Main Research Interests and Achievements

I am an international authority in childhood obesity research and intervention, and was a coopted expert to the UK government on a number of occasions including the Department of Health, the National Institute of Clinical Excellence and spoke at the House of Commons. I also contributed to the CDC report for Michelle Obama. My second area of expertise is in medical education, where I have published widely in the research literature and authored undergraduate and postgraduate textbooks. For many years I held national responsibilities as Academic Convenor of national research meetings and editorship on academic journals. In light of my academic contributions I am in receipt of a prestigious distinction award from the National Health Service.

My research training was undertaken in two extended postdoctoral fellowships in the United States. The first was in pediatric endocrinology at Yale University and the second in ambulatory pediatrics and adolescence at Brown University. Later in my career I was accepted for a research fellowship at the CDC in Atlanta, Georgia. I have been awarded 47 research grants amounting to over $6million. I am Principal investigator on 21 grants and have 82 publications in peer reviewed journals. The focus of my work has been Knowledge Transfer – the translation of academic research into innovative interventions dealing with socially important health problems.

Childhood obesity – epidemiology, treatment and prevention

Since 1999 my principal research interest has been in the epidemiology, treatment and prevention of childhood obesity, which is now recognised, partly due to my work, as the greatest public health

11

problem affecting children today. Much of my research in this area has informed and influenced the national UK agenda for tackling the problem.

I received four national awards for this work and was an editor on the International Consensus on Child Obesity in 2004. I was invited to address the House Select Committee on Health at the House of Commons, advise the Chief Commissioner for Children in England and contribute to the 2009 CDC report to Michelle Obama. I have been an invited lecturer at academic and professional meetings around the world, also appearing on multiple occasions in the British media.

Epidemiology of childhood obesity

I was among the first to report that we were entering a public health crisis through publication of my study of primary school children in the BMJ in 2001. This was followed by a series of publications on two further cohorts of school children through the APPLES2 and Trends projects, and an obesity risk tool to identify babies’ risks for developing obesity. This work led to my involvement as advisor to the Department of Health National Child Measurement Programme, and research funding for my BERTIE project.

Treatment of obesity

As a paediatrician I was not content to simply monitor the problem. I was determined to do something about it. I received research funding to set up WATCH IT, a community weight management programme for children and adolescents. Following successful implementation and pilot in Leeds I received prestigious Wellcome Trust funding to conduct a Phase ll randomized controlled trial of the programme. WATCH IT extended to operate in Birmingham, Sheffield and London and went on to receive four national awards including the best paper award for the qualitative component of the research.

Prevention of obesity

My most recent research has been in the area of prevention of obesity through working with parents of babies and toddlers. HENRY – Health Exercise Nutrition for the Really Young – was established in partnership with a parenting educator and has gained great interest internationally. It has been extensively evaluated with six academic publications to date. The Israeli Ministry of Health in conjunction with the JDC has dedicated $1.5 million to implement HENRY over the next 6 years and has sent an Israeli team to Oxford learn the approach. HENRY, which provides an evidence based approach to establishing a healthy family lifestyle, has been implemented in 55 regions of the UK with over 7000 professionals and 3000 parents trained to date.

Two other major research initiatives of mine in the area of obesity prevention include APPLES and EMPOWER. APPLES was the first randomised controlled trial in the UK of a school based programme for primary school aged children. This research resulted in 3 publications in the BMJ in 2001. More recently I was co-principal investigator on the EMPOWER randomized controlled trial of a home visiting programme for infants at high risk of obesity. It was funded by prestigious DH Priority and Needs Funding.

Health services and translational research

Overall my research agenda prior to my appointment at Bar Ilan has been in the area of health services research and knowledge transfer (translational research). My research activity has been largely directed by a drive to finding solutions to difficult clinical issues. I have gained considerable

12

expertise in the evaluation of complex interventions, and in recent years have been principal investigator on four RCTs all focusing on pragmatic interventions in the community setting. My research has had extraordinarily high impact and has contributed to the implementation of evidence based obesity strategies in the UK and internationally. It has also led to me having a prominent role as an authority on childhood obesity and advisor to government policy in the UK.

Public health

Since my arrival at Bar Ilan my research interests have broadened and I am developing a new research agenda in the field of interventional population health. I have already received two research grants from the Israeli National Institute for Health Policy Research and am engaged in research in the areas of social accountability, resilience to obesity and cultural attitudes to child obesity for HENRY. These are detailed below.

Most Significant Past Achievements

Research into infant growth Another important research contribution has been in the area of infant growth and failure to thrive. This includes a randomized controlled trial of a home visiting intervention and a systematic review of the literature for long-term outcomes, both published in Archives of Disease in Childhood and are well cited. My research led to the development of a multidisciplinary service for infants with poor growth and eating difficulties. It also led me to being invited to an American Academic of Pediatrics Round Table, and being coopted onto the Royal College of Paediatrics Growth Chart Project.

Endocrinology and diabetes During my Fellowship at Yale I worked on the insulin infusion pump trialling it in childhood, adolescence and pregnancy. The pump is now the mainstay of treatment of Type 1 diabetes. Over the years I have also been involved in growth hormone and growth research in America and in Haifa.

Medical education Other major achievements lie in the area of medical education – both undergraduate and postgraduate.

I set up the MSc in Child Health at the University of Leeds in 1993, which became a requirement for all paediatric residents in Yorkshire. By the time I left in 2011, 178 had graduated and I had personally supervised 32 dissertations. The course introduced new methods of teaching knowledge and skills that are unattainable in the clinical setting, e-learning resources, portfolios and teaching appraisal. The approach was recognized nationally and the course stands as an exemplary model for training paediatricans.

Over the years there have been a number of publications in research journals on aspects of the course, including advocacy training and applied evidence based paediatrics. In 1998 I was invited to be the academic lead for a joint working party of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health on the role of paediatricans in advocating on behalf of children.

I have co-authored two undergraduate textbooks, both of which are successful and into multiple editions. Paediatrics and Child Health (Rudolf & Levene) received first prize in the paediatric section of the BMA Book Competition. At A Glance Paediatrics (Miall, Rudolf & Smith), also

13

published by Wiley, has been translated into a number of languages including Portuguese, Kazakh, Greek, Chinese, Russian, Japanese, Swedish, Bahaza Indonesian and Korean.

I am community paediatric editor and an author of Mastercourse, the postgraduate RCPCH text published by Elsevier, which received Ist prize in the BMA Book Competition in 2008. I am also coauthor of Tackling Child Obesity with HENRY published by the Community Practitioners’ and Health Visitors’ Association, as well as a number of chapters and e-courses for health professionals.

Lastly I have had appointments as external examiner at a number of Universities in the UK including Oxford University undergraduate course (2007-2010) and a Cambridge University PhD (2011)

Clinical career My interest in research and education were developed alongside my clinical work as a practicing paediatrician. I arrived in Leeds following postdoctoral fellowships at Yale and Brown Universities which led to my interest in child growth and nutrition. I established the Belmont House Growth and Nutrition Service at the Leeds General Infirmary which extended to a regional specialist obesity service in 2003. This work has been recognized internationally and I was invited to present our work at Yale Grand Rounds in 2004.

In addition to this specialized work I worked in paediatric endocrinology and childhood disability at the Leeds General Infirmary.

Future Goals

My career has taken a distinct turn since making aliya in 2011 and my goals are now directed towards establishing a Centre for Interventional Population Health at the new Faculty of Medicine. In line with the political vision behind the establishment of the medical school, its focus is on tackling health inequalities and the social determinants of health.

My strategy involves the development of four distinct programmes:

a. Early childhood intervention

It is well recognized that the best returns for society are made by investing in the early childhood years. My goal is to establish a programme of activities directed at early childhood intervention. The prevention of obesity through working with parents of young children is at its core. In collaboration with Professor Varda Soskolne in Social Work at Bar Ilan, I have obtained funding from the National Institute of Health Policy research to study protective factors against obesity in a large cohort of preschool children in the Galil. My HENRY programme, which is being introduced by the Ministry of Health into Mother and Child clinics (Tipat Halav) and child care facilities nationally at a cost of $1.5 million dollars, is the basis of further research in this area. I am working on a methodology to ascertain cultural attitudes to obesity in order to facilitate its implementation in Israel in its varied ethnic and religious communities.

14

The other field of interest to date relates to childhood injuries in the home. In collaboration with B’Terem (an NGO), we have submitted a proposal to evaluate Sherut Ishi, a bedside counseling programme for young children admitted to hospital for injuries, targeting Arab communities where childhood injuries are particularly high.

b. Social accountability & Community Based Participatory Research I believe that community based participatory research is a way that the Faculty can fulfill its commitment to social accountability. I have piloted Project Raphael over the last year to test the concept. Raphael involves working with selected organisations (in the voluntary and public sector) to develop innovative ideas to further the health of vulnerable populations in the Galil. The pilot was presented at the 5th International Conference on Health Policy in Jerusalem this year, and the call for 2014 has already been disseminated. One of our successful Raphael projects has been the development of a Shared Care approach to mental health services in partnership with Hazor Local Authority. We have now been awarded funding from the National Institute of Health Policy Research to extend the pilot for 3 years and to evaluate the impact through social network analysis.

The ultimate aim of Raphael is to develop a network of community organizations actively engaged in community based participatory research with the Faculty at the hub. The intention is to maximize the impact of the Faculty on the Galil and the people living there.

c. Birth cohort

Given my background in infant growth and development I aim to find funding to develop ‘Yaldei HaGalil’ a birth cohort of children from across the diverse populations in the Galil. This will involve recruiting pregnant mothers and following the children over the longterm. The focus of the research will be on early family determinants, including parenting and lifestyle, on children’s outcomes in life with the aim of improving our understanding of effective approaches to intervention.

In advance of applying for funding I am piloting the methodology in collaboration with the Ministry of Health in the North of Israel. We have established a One Stop Shop in Mother and Child (Tipat Halav) clinics in disadvantaged locations. 500 children have been recruited and we are analyzing the relationship between patterns of early growth and nutrition on children’s nutritional status on entering school.

d. Health studies programme

Further degrees (MSc and PhD) are now offered at the Faculty. My fourth goal for the Centre for Interventional Population Health is to develop the educational aspects of population health for other health professionals. We are a credited placement for MPH students at the University of Leeds and one route under discussion is an International Summer School to train health professionals in the area of health inequities and professionals’ role in reducing the gap.
