(2009). Screening and brief interventions for hazardous and harmful alcohol use in probation services: A cluster randomised controlled trial protocol. BMC public health, 9(1), Article 418. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2458-9-418

Background: A large number of randomised controlled trials in health settings have consistently reported positive effects of brief intervention in terms of reductions in alcohol use. However, although alcohol misuse is common amongst offenders, there...

What does having a fertility problem mean to couples? (2009)
Journal Article
Glover, L., McLellan, A., & Weaver, S. M. (2009). What does having a fertility problem mean to couples?. Journal of reproductive and infant psychology, 27(4), 401-418. https://doi.org/10.1080/02646830903190896

The meaning of fertility problems for couples and how partners differed in their appraisals of their fertility problems were the main areas of interest in this research. Ten couples recruited via an infertility clinic took part in semi-structured int... Read More about What does having a fertility problem mean to couples?.

Screening and brief interventions for hazardous and harmful alcohol use in primary care: A cluster randomised controlled trial protocol (2009)
Journal Article
Kaner, E., Bland, M., Cassidy, P., Coulton, S., Deluca, P., Drummond, C., Gilvarry, E., Godfrey, C., Heather, N., Myles, J., Newbury-Birch, D., Oyefeso, A., Parrott, S., Perryman, K., Phillips, T., Shenker, D., & Shepherd, J.

BMC public health, 9(1), Article 287. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2458-9-287

Background. There have been many randomized controlled trials of screening and brief alcohol intervention in primary care. Most trials have reported positive effects of brief intervention, in terms of reduced alcohol consumption in excessive drinkers...

BMC health services research, 9(1), Article 114. https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6963-9-114

Background. There is a wealth of evidence regarding the detrimental impact of excessive alcohol consumption on the physical, psychological and social health of the population. There also exists a substantial evidence base for the efficacy of brief in...

Blocking of goal-location learning based on shape (2009)
Journal Article
Alexander, T., Wilson, S. P., & Wilson, P. N. (2009). Blocking of goal-location learning based on shape. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 35(3), 694-708. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0015124

Using desktop, computer-simulated virtual environments (VEs), the authors conducted 5 experiments to investigate blocking of learning about a goal location based on Shape B as a consequence of preliminary training to locate that goal using Shape A. T... Read More about Blocking of goal-location learning based on shape.

Word recognition processes modulate the naso-temporal asymmetry of the human visual field (2009)
Journal Article
Lavidor, M., Alexander, T., & McGraw, P. V. (2009). Word recognition processes modulate the naso-temporal asymmetry of the human visual field. Perception, 38(10), 1536-1541. https://doi.org/10.1068/p6078

Many visual tasks display a well-documented naso-temporal asymmetry (NTA), where sensitivity is greater to stimuli presented in the temporal hemifield. Four-letter strings were presented at various eccentricities under monocular vision conditions, an...
