Ambivalent Internationalisation
This study explored the social policy context for international students in the UK and its implications for social exclusion (an inability to fully participate in society). Within a rapid review policy literature addressing international student experience, forty-two articles from the Web of Science and Social Science Research Network (SSRN) were selected through multiple screenings. Migration and education were the most explored policy areas, fo…
What Protects At-Risk Young People in India From Using and Abusing Substances? A Photo-Led Study of Lived Experience
Youth substance abuse is widespread in India. Data is needed to inform the focus of prevention approaches. Our aim was to understand the perspectives of Indian young people about what protects them from substance (ab)use, and our study followed protocols approved by UK and Indian university research ethics committees. We recruited 15 Indian adolescents from Assam (seven males, eight females) aged 15 to 18 years at elevated risk because they had f…
Young Adult Resilience for Recovery From Substance Addiction in Assam, India
Substance addiction can be considered a form of social injustice grounded in interactions between individual, family and community‐level risk factors. Although prevention and treatment of substance use disorder is a key target of the United Nations sustainable development goal Good Health and Well‐Being, many low‐and‐middle‐income countries lack a culturally validated approach for its management. We contend that a resilience approach may provide …
Pathways to recovery model of youth substance misuse in Assam, India
INTRODUCTION: There are global calls for better understanding of substance use disorder (SUD) to inform prevention, risk reduction and treatment of this relapse-prone disorder. Our aim in this article is to understand the pathways to recovery of youth in Assam, India who have suffered SUD. METHODS: We recruited 15 participants (11 men and 4 women) via two rehabilitation facilities. All are addicts-in-recovery aged 19-24 years. Material was genera…
How can we mainstream mental health in research engaging the range of Sustainable Development Goals? A theory of change
Mental health is a leading cause of ill-health worldwide, disproportionately affects low-and-middle-income countries and, increasingly, is considered relevant across the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Hence, we ask: How can we mainstream mental health in research engaging the range of SDGs? We use the UK Research and Innovation Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) as a case study. In a previous scoping review, we purposefully sampled non…
A death in the family
The Brighton Citizens Health Services Survey was an academic activism project to identify and understand citizens' perceptions of and responses to healthcare commissioning practices. Significant legislated changes to the National Health System (NHS) across England have increased marketisation in healthcare provision, yet little research has explored the psychological dimensions of this shifting context and its community impact. Taking a community…
Building spaces for controversial public engagement – Exploring and challenging democratic deficits in NHS marketization
The Brighton Citizen's Health Services Survey (BCHSS) was developed to explore and potentially challenge how knowledge is used and by whom in the production of local health commissioning institutions and relations. Through the creation of an ‘animating set of questions’, it sought to open up spaces through which to make visible some of the ways of knowing and valuing the NHS and health services that had been minimised through the commensuration p…
Subjective measures of climate resilience
Best friends and better coping
This is a novel investigation of whether, and how, a single close supportive friendship may facilitate psychological resilience in socio-economically vulnerable British adolescents. A total of 409 adolescents (160 boys, 245 girls, four unknown), aged between 11 and 19 years, completed self-report measures of close friendship quality, psychological resilience, social support, and other resources. Findings revealed a significant positive associatio…
