CALL FOR ABSTRACTS - DEADLINE 18th JANUARY 2012
Proposals are invited for presentations to twinned events at the University of Birmingham on CVD prevention.
1. Dissemination Event (28th March): What role can sociological research play in improving the quality and effectiveness of cardiovascular research? For researchers, policy makers, commissioners and other stakeholders.
Keynote speakers: Dr Charlie Davison on 'Commissioning for prevention: why lay epidemiology matters' and Professor Anne Rogers 'Sociological reflections on self-management: lessons for implementation?'
Potential topics for poster or paper presentations include:
* The values and perceived roles of primary and secondary care practitioners (e.g. GPs,nurses, health care assistants, pharmacists, health trainers) in relation to CVD prevention; * Understanding 'lay' attitudes to and experience of risk assessment, lifestyle advice, and prophylactic medication; * Exploring different health care spaces where primary or secondary prevention takes place (e.g. opportunistic or systematic screening; local organisational logics); * The medium and long-term issues of preventive medicine use (responses to side effects; media stories; medicines review, long term compliance with treatment).
Implementation:
* Using sociological research in practice to prevent cardiovascular disease - case studies from practice and policy; * Different professional perspectives on social aspects of CVD prevention; * Evaluation of interventions to prevent CVD that incorporate social scientific analysis, including effects on tackling health inequalities.
2. Methodology Workshop (29th March): a specialist event for researchers in the field to discuss methodological issues including, but not limited to:
Mixed methods; Interdisciplinary research; Patient and Public Involvement; Engaging stakeholders from all parts of society in research; Getting and analysing interview data; Focus groups; Ethnography; Addressing diversity.
Organising committee: Dr Nicola Gale & Dr Tom Marshall, University of Birmingham; Dr Catherine Will, University of Sussex; Dr Kate Weiner, University of Manchester; Dr Kate Hill & Dr Claudia Bara, University of Leeds.
Please send your abstracts for presentations (500 words, please specify if you would prefer oral or poster presentation) or the round table discussion (300 words) to Marie Crook ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) by 18 January, 5pm.
