‘ At Least I Get to Visit Him, That's All That Matters ’: Maintaining Contact With a Family Member in Prison, Developing a Child‐Centred Framework for Change
INTRODUCTION: Familial imprisonment is one of ten recognised adverse childhood experiences (ACE), with established long-term impacts on health, care and wellbeing. Where safe and appropriate, the right of a child to protect and maintain family life (and therefore visit and/or remain in contact with a family member in prison) is protected in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). Despite this, families face many barriers…
“There are a million and one other ways to punish someone than sending them away…” Exploring the impact of having a family member in prison on children and young people’s health and emotional wellbein…
Family imprisonment is one of ten recognised Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES). • Family imprisonment had profound impacts on children’s wellbeing over time. • Children articulated a range of emotions including grief, shock and confusion. • To ensure no child is overlooked, existing support pathways must be strengthened. Growing up in a household where a family member has spent time in prison is one of ten recognised Adverse Childhood Experien…
Understanding how voluntary and community sector resources impact the mental health and wellbeing of young people living in context of disadvantage: A realist review
Mental health is an escalating problem for young people. Open access community services may offer ‘safe spaces’ and a sense of belonging. However, the function and impact of voluntary and community sector (VCS) resources, such as youth clubs and community sports initiatives, in supporting young people’s mental health is not currently well documented or understood. A realist review was conducted in line with RAMESES quality and reporting standards…
Stigma and the Inverse Care Law: Experiences of 'Care' for People Living in Marginalised Conditions
This paper explores the connection between stigma and the Inverse Care Law (ICL) by focussing on the idea that people who have the greatest needs often have the least support from healthcare services. Twenty-four semi-structured interviews were undertaken with people who used class A & B illicit drugs, in the northeast of England. Many of the people in this study who used illicit drugs were not able to access quality healthcare in a timely way to…
‘It depends on where you were born…here in the North East, there’s not really many job opportunities compared to in the South’: Young people’s perspectives on a North-South health divide and its drive…
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…
Exploring the Impact of Stigma on Health and Wellbeing: Insights from Mothers with Lived Experience Accessing Recovery Services
Stigmatisation is the process by which an individual is devalued based on their attributes, characteristics, and/or behaviour, with this often leading to prejudice, social and health-related harms, active discrimination, and microaggressions. The aim of this paper is to show how social harms can occur and how stigma is damaging to the health and wellbeing of a person in recovery. To do so, we focus on the harms that arise from the internalisation…
Young people's experiences of physical activity insecurity: A qualitative study highlighting intersectional disadvantage in the UK
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’: Exploring LGBTQ+ young people’s experiences and understandings of health inequalities in North East England
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…
Measurement Instruments for Integration within Children and Young People Healthcare Systems and Networks: A Rapid Review of the International Literature
Introduction: Robust measures of integration are essential for assessment of the development, design and implementation of integration within healthcare systems. This review aimed to identify measurement instruments for integration within children and young people’s (CYP) healthcare systems (PROSPERO registration number CRD42021235383). Methods: We searched electronic databases (PubMED and Ovid Embase) using three main concepts: ‘(integrated care…
The Addiction Was Making Things Harder for My Mental Health’: A Qualitative Exploration of the Views of Adults and Adolescents Accessing a Substance Misuse Treatment Service
The relationship between substance use and mental health is complex, and both constitute a global public health burden. In the UK, the estimated annual financial costs of alcohol-related harm and illicit drug use are GBP 21.5 billion and GBP 10.7 billion, respectively. This issue is magnified in the North East of England, where treatment access is low and a large proportion of individuals experience socioeconomic deprivation. The present study ai…
It All Kind of Links Really’: Young People’s Perspectives on the Relationship between Socioeconomic Circumstances and Health
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…
Experiences and perceptions of nutritional health and wellbeing amongst food insecure women in Europe: A qualitative meta-ethnography
Since the 2008 global financial crisis, there has been a rise in the number of people experiencing food insecurity. Particularly vulnerable are mothers with young children, pregnant women, and lone parents (the majority of whom are women). This systematic review and meta-ethnography of qualitative studies focused on women's experiences of food insecurity and how it affects their nutritional health and wellbeing. Six electronic databases (Medline,…
