| 2008 | September 10 | The media, poverty and public opinion in the UK | Full report This study examines the relationship between the UK media and public ideas of poverty. Although public attitudes cannot be attributed to the influence of mass media, it is important to acknowledge the media’s pivotal role in responding to and reinforcing public ideas about poverty. | Joseph Rowntree Foundation | 380kb |
| 2008 | September 4 | The Self Management Strategy for Long Term Conditions in Scotland | The Long Term Conditions Alliance Scotland (LTCAS) was asked by the
Scottish Government to develop a strategy for self management. This
reflects recognition both of the considerable contribution self
management can make and of self management as a movement driven
not by policy makers but by people themselves.
Self management is the key to meeting the growing challenge of long term conditions and this strategy harnesses the motivation, commitment and creativity of those at the heart of this agenda – people who themselves live with long term conditions. | LTCAS | 2.8mb |
| 2008 | July 31 | The health of minority ethnic men living in the City of Glasgow: Identifying perceived barriers to accessing health services and potential areas for improvement in service providers / users | Are minority ethnic men receiving equitable health care? This question is at the heart of the following study. Whilst a large quantity of information will be presented on a range of topics within the broad area of minority ethnic men’s health, the ultimate question will specifically be one of social justice. By identifying and highlighting health disparities, then, the study will aim to delineate a path towards the fair delivery of much needed health care to this particularly disadvantaged group. Before the health challenges facing ethnic minority men living in Glasgow can be addressed, however, a general demographic context needs to firstly be established. | REACH Community Health Project | 1.9mb |
| 2008 | July 25 | Transforming disadvantaged places: effective strategies for places and people | This study summarises evidence about the underlying forces affecting deprived places across Britain, and explores how interventions aimed at both people and places can be strengthened to tackle disadvantage. | Joseph Rowntree Foundation | 166kb |
| 2008 | July 17 | Employment support, mental health and Black and minority ethnic communities | People from Black and minority ethnic communities are less likely to use employment
support services and less likely to succeed in gaining employment than their white
British peers.
Specialist mental health employment support staff need to adopt an evidence-based approach with the capacity to address issues of racism and stigma. This briefing suggests some targeted actions that might help to make change happen. | Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health | 378kb |
| 2008 | July 1 | A minimum income standard for Britain: what people think | While politicians from all parties are committed to tackling relative poverty, the debates lack a robust definition of a minimum income standard (MIS), below which people’s incomes should not fall. This study devised a minimum income standard for Britain based on what members of the public said, and shows the cost of covering basic goods and services for different household types. | Joseph Rowntree Foundation | 237kb |
| 2008 | June 18 | Prescription for change: Lesbian and bisexual women's health check 2008 | Many healthcare providers have taken marked steps forward as good employers
since employment protections for lesbian and gay people were first introduced
in 2003. But this major survey suggests that this progress has not fed into the
services they provide. This study is timely. In April 2007, it became unlawful to discriminate against lesbian and bisexual women in the delivery of public services. It’s clear that the NHS now needs to take some very significant steps forward to meet its new statutory obligations. | Stonewall | 2mb |
| 2008 | June 12 | The Wrong Direction: How UK Fuel Poverty Policy Lost its Way | Report by Energy Action Scotland and NEA reviewing the four energy efficiency programmes in Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. | Energy Action Scotland | 371kb |

This year we once again held launches in both North and South Wales. | No Smoking Day | 272kb |
