs) with experts, aiming to answer the specific question: What were the key barriers to the adoption of DCTAs in England?

Availability of Alcohol on an Online Third-Party Delivery Platform Across London Boroughs, England: Exploratory Cross-Sectional Study

Availability of Alcohol on an Online Third-Party Delivery Platform Across London Boroughs, England: Exploratory Cross-Sectional Study

We conducted an exploratory, cross-sectional study across London, England, using data from Deliveroo. We extracted the number of outlets offering alcohol on Deliveroo across 32 London boroughs (excluding City of London due to a small population). London was selected pragmatically. Deliveroo was chosen as it is one of the United Kingdom’s most popular platforms [8], and preliminary assessments showed that it had more alcohol outlets compared with similar platforms.
