Corrigendum
The authors of the November ‘In Practice’ article published in Perspectives in Public Health 2015; 135(6) would like to make clear that:

Thamesmead is an area which straddles the boroughs of Greenwich and Bexley, not a borough itself.

Myopia and daylight in schools: a neglected aspect of public health?
A century ago, it was widely believed that high levels of daylight in classrooms could prevent myopia, and as such, education departments built schools with large windows to try to stop children becoming short-sighted. This practice continued until the 1960s, from which time myopia was believed to be an inherited condition. In the years that followed, less emphasis was placed on preventing myopia.

The enigma of 'harmful alcohol consumption: evidence from a mixed methods study involving female drinkers in Scotland
Conclusion:
For Scottish women, the current definition of ‘harmful’ consumption likely captures a fourfold variation in alcohol intake, with gender differences less apparent. While current alcohol-related harm is positively associated with dose and being younger, there is clear evidence of an influence of the less tangible ‘Glasgow effect’. Future harm concerns are warranted by data relating to pattern, alcohol dose and cigarette use. (Source: Perspectives in Public Health)
