Initiatives to optimise preconception health are emerging following growing recognition that this may improve the health and well-being of women and men of reproductive age and optimise health in their children. To inform and evaluate such initiatives, guidance is required on indicators that describe and monitor population-level preconception health. We searched relevant databases and websites (March 2021) to identify national and international preconception guidelines, recommendations and policy reports. These were reviewed to identify preconception indicators. Indicators were aligned with a measure describing the prevalence of the indicator as recorded in national population-based data sources in England. From 22 documents reviewed, we identified 66 indicators across 12 domains. Domains included wider (social/economic) determinants of health; health care; reproductive health and family planning; health behaviours; environmental exposures; cervical screening; immunisation and infections; mental health, physical health; medication and genetic risk. Sixty-five of the 66 indicators were reported in at least one national routine health data set, survey or cohort study. A measure of preconception health assessment and care was not identified in any current national data source. Perspectives from three (healthcare) professionals described how indicator assessment and monitoring may influence patient care and inform awareness campaign development. This review forms the foundation for developing a national surveillance system for preconception health in England. The identified indicators can be assessed using national data sources to determine the population’s preconception needs, improve patient care, inform and evaluate new campaigns and interventions and enhance accountability from responsible agencies to improve preconception health.

Objectives:
The number of older people choosing to relocate to retirement villages (RVs) is increasing rapidly. This choice is often a way to decrease social isolation while still living independently. Loneliness is a significant health issue and contributes to overall frailty, yet RV resident loneliness is poorly understood. Our aim is to describe the prevalence of loneliness and associated factors in a New Zealand RV population.
Design:A resident survey was used to collect demographics, social engagement, loneliness, and function, as well as a comprehensive geriatric assessment (international Resident Assessment Instrument [interRAI]) as part of the “Older People in Retirement Villages Study.”
Setting:RVs, Auckland, New Zealand.
Participants:Participants included RV residents living in 33 RVs (n = 578).
Measurements:Two types of recruitment: randomly sampled cohort (n = 217) and volunteer sample (n = 361). Independently associated factors for loneliness were determined through multiple logistic regression with odds ratios (ORs).
Results:Of the participants, 420 (72.7%) were female, 353 (61.1%) lived alone, with the mean age of 81.3 years. InterRAI assessment loneliness (yes/no question) was 25.8% (n = 149), and the resident survey found that 37.4% (n = 216) feel lonely sometimes/often/always. Factors independently associated with interRAI loneliness included being widowed (adjusted OR 8.27; 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.15–16.48), being divorced/separated/never married (OR 4.76; 95% CI 2.15–10.54), poor/fair quality of life (OR 3.37; 95% CI 1.43–7.94), moving to an RV to gain more social connections (OR 1.55; 95% CI 0.99–2.43), and depression risk (medium risk: OR 2.58, 95% CI 1.53–4.35; high risk: OR 4.20, 95% CI 1.47–11.95).
Conclusion:A considerable proportion of older people living in RVs reported feelings of loneliness, particularly those who were without partners, at risk of depression and decreased quality of life and those who had moved into RVs to increase social connections. Early identification of factors for loneliness in RV residents could support interventions to improve quality of life and positively impact RV resident health and well-being.

Background
Childhood maltreatment (CM) plays an important role in the development of major depressive disorder (MDD). The aim of this study was to examine whether CM severity and type are associated with MDD-related brain alterations, and how they interact with sex and age.
MethodsWithin the ENIGMA-MDD network, severity and subtypes of CM using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire were assessed and structural magnetic resonance imaging data from patients with MDD and healthy controls were analyzed in a mega-analysis comprising a total of 3872 participants aged between 13 and 89 years. Cortical thickness and surface area were extracted at each site using FreeSurfer.
ResultsCM severity was associated with reduced cortical thickness in the banks of the superior temporal sulcus and supramarginal gyrus as well as with reduced surface area of the middle temporal lobe. Participants reporting both childhood neglect and abuse had a lower cortical thickness in the inferior parietal lobe, middle temporal lobe, and precuneus compared to participants not exposed to CM. In males only, regardless of diagnosis, CM severity was associated with higher cortical thickness of the rostral anterior cingulate cortex. Finally, a significant interaction between CM and age in predicting thickness was seen across several prefrontal, temporal, and temporo-parietal regions.
ConclusionsSeverity and type of CM may impact cortical thickness and surface area. Importantly, CM may influence age-dependent brain maturation, particularly in regions related to the default mode network, perception, and theory of mind.

The aim of the study was to investigate the experiences of professionals who treat asylum seekers and refugees, as well as those responsible for the planning, management and delivery of mental health services to this group in Haringey; and to identify and address key areas of difficulty to assist development of appropriate mental health services for this group in Haringey. Individual face to face interviews were conducted with the service providers using a semi-structured interview schedule. The results were triangulated with another study done in general practices in Haringey. Fourteen service providers – health professionals, service managers and commissioners who were involved in responding to the mental health needs of asylum seekers and refugees in Haringey. Findings from a previous study were used for primary care professionals’ views. The main issues faced by providers in dealing with mental health needs of asylum seekers and refugees were: increased demands placed on the time and resources of already stretched mental health services, language and cultural barriers, the difficulties in working through interpreters in delivering therapy, and the need for longer consultation time. Asylum seekers and refugees were felt to seek health professionals’ help with matters that were outside the professionals’ remit. Some providers were unsure of the appropriateness of the western model of treating mental illness for this group. Development of better information on these particular groups locally, and the use of appropriately trained health professionals from the asylum seeker and refugee community to both inform and provide mental health services, would be appropriate responses. A model of service provision addressing the wider influences on the mental health of this group is proposed, that would address the concerns raised by providers and users.

The objectives of this study were to undertake a needs assessment of mental health services for asylum seekers and refugees in the London Borough of Haringey, to estimate accurate numbers of asylum seekers and refugees who need mental health services, and to understand their perspective on mental health needs and services. The mental health needs of asylum seekers and refugees in Haringey were determined through a needs assessment exercise, using epidemiological and corporate approaches. The representatives of the main asylum seeker communities in Haringey were interviewed to find out what the mental health needs of this group and their community are, and how best to provide services to them. Estimates of number of asylum seekers and refugees in Haringey ranged from 5000 to 35 000, with a current best-guess figure of 31000. The community representatives’ views suggested that the factors affecting mental health of asylum seekers and refugees were not directly under the remit of the National Health Service (NHS). They felt that practical issues like education, employment, and social inclusion should be addressed alongside provision of effective professional help like psychotherapy or pharmacotherapy. They also felt that language and cultural barriers were significant impediments to constructive engagement with mental health services for this group. Mental health needs of asylum seekers/refugees are broad based, with implications for public health, social services, primary care, and mental health services. Approaches to developing services for asylum seekers and refugees should be multidisciplinary, and community driven, addressing language and cultural barriers.
