The social determinants of mental health and disorder: Evidence, prevention and recommendations
People exposed to more unfavourable social circumstances are more vulnerable to poor mental health over their life course, in ways that are often determined by structural factors which generate and perpetuate intergenerational cycles of disadvantage and poor health.

A rapid realist review of universal interventions to promote inclusivity and acceptance of diverse sexual and gender identities in schools
Universal interventions to promote inclusivity and acceptance of diverse sexual and gender identities in schools could help to prevent mental health problems in this population.

For this study, ten UK-based adults bereaved by the suicide of…
