Using WELLBYs to demonstrate the social value of social prescribing at a national level
People, Place and Policy is an online journal providing a forum for academic debate around issues of urban policy, social and economic regeneration, housing and the labour market. Articles deal with the situations and experiences of people and places struggling to negotiate the opportunities, constraints and risks within contemporary society
Stratifying areas at risk of housing insecurity among families with children
BackgroundHousing insecurity resulting from multiple, involuntary residential moves is detrimental to the health and wellbeing of families with children. Policy makers seeking to mitigate these negative effects require a measure of risk of housing insecurity. Here we present the development of a novel risk index for England.MethodsWe undertook a literature review to select drivers of housing insecurity and identify relevant metrics. We recruited …
Evaluation of a bridge-based suicide intervention programme
Suicide is a preventable, but complex public health issue. Around one-third of suicides take place in a public location. Easy access to means of self-harm in public spaces, such as bridges, increases risk. While physical modifications (e.g., barriers) are effective for means reduction, they are not always feasible to implement. Bridge Watch is a suicide prevention initiative that uses trained volunteers to patrol public spaces around bridges in t…
Temporal uncertainty, spatial stressors and disrupted connections
Intended to support to families, temporary accommodation can create stress and worry • Living in temporary accommodation has significant financial and time costs • The spatial characteristics of temporary accommodation undermine family wellbeing • Moving out of area disconnects families from support, education and employment • Living in temporary accommodation constitutes a pervasive form of slow violence The growing unaffordability of housing in…
Young people’s views and experience of diet-related inequalities in England (UK)
Inequalities in diets contribute to overall inequalities in health. Economic inequality and inequalities in access to healthy food are key drivers of poor diet and ill health among young people (YP). Despite mounting evidence of structural barriers to healthy eating, less is known about how YP view and experience these inequalities where they live, and how to address them. To explore YP’s perspectives on the drivers of diet-related health inequal…
‘It depends on where you were born…here in the North East, there’s not really many job opportunities compared to in the South’
Our study affords important insights into young people's perceptions of how wider determinants can help explain the North-South health divide in England. It demonstrates young people's contextualised understandings of the interplay between spatial, social and health inequalities. Our findings support calls for pro-equity policies to address the structural causes of regional divides in health. Further research, engaging young people in deliberativ…
Young people's experiences of physical activity insecurity
The overarching concept of 'physical activity insecurity' emerged as a significant concern for the young people in this study. We posit that PA insecurity in this context can be described as a limited or restricted ability to be active, reinforced by worries and lived experiences of feeling uncomfortable, insecure, or unsafe
‘Bigotry is all around us, and we have to deal with that’
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual/agender+ (LGBTQ + hereafter) people report poorer health and worse experiences of healthcare than the general population, compounded by growing inequalities in health seen across the UK. Correspondingly, LGBTQ + youth have higher rates of several negative health outcomes, particularly depression, anxiety, and suicide ideation. This paper explores the views and experiences o…
Service Users’ Perspectives of a National Social Prescribing Programme to Address Loneliness and Social Isolation
Loneliness is considered to be a global public health challenge, impacting a range of physical and mental health conditions. Social prescribing, whereby service users are signposted into community-based activities and social groups by a community link worker, has been suggested as one mechanism to reduce service users’ loneliness and social isolation. This paper reflects on service users’ experiences of accessing a national social prescribing sch…
Exploring the Impact of a Housing Support Service on Hospital Discharge
Delayed discharge from hospital is a global healthcare problem with negative impacts on patient outcomes and the wider health system. Delays to discharge can arise when a patient remains in hospital even when they are medically fit due to nonmedical reasons such as a lack of appropriate housing or social care. However, whilst several nonmedical interventions have been developed to facilitate timely hospital discharge, there remains a lack of evid…
It All Kind of Links Really’
Meaningful inclusion of young people's perceptions and experiences of inequalities is argued to be critical in the development of pro-equity policies. Our study explored young people's perceptions of what influences their opportunities to be healthy within their local area and their understandings of health inequalities. Three interlinked qualitative focus group discussions, each lasting 90 to 100 min, with the same six groups of young people ( n…
Exploring young people's perspectives on mental health support
Improving young people's (YP) mental health and well-being is a global public health priority. Despite continued commitment within the UK policy agenda to improve the mental health and well-being of YP, the incidence of mental health issues continues to rise. This has been further compounded by the outbreak of COVID-19 which has disproportionately affected YP in the most socioeconomically disadvantaged areas. Understanding YP's perspectives on wh…
A critique of the English national policy from a social determinants of health perspective using a realist and problem representation approach
We propose an alternative conceptualisation of the policy 'problem', that obesity rates are illustrative of inequality, arguing there needs to be policy focus on the structural and factors that maintain health inequalities, including poverty and food insecurity. We hope that our findings can be used to challenge and strengthen future policy development, leading to more effective action against health inequalities and intervention-generated inequa…
Exploring the local policy context for reducing health inequalities in children and young people
Despite increased calls for a 'whole systems' approach to reducing inequalities in health, significant barriers to implementation remain. National governments need to work towards more joined up policy making, which takes into consideration regional disparities, allows for flexibility in interpretation and addresses the different and interrelated social determinants of health. Our findings have particular significance in light of Covid-19 and ind…
Exploring inequalities in health with young people through online focus groups
Purpose The use of online focus groups to explore children and young people's (CYP) perspectives of inequalities in health and associated “sensitive” topics raises important ethical and methodological issues to consider. The purpose of the paper is to discuss lessons learnt from navigating the authors' way through some of the key challenges the authors encountered when researching inequalities in health with CYP through online focus groups. Desig…
Connecting communities
Loneliness is a global public health concern linked to a range of negative health outcomes (Cacioppo & Cacioppo, 2018. The Lancet. 391(10119), 426). Internationally, this has led to the development of a number of interventions, but these are rarely implemented or evaluated on a large scale. This paper is one of the first of its kind to describe elements of an evaluation of a large-scale national social prescribing scheme to reduce loneliness, dep…
Impact of social prescribing to address loneliness
Loneliness is considered a global public health issue because of its detrimental impact on physical and mental health but little is known about which interventions can reduce loneliness. One potential intervention is social prescribing, where a link worker helps service-users to access appropriate support such as community activities and social groups. Some qualitative studies have identified that social prescribing may help to reduce service-use…
Patterns of multimorbidity and their association with health outcomes within Yorkshire, England
Patterns of multimorbidity within the Yorkshire Health Study support research on multimorbidity within previous observational cross-sectional studies. The YHS provides both a facility for participant recruitment to intervention trials, and a large population-based longitudinal cohort for observational research. It is planned to continue to record chronic conditions and other health related behaviours in future waves which will be useful for exami…
