Towards a new model of population mental health research and policy translation in the UK
‘ It Is Like a Cross‐Stitch … All Joined Together But Not Making a Very Nice Pattern’
BACKGROUND: People with severe mental illness (SMI) have worse physical health than the general population and face a range of challenges with their healthcare. This study aimed to explore the interplay of issues across system, service, social and individual levels that impact healthcare experiences and outcomes from the perspective of people with comorbid SMI and physical health needs. METHODS: A qualitative study was conducted. Fifteen individu…
Climate Change Cognition, Affect, and Behavior in Youth
Climate change is the greatest threat to global health, yet the burden is not distributed equally. Young people are particularly vulnerable to the physical and mental health impacts, and their increasing engagement in climate activism highlights the need to summarize the available evidence on climate change cognition, affect, and behavior in this population. We followed the JBI methodology for scoping reviews and included sources that addressed c…
Like fumbling around in the dark’
Learning to negotiate relationships is a key feature of adolescence, yet insight into young people's perspectives on what constitutes healthy relationships is lacking. In this study, therefore, insights were sought on healthy relationship qualities, common issues encountered, and relevant educational experiences. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 18 young people (11 self-identified as female, 5 male, and 2 trans/gender-diverse) aged…
Psycho-social factors associated with climate distress, hope and behavioural intentions in young UK residents
Although the UK has been relatively spared significant geophysical impacts of climate change, many people, youth in particular, are increasingly worried about climate change. The psychological distress associated with the (perceived) threat of climate change has been linked to poorer mental wellbeing but can also promote adaptive responses such as engagement in pro-environmental behaviour. In this mixed methods study, we delve deeper into the exp…
Student perspectives on a state-wide relationships and sexual health programme in South Australian schools, 2006–2017
Relationships and sexual health education is an accepted part of the school curriculum to support adolescent development. In recent years, the nature of this education has expanded to include topics encompassing a social model of health (e.g. with a focus on gender roles). There has, however, been limited exploration of student views about the inclusion of these topics. This paper presents student feedback on South Australia's Relationships and S…
Mental Health of Young Australians during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is widely understood to have contributed to mental health problems. In Australia, young people (18-24 years) have been disproportionately affected. To date, research has predominantly focused on the presence or absence of mental illness symptoms, while aspects of mental well-being have been overlooked. We aimed to explore associations between potential risk and protective factors and mental health …
Psychological impacts of “screen time” and “green time” for children and adolescents
Technological developments in recent decades have increased young people's engagement with screen-based technologies (screen time), and a reduction in young people's contact with nature (green time) has been observed concurrently. This combination of high screen time and low green time may affect mental health and well-being. The aim of this systematic scoping review was to collate evidence assessing associations between screen time, green time, …
