A taxonomy of children and young people's social prescribing models
Introduction: Social prescribing for children and young people (CYP) is expanding across England, yet there is limited understanding of how local services interpret and configure its core components-individual need, referrer, linking function and community activity-particularly for CYP presenting with mental health difficulties. Methods: Using a multi-site case study design, we examined five CYP-focused social prescribing pathways selected for th…
Social prescriptions for advancing resilience in kids (SPARK)
The study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov on June 6, 2025 (NCT07022561)
The content of Recovery College courses in England
RCs support mental health recovery through a diverse curriculum. Community-facing and strengths-based, health service-affiliated RCs offer similar courses. RCs prioritize equipping students with knowledge about living with mental health issues. Courses targeted to informal carers are lacking. Further cross-cultural extension of the typology is needed
Australian and UK Perspectives on Social Prescribing Implementation Research
There has been a rapid increase in the delivery of social prescribing globally in recent years. However, a lack of theoretical framework, the diversity of social prescribing interventions and outcome measures, a lack of ongoing resources to provide services equitably and a lack of coordinated research agenda make it challenging for practitioners to know how best to put social prescribing into practice. This paper summarises perspectives from 29 U…
Young People’s Views of Social Prescribing as an Approach to Improving Mental Health
Child and adolescent mental health difficulties are increasing in the UK and internationally. Social prescribing (SP), a nonmedical, community‐linked approach, has shown promise for improving adult wellbeing, but its use and acceptability among young people (YP) remain under‐researched. There is limited evidence regarding YP’s own views on whether SP is a valuable option for supporting youth mental health. This study aimed to explore YP’s views o…
Sustaining mental health and wellbeing programmes in schools
Despite recent investments in school-based mental health and wellbeing promotion in England, the sustainability of mental health interventions remains a substantial challenge. This article brings together potential solutions to sustaining interventions in schools, drawing on insights from an online roundtable discussion held in July 2022. Facilitated by researchers and informed by recent research on barriers and facilitators to sustaining school-…
Cross-Cultural Insights from Two Global Mental Health Studies
This commentary highlights two cross-cultural issues identified from our global mental health (GMH) research, RECOLLECT (Recovery Colleges Characterisation and Testing) 2: self-enhancement and ingroup biases. Self-enhancement is a tendency to maintain and express unrealistically positive self-views. Ingroup biases are differences in one’s evaluation of others belonging to the same social group. These biases are discussed in the context of GMH res…
Supporting Children Transitioning to Secondary School
Supporting children to successfully transition from primary to secondary school is of utmost importance for several reasons, including to prevent future emotional and behavioural problems. Level Up is a novel, UK-based intervention consisting of five online group sessions, straddling the summer holidays, and providing at-risk children and their parents/carers with skills to manage their behaviour, emotions, and relationships to support their tran…
Towards Active Integrated Waiting Lists
Background: Specialist healthcare providers internationally face challenges managing elective care waiting lists. There is an increase focus on how we can provide integrated care solutions to achieve active rather than passive waiting. This requires potentially complex interactions across care boundaries and care providers alongside novel digital solutions. Crucially however we must also understand the lived patient experience of people on those …
Shall We Send a Panda?’ A Practical Guide to Engaging Schools in Research
The substantial time that children and young people spend in schools makes them important sites to trial and embed prevention and early intervention programmes. However, schools are complex settings, and it can be difficult to maintain school engagement in research trials; many projects experience high levels of attrition. This commentary presents learning from two large-scale, mixed-methods mental health intervention trials in English schools. T…
Readability of Commonly Used Quality of Life Outcome Measures for Youth Self-Report
Self-report measures are central in capturing young people's perspectives on mental health concerns and treatment outcomes. For children and adolescents to complete such measures meaningfully and independently, the reading difficulty must match their reading ability. Prior research suggests a frequent mismatch for mental health symptom measures. Similar analyses are lacking for measures of Quality of Life (QoL). We analysed the readability of 13 …
Factors affecting the sustainability of community mental health assets
An Affective-Appraisal Approach for Parental Shared Decision Making in Children and Young People's Mental Health Settings
Background: The majority of existing shared decision making (SDM) models are yet to explicitly account for emotion as an influencing factor to the SDM process. This study aimed to explore the role of parents' and carers' emotional experiences as a concept that has implications for SDM in children and young people's mental health (CYPMH) settings. Methods: A social constructivist grounded theory approach, analyzing data from focus groups ( n = 4) …
Parent/Carer-Reported Experience of Shared Decision Making at Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services
Background and Objective: Shared decision making (SDM) has been associated with positive outcomes at child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS). However, implementing SDM is sometimes challenging. Understanding the factors associated with parent/carer experience of SDM could provide empirical evidence to support targeted efforts to promote SDM. This study aimed to explore the frequency of parent/carer-reported experience of SDM and exami…
Global land carbon sink response to temperature and precipitation varies with Enso phase
Climate variability associated with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and its consequent impacts on land carbon sink interannual variability have been used as a basis for investigating carbon cycle responses to climate variability more broadly, and to inform the sensitivity of the tropical carbon budget to climate change. Past studies have presented opposing views about whether temperature or precipitation is the primary factor driving the …
Adolescents' Judgments of Doubly Deviant Peers
Group membership, loyalty, and weight are highly relevant for adolescent peer evaluations at school. This research tested how in‐group/out‐group membership affected judgments of peers who deviated from social norms for weight and loyalty. Two hundred and forty 11–13‐year‐olds (49 percent female; 94 percent Caucasian) judged two in‐group or out‐group peers: one was normative (loyal and average weight) and the other was non‐normative (i.e., ‘devian…
Disentangling climatic and anthropogenic controls on global terrestrial evapotranspiration trends
We examined natural and anthropogenic controls on terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) changes from 1982 to 2010 using multiple estimates from remote sensing-based datasets and process-oriented land surface models. A significant increasing trend of ET in each hemisphere was consistently revealed by observationally-constrained data and multi-model ensembles that considered historic natural and anthropogenic drivers. The climate impacts were simulat…
A Large and Persistent Carbon Sink in the World’s Forests
Net average global annual uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide by forests was 1.1 petagrams of carbon, roughly one-sixth of fossil fuel emissions.
