  • Understanding the mental health needs of LGBTQ+ youth

    Understanding the mental health needs of LGBTQ+ youth
    Jun 13 2024

    To coincide with Pride Month in the UK, this episode of “Public Health Research and Me” sees host and public partner Kamil Sterniczuk interview Fuse researcher Liam Spencer about his work on the topic of mental health of LGBTQ+ young people.


    Liam describes his journey from youth worker to public health researcher as ‘a happy accident’ and discusses the challenges and findings of his work, including during the COVID-19 pandemic.


    He emphasises the need for inclusive school policies and staff training to support LGBTQ+ students, as well as the importance of capturing the voices of people with lived experience to refine academic knowledge.


    Liam answers the big question: “If you had one message for our listeners to take away, what would it be?” Listen to the full episode now to find out more.


    LGBTQ+ is an abbreviation for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning. The "+" sign recognises the limitless sexual orientations and gender identities used by members of the community.

  • Reflecting on 10 years with Fuse: collaborations, risks, joys and friendships

    Reflecting on 10 years with Fuse: collaborations, risks, joys and friendships
    Apr 25 2024

    In a special episode of the Fuse podcast, host and public partner Victoria Bartle speaks with former Fuse Director Ashley Adamson, Professor of Public Health Nutrition at Newcastle University.


    Recently stepping down as Fuse Director after 10 years, Ashley tells us about her proudest achievements as well as what she wished she could have done in her time as Fuse Centre lead.


    Ashley tells us about her background in nutrition and dietetics, about moving into Public Health after frustrations in spending time ‘mopping up the floor’ when ‘no one’s turning off the tap’, and 30 years at Newcastle University.


    She shares her pride in working with the Hairy Bikers to write a healthy diet recipe book that knocked ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ off the top of the book charts, and pays tribute to Dave Myers who passed away earlier this year.


    Victoria and Ashley discuss how Public Involvement and Engagement helps research and researchers to relate to people’s lives, make a difference, and keep feet on the ground. And of course the role of serendipity in research making an impact.


    Finally, Ashley passes on some words of wisdom to new Fuse Director Professor Sheena Ramsay, and answers the big question: "If you had one message for our listeners to take away, what would it be?" Listen now to find out.


    More about the guest

    After graduation in 1987, Ashley worked as a dietitian in the NHS before moving to Newcastle University as a Research Associate to work on the Northumberland cross-sectional cohort studies. She was awarded her PhD (a study of the changes in the diets of adolescents 1980-1990) from Faculty of Medicine Newcastle University in 1993. In 1992, Ashley moved back into clinical practice and worked in a number of community dietetic posts and in primary care in London. She returned to Newcastle University in 1995 to take up a post as Lecturer in the newly created Human Nutrition Research Centre to develop a research programme in Public Health Nutrition.


    She was awarded a personal chair in 2010, Fellowship of Faculty of Public Health in 2011, and a NIHR Research Professorship in 2012. She was appointed NIHR Senior Investigator in 2017. She was appointed Director of Fuse in 2014 and National Director of NIHR School for Public Health Research (SPHR) in 2017.


    Professor Adamson is now the Director of the NIHR Research Support Service Specialist Centre for Public Health.


    About the host

    Victoria Bartle is this episode's host. She is a public partner who has collaborated closely with Fuse and the wider public partner-led podcast planning group in creating the 'Public Health Research & Me' podcast. Victoria has been involved with research from a patient and public perspective since she had to stop working in 2016 due to multiple long-term health conditions. Victoria is passionate about health and social care research, and feels that the input from every public partner makes research more focused and beneficial to all.

  • Should we be concerned about energy drinks and young people’s health?

    Should we be concerned about energy drinks and young people’s health?
    Jan 18 2024
    We hear a lot about the harms associated with children drinking energy drinks. But what exactly are energy drinks and how do they differ to sports drinks and soft drinks? And what does the evidence tell us about their effect on young people? In this fifth episode of the Fuse podcast Public Health Research and Me, host and Fuse Public Partner Cheryl Blake speaks with Fuse researchers Professor Amelia Lake and Dr Shelina Visram to cut through the confusion and ask some of the questions you really want to know. Amelia and Shelina’s latest research, published in the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) journal ‘Public Health’, shows a wider range of risks associated with energy drinks in children than ever before, including an increased risk of mental health issues. They tell us how the work began with a chance conversation with a drug and alcohol outreach worker, who kept being asked by teachers what the evidence was on energy drinks. This episode explores how rare it is to find research that speaks directly with youngsters about energy drinks, the perils of involving children (especially when shops are offering free samples!), and co-producing resources with parents and young people, which have been used around the world. Find out how energy drinks are marketed at children and young people through all things ‘cool’ and how Amelia and Shelina tread the fine line between researcher and advocate. Do they think there is enough evidence to say that children shouldn’t have access to energy drinks? There’s a clue on every can if you look very closely…! About this episode's host and guests Cheryl Blake is this episode's host. She is a public partner who has collaborated closely with Fuse and the wider public partner-led podcast planning group in creating the 'Public Health Research and Me' podcast. Cheryl is an expert by experience who has also worked with the NIHR and Northumbria University. Her interests and specialised subjects are around mental and sexual health, domestic abuse, coercive and violent behaviour, and family court and social workers within that system. She supports survivors of sexual/abuse to find female empowerment through art, poetry and meditation. Amelia A Lake is a dietitian and public health nutritionist. She works as a Professor of Public Health Nutrition at Teesside University and is an Associate Director of Fuse, The Centre for Translational Research in Public Health. Her current work is broadly around food systems and the food environment. In particular, food insecurity, healthy planning, energy drinks, the workplace environment and knowledge exchange. Her research involves transdisciplinary collaborations to examine how the environment interacts with individual behaviours. Shelina Visram is a senior lecturer in public health with the Population Health Sciences Institute at Newcastle University. She co-leads the Fuse health inequalities research cluster. Her research involves working with people from vulnerable, marginalised and under-represented populations to understand their health needs and experiences of health inequalities. Shelina’s interest in energy drinks is linked to her interest in translational research that meets the needs of policy, practice and public partners.
