The role of community assets in tackling UK health inequalities through community engagement and partnerships in social prescribing
Introduction: With policy focused on prevention and re-location of care into communities to reduce the burden on acute services, the need for robust evidence from social prescribing that integrates community assets into health and care systems is becoming increasingly vital. Methods: As part of a national multi-centered program of research, 'Mobilizing Community Assets to Tackle Health Inequalities', seven projects from across the UK participated…
Common features of environmentally and socially engaged community programs addressing the intersecting challenges of planetary and human health
Depending on environmental and social determinants, planetary health impacts unequally on human health. As it is likely that creativity and culture are under-tapped resources, the potential to address community and environmental issues to tackle health inequalities, especially those resulting from climate injustice, has not yet been fully realized. The study aimed to identify common features of environmentally and socially engaged UK community pr…
Barriers and enablers of integrated care in the UK
Integrated care refers to person-centered and coordinated, health and social care, and community services. Integrated care systems are partnerships of organizations that deliver health and care services which were placed on a statutory footing in England, April 2022. Due to the need for fast, accessible, and relevant evidence, a rapid review was conducted according to World Health Organization methods to determine barriers and enablers of integra…
The Impact of Culture-, Health- and Nature-Based Engagement on Mitigating the Adverse Effects of Public Health Restrictions on Wellbeing, Social Connectedness and Loneliness during Covid-19
Numerous UK surveys conducted during COVID-19 examined the pandemic's detrimental effects on health, and the consequences of lockdown and other public health restrictions on mental health. Some surveys considered specific populations and social inequities exacerbated during COVID-19. Fewer surveys examined the ways in which the adverse effects of public health restrictions, such as lockdown, shielding and social distancing, might be alleviated. D…

This article reports outcomes from a 15-month (2018-19) study led by UCL on behalf of the Culture, Health and Wellbeing Alliance in partnership with three London museums of differing sizes with natural or local history collections. The study aimed to address mental health inequalities by diversifying volunteer populations through reforming recruitment procedures to overcome perceived barriers, and enriching training programmes to improve wellbein…
The Re-Invention of the Goori Cultural Landscape
Cet article analyse la carte, tracée par les auteurs et les auteures, de la géographie aborigène de St Lucia et de Long Pocket, deux banlieues riveraines de Brisbane, en amont du quartier central des affaires, où sont situés deux campus de l’Université du Queensland. La carte sert de prisme à l’observation plus générale de la société aborigène des Goori au début du 19e siècle. Elle a été produite par deux chercheurs aborigènes et un anthropologue…
Exploring the potential of creative museum-led activities to support stroke In-patient rehabilitation and wellbeing
Further research is needed to fully establish the potential of museum-led interventions for stroke rehabilitation
The role of cultural, community and natural assets in addressing societal and structural health inequalities in the UK
Research demonstrates a clear need to assess the impact of cultural and natural assets in reducing inequality. Collaborations between community groups, service providers, local authorities, health commissioners, GPs, and researchers using longitudinal methods are needed within a multi-disciplinary approach to address societal and structural health inequalities
Non-clinical community interventions
Background: This review focused on evaluation of United Kingdom social prescribing schemes published in peer-reviewed journals and reports. Schemes, including arts, books, education and exercise “on prescription” refer patients to community sources of non-clinical intervention. Method: A systematised review protocol appraised primary research material evaluating social prescribing schemes published 2000–2015. Searches were performed in electronic…
Museum-based programs for socially isolated older adults
This paper presents research findings that help to understand how museum programs created opportunities to enhance wellbeing and health, and changed experiences of social isolation in older adults. The research conceptualized how program elements enabled both individual experiences and relational processes to occur. These components operated within a context that was enriched by the museum as a place to support wellbeing and enhance social intera…
Effects of creative museum outreach sessions on measures of confidence, sociability and well-being for mental health and addiction recovery service-users
BackgroundThe study examined the effects of museum outreach sessions on confidence, sociability and well-being measures for mental health (n = 85) and addiction recovery (n = 59) service-users taking an asset-based approach and research design. Method: Both groups participated in weekly outreach sessions combining object handling and museum visits with arts and craft activities. Using mixed methods, measures of confidence, sociability and well-be…
Material objects and psychological theory
Background: This review offers a conceptual summary and critique of psychological theories and research concerning the use of material objects and their possible role in clinical work. Methods: Studies relating to the theory and use of material objects in different contexts and interventions were identified through a search of the following data bases: Psycinfo, Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts and Cochrane Database of Systemic Reviews…
Measuring the impact of museum activities on well-being
The Museum Well-being Measures Toolkit was developed and trialled over 12 months by university researchers and museum professionals from partner museums. The project to develop a museum-focused measure to evaluate the well-being benefits of museum and gallery events and activities was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The need for a suitable measure was determined through AHRC-funded workshops and research that reviewed q…
Assessing well-being outcomes for arts and heritage activities
Many museums and galleries offer services directed at improving the health and well-being of their audiences. Despite this increasing area of activity there is no standardized method for assessing the impact on participants. Recent research into heritage-in-health revealed the need for a culture-specific toolkit of measures to assess the well-being of adults participating in museum, arts and heritage activities. A pre-trial survey of UK specialis…
Mixed methods evaluation of well-being benefits derived from a heritage-in-health intervention with hospital patients
Heritage-in-health sessions enhanced positive mood and social interaction, endorsing the need for provision of well-being-related museum and gallery activities for socially excluded or vulnerable healthcare audiences
Heritage, health and well-being
Do museums and other heritage organisations have something to offer the healthcare sector? Do they have a role in improving health and well-being? Increasingly both heritage and healthcare organisations think they do. A broader definition of health including well-being and an emphasis on preventative medicine and multi-agency approaches to care within the UK’s National Health Service has facilitated the work of museums and galleries in this area.…
Generic well-being outcomes
The concept of well-being is now widely used in policy, including in the museum sector. This article addresses the need for museums to understand and be able to measure their contribution to this increasingly important instrumental value, if they are to engage with the policy. However, due to the indefinite and inconsistent definition of the concept, it is difficult to know what to measure. There are also difficulties capturing this amorphous out…
