Review
Physical health of care-experienced young children in high-income countries: a scoping review.
Good health in the early years lays the foundation for lifelong health. Children with experience of extraparental care (eg, foster, kinship, residential) have poorer outcomes than children without such experience. Common health conditions in high-income countries differ from those in low-income and middle-income countries. Health conditions also vary substantially with age. The literature examining physical health conditions affecting young care-experienced children in high-income countries has not been previously reviewed. This review addresses this gap to better understand the health needs of these children. ⋯ Medical Research Council, Economic and Social Research Council, and Chief Scientist Office (Scotland).

Randomized Controlled Trial
Type of goals set and progress towards these goals, as part of a behaviour change intervention, in people with mild cognitive impairment: a secondary analysis.
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) affects 5-20% of older people in the UK, but often goes undiagnosed and is associated with increased risk of dementia. Targeting risk factors such as physical inactivity and social isolation through behaviour-change interventions could reduce this risk. However, it is unclear how MCI impacts engagement with these interventions. We aimed to explore how MCI affects goal-setting priorities and progress towards these goals in a behaviour-change intervention (HomeHealth). ⋯ National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) School for Primary Care Research, NIHR Health Technology Assessment.

Evidence on workplace bullying and harassment (WBH) in the UK has not used probability-sample surveys with robust mental health assessments. This study aimed to profile the prevalence and nature of WBH in England, identify inequalities in WBH exposure, and quantify adjusted associations with mental health. ⋯ UK Prevention Research Partnership.
