A protocol for mobilising novel finance models for collaborative health promotion and disease prevention initiatives
Background: The prevalence of preventable non-communicable disease (NCD) underpins the need for a life-course and cross-sectoral approach to population health that is grounded in health promotion and disease prevention. European Union (EU) countries typically spend 6 to 13% of gross domestic product (GDP) on health care, yet less than 3% of this is dedicated to prevention. The extent to which spending in other sectors prevents avoidable ill-healt…

Health Economics-Informed Social Return on Investment (SROI) Analysis of a Nature-Based Social Prescribing Craft and Horticulture Programme for Mental Health and Well-Being
Demand for mental health support has exerted unprecedented pressure on statutory services. Innovative solutions such as Green or Nature-Based Social Prescribing (NBSP) programmes may help address unmet need, improve access to personalised treatment, and support the sustainable delivery of primary services within a prevention model of population health. We piloted an innovative health economics-informed Social Return on Investment (SROI) analysis …
The Road Less Travelled
The economic contribution of family and friend carers of people with dementia is substantial. Pre-death grief experienced by carers of people living with a rare dementia is complex as carers are faced with unique challenges due to geographical isolation and a lack of access to shared experiences. There is an urgent need for specialised interventions to support carers lacking local support. A micro-costing analysis of a novel online group-based pr…
Nature based social prescribing for enhancing mental health and well-being
Background: Nature Based Social Prescribing (NBSP) is a means of connecting people with non-clinical, nature-based community-led interventions delivered by 3rd sector organisations using local community assets. NBSP can support well-being and help alleviate pressure on mental health services addressing local health and wellbeing needs. This research used a mixed-method Social Return on Investment (SROI) evaluation of a six-month pilot ‘Making Wel…
Improving the Accessibility and Responsiveness of Domestic Abuse Services
Concerns that community-based domestic abuse (DA) services are not always accessible or responsive prompted two new interventions across five sites in England. The evaluation used service data, outcome measures, staff interviews, and surveys, and 98 interviews with survivors and children. A Social Return on Investment analysis was completed. Survivors described services as empowering: support was flexible and personalized. Positive change in outc…
Acceptability of identification and management of perinatal anxiety
Background: Anxiety in pregnancy and postpartum is highly prevalent but under-recognized and few women receive adequate support or treatment. Identification and management of perinatal anxiety must be acceptable to women in the perinatal period to ensure that women receive appropriate care when needed. We aimed to understand the acceptability to women of how anxiety was identified and managed by healthcare professionals. Method: We conducted in-d…
The Diagnostic Pathway Experiences of People Living with Rare Dementia and Their Family Caregivers
The pathways for receiving a diagnosis of a rare type of dementia are poorly understood. Diagnostic challenges decrease access to relevant health promotion activities and post-diagnostic support. This study was focused on pathways experienced by people affected by rare dementia in Wales, United Kingdom (UK), considering the practical, emotional, and economic consequences. Semi-structured interviews were completed with 10 people affected by rare d…

RCT-based Social Return on Investment (SROI) of a Home Exercise Program for People With Early Dementia Comparing In-Person and Blended Delivery Before and During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Regular exercise and community engagement may slow the rate of function loss for people with dementia. However, the evidence is uncertain regarding the cost-effectiveness and social return on investment (SROI) of home exercise with community referral for people with dementia. This study aimed to compare the social value generated from the in-person PrAISED program delivered before March 2020 with a blended PrAISED program delivered after March 20…

Social Return on Investment of Social Prescribing via a Diabetes Technician for Preventing Type 2 Diabetes Progression
In Wales, the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) has increased from 7.3% in 2016 to 8% in 2020, creating a major concern for the National Health Service (NHS). Social prescribing (SP) has been found to decrease T2DM prevalence and improve wellbeing. The MY LIFE programme, a scheme evaluated between June 2021 and February 2022 in the Conwy West Primary Care Cluster, aimed to prevent T2DM by referring prediabetic patients with a BMI of ≥…
A Study to Explore the Feasibility of Using a Social Return on Investment Approach to Evaluate Short Breaks
Short breaks help maintain caring relationships, enabling people to remain living in their own homes and contributing significant economic benefit to public services. However, relatively little is known about the added social value generated by community-based short breaks. To address this evidence gap, we explored the feasibility of using a social return on investment (SROI) evaluation to explore a day support service in North Wales for people l…
Well-being and well-becoming through the life-course in public health economics research and policy
Background: The term "well-becoming" is not new, but is not routinely used in our everyday language or in research in public health economics. It has been applied in early years research. Well-becoming can be thought of as our multitude of life-journeys toward meaning and purposefulness. Objective: To develop a new infographic in the spirit of the Dahlgren and Whitehead rainbow infographic of social determinants of health. The purpose being to re…

The Potential Impact on Farmer Health of Enhanced Export Horticultural Trade between the U.K. and Uganda
The export of vegetables from African countries to European markets presents consumers with an ethical dilemma: should they support local, but relatively well-off farmers, or poorer farmers from distant countries? This paper considers the issue of farm worker health in the U.K. and Uganda, and considers the dilemma facing U.K. consumers if Uganda achieves their aim of exporting more vegetables to the U.K. Self-reported health scores of 1,200 farm…

A national Programme Budgeting and Marginal Analysis (PBMA) of health improvement spending across Wales
Wales is championing a concept of "prudent healthcare". The PBMA exercise undertaken here was a transparent evidence-based tool to reach decisions about potential for disinvestment and reinvestment in health improvement strategies. It also demonstrates the potential wider application at a national level across government public health functions, to ensure resources are most cost-effectively deployed, with due consideration for equity
The use of the EQ-5D as a measure of health-related quality of life in people with dementia and their carers
People with mild to moderate dementia are able to rate their own HRQOL through a brief generic instrument; however, self-ratings consistently differ from family carer ratings, which should be acknowledged in cost-effectiveness analyses. Spouse caregivers rate HRQOL for the PwD more positively compared to adult children
