Its aim was to provide up to date and in-depth information about the public’s attitude to regulation in this area, including that of patients/clients. In a combination of workshops with the general public, depth interviews with patients/consumers who have undergone or have actively considered a cosmetic intervention, and paired depths with teenagers, a range of issues were explored to address the research objectives. These were the: • Regulations applying to surgical vs non-surgical cosmetic interventions • Risks of surgical and non-surgical procedures, and the safeguards required • Safety and quality standards offered in the private sector; qualifications, training, the experience of practitioners, membership of professional bodies • Information that is/should be accessible to patients/customers • Influence of advertising/media coverage, its impact on self-image, and opinions on the regulation of advertising • Funding of post-operative medical care and the responsibilities of the NHS in correcting adverse events • Need for psychological assessment/counselling prior to any cosmetic intervention • Establishment of registries of cosmetic implants. In addition, a series of depth interviews were conducted with practitioners with the focus of the discussion on the regulation of non-surgical cosmetic interventions and injectable procedures in particular. 1.2 Key findings Despite their very different perspectives, there was a high level of agreement in the views of members of the public (including patients and those considering an Regulation of Cosmetic Interventions: Research among the General Public and Practitioners 1 intervention) and those of practitioners in terms of the regulation of the industry for cosmetic interventions. 1.2.1 Influences on the market for cosmetic interventions This research suggests that a wide range of influences, including media coverage of celebrities and their cosmetic interventions, reality TV programmes and the wider broadcasting of cosmetic procedures, alongside the increasing availability of and access to cosmetic interventions, are coming together to create a climate in which having a cosmetic procedure is increasingly regarded as normal and the associated risks are often underestimated. These factors also result in changing aspirations and ideals regarding body image, with some evidence that this results in greater salience for cosmetic intervention among the young. While advertising is seen as widespread and therefore as adding to the impression of everydayness, individual advertisements seem to make little impact in terms of choice of supplier. However, mainstream advertising and marketing propositions such as discounting by third party operators, have clearly commoditised some non-surgical procedures. While there is no appetite for a wholesale ban on advertising, the hazards of time-limited offers are widely recognised and there is greater support for a ban/control of these. It is felt that more should be done to ensure the reliability of advertising in this area, to give the public a basis on which to filter potential suppliers and to protect the unwary prospective patient. In making decisions about whether to proceed with an intervention and who to do this with, one’s peer group and in particular, those within it who have already had such an intervention, are key sources of information about, and referrals to, practitioners. Indeed, their influence may override all other considerations. For those looking for information and guidance, there is no single ‘go to’ place for impartial information about interventions, practitioners, risks, questions to ask/things to look for; instead, those seeking to find out more are often driven to commercial sites by search engines. This often means that the practitioners are telling prospective patients what they want them to know and the patient is left unaware of the questions that he/she should ask and the answers that they should seek. Regulation of Cosmetic Interventions: Research among the General Public and Practitioners 2 It was widely recognised that in the current climate for cosmetic interventions, certain groups of people may be vulnerable to messages of an easily accessible solution to dissatisfaction with their appearance including young people, those at risk of getting into debt and those with psychological problems. However, because many people are not fully informed when they undergo procedures and do not currently have the means to ensure that they can inform themselves, it would seem that a high proportion of those having interventions are at risk. 1.2.2 Perceptions of risk and the need for regulation Even without being informed about current levels of regulation within the cosmetic intervention industry, over half of the public sample felt that it should be more tightly regulated, along with nearly all practitioners. While surgical interventions were seen as riskier, safeguards were assumed to be in place, and it was suspected that non-surgical interventions were where greater safeguards were needed. Among non-surgical interventions, it was anticipated that the greatest risk and need for enhanced protection was among the more invasive and potentially damaging procedures of injectables and chemical peels. Once members of the public had been shown information about the current state of regulation, there was an overwhelming call for greater regulation based on real concerns about the lack of safeguards across many interventions. Both surgical and non-surgical interventions were felt to need sufficient regulation to ensure patient safety, although it was recognised that the level and nature of the safeguards required would differ. 1.2.3 Safety and quality standards for practitioners There was an expectation by the public that practitioners offering cosmetic interventions are trained and experienced in that intervention and currently, much is taken on trust that this is the case. At present, the prospective patient has no base of knowledge on which to judge the calibre of the practitioner; titles, qualifications/letters after the name, membership of professional bodies are all unfamiliar and

You must refer to: . a questionnaire or an interview . open or closed questions . how you may check the reliability of responses (12 marks) You should use your own experience of carrying out an experiment to inform your response. Justify your decisions as part of your explanation. Task: Read the answer below and highlight in a different colour, where the answer addresses each of the following points: 1. Addressing all of the required features (the 3/4 bullet points) o a questionnaire or an interview o open or closed questions o how you may check the reliability of responses 2. Justifying your design decisions 3. Contextualising your answer – applying your knowledge to the scenario 4. Explicitly linking your design decisions to your own practical work Sample Answer For my investigation into the effects of Facebook use, I would carry out a questionnaire. The reason for this is that compared to an interview, they are a much quicker way of getting a large amount of data from many participants. This is because they just need to be handed out and returned; interviews are much more time consuming as interviewees are questioned one at a time, so the number of participants is also going be less than with a questionnaire. I found this out when I carried out my research at school into attitudes towards mental health in different age groups.

  • The World Cup and Sports Viewing Multiple
    1 A train journey across the UK is enough to hint that people are watching television programmes on devices other than the TV set. Similarly, those in MULTIPLE- homes with more people than TV sets know what it is like to lose control of the big screen; be it child, parent or spouse, there are times when PCs, tablets SCREEN or smartphones are called into action to provide access to our favourite VIEWING: programmes. AN INTRODUCTION TO HOW PEOPLE WATCH It’s in this context that the television and advertising industry needs a trusted, independent source of multiple-screen viewing figures. Since 2015, BARB has TELEVISION ACROSS been supplying these at a device level. Now we are introducing people-based FOUR SCREENS measurement of viewing on devices. What does this mean in practice and what type of data will now be available? September 2018 Let’s bring this to life with examples from three types of programme: sport, entertainment and drama. UNDER EMBARGO UNTIL 00.01, SEPTEMBER 25TH 2018 SPORT: THE WORLD CUP AND SPORTS VIEWING First, let’s turn to the events of the summer, as England dared to dream that football might come home. Headline-grabbing audience figures resulted as Gareth Southgate’s team reached the semi-finals in Russia. Chart 1 shows the multiple-screen viewing figures for England’s semi-final clash with Croatia on ITV. We can see that PC, tablet and smartphone viewing added an average audience of 337k to the consolidated 7-day TV set viewing figure of 20.7m – a 1.6% uplift.

It’s a few days before the pop music industry’s Brit Awards and the reality television star is at her flat in South Kensington, an expensive neighbourhood in west London. She’s getting ready for the first of the week’s many parties. A make-up artist is making sure she looks just right.

Her phone buzzes with a text. “So, this is interesting,” she says, in an enthusiastic, refined voice. It’s an offer for a paid Instagram post, advertising a £100 metallic rose gold watch from jeweller Abbott Lyon. The picture it wants her to share shows the timepiece on a disembodied arm, with wilting pink and white roses in the background. It’s a quick turnaround: the company wants it up in 15 minutes. Toffolo considers the offer for a moment. “Definitely yes, because it’s nice content. It’s a good photo,” she explains. Neither of us knows whose arm is in the picture, but soon it’s shared with her hundreds of thousands of followers.
