Multiagency Collaborations to Support Well‐Being Amongst Care‐Experienced Children and Young People in School and During Transition to Further Education College
Multiagency collaboration to address care‐experienced children and young people's mental well‐being has been advocated as a way of attending to complex needs while avoiding fragmented support. Key sectors with a statutory role include education, mental health and social care, and there is increasing interest at a UK and global scale about stakeholder experiences of multiagency collaboration and how sectors work together when young people transiti…
Exploring the use of interactive data dashboards as a tool to support a data‐driven approach to whole‐school health improvement
School is an important setting for supporting young people's healthy development and positive mental wellbeing. Recent curriculum changes in Scotland and Wales reflect this, adopting a whole‐school approach to health and wellbeing as a central pedagogical focus and responsibility of all working in the sector. Alongside education system reform, there is a growing recognition of the need for health improvement decision‐making in schools to take a d…
Mental Wellbeing Needs and Support for Care‐Experienced Children and Young People in Secondary School and During the Transition to Further Education College
Education settings are critical for supporting mental wellbeing, but there is limited support specifically for care‐experienced children and young people, including gaps in supporting the transition to Further Education (FE) colleges. Using a mixture of qualitative methods, this study aimed to understand mental wellbeing provision in secondary schools and FE colleges in Wales, UK, for those currently or formerly in foster, kinship or residential …
Understanding school-based counselling services in complex systems
Objectives: Community sites, including schools, are important settings for interventions to promote children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing. A central provision to support mental health in the UK is school- and community-based counselling services. However, the evidence-base for school counselling services is limited by weak evaluation designs, lack of understanding of different counselling approaches in use, and a failure to conc…
Risk Behaviours Associated with Dating and Relationship Violence among 11–16 Year Olds in Wales
(1) Background: This study examines the associations between risk behaviours and adolescent emotional and physical dating and relationship violence (DRV) victimisation and perpetration, and how these vary by gender. The risk behaviours explored include bullying, cyberbullying, sexting, alcohol, and cannabis use; (2) Methods: Cross-sectional self-report data from the School Health Research Network (SHRN) 2019 Student Health Wellbeing (SHW) survey …
Measurement invariance of the short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale and latent mean differences (SWEMWBS) in young people by current care status
Findings suggest that SWEMWBS is a valid scale for measuring differences in mental wellbeing for young people in care similar to the population
Testing the “Zero‐Sum Game” Hypothesis
BACKGROUND: Health and education are intrinsically linked, while both are significantly patterned by socioeconomic status throughout the life course. Nevertheless, the impact of promoting health via schools on education is seen by some as a "zero-sum game"; ie, focusing resources on health improvement activity distracts schools from their core business of educating pupils, potentially compromising educational attainment. There is emerging evidenc…
Socioeconomic status, mental wellbeing and transition to secondary school
Young people's wellbeing is often lowest where they assume a relatively low position within their school's socioeconomic hierarchy, for example, among poorer children attending more affluent schools. Transition to secondary school is a period during which young people typically enter an environment which is more socioeconomically diverse than their primary school. Young people joining a school with a higher socioeconomic status intake relative to…
Socio-Economic Inequalities in Adolescent Summer Holiday Experiences, and Mental Wellbeing on Return to School
The socioeconomic inequalities found in child and adolescent mental wellbeing are increasingly acknowledged. Although interventions increasingly focus on school holidays as a critical period for intervention to reduce inequalities, no studies have modelled the role of summer holiday experiences in explaining socioeconomic inequalities in wellbeing. For this study, we analysed survey data of 103,971 adolescents from 193 secondary schools in Wales,…
Sexual health outcomes for young people in state care
School composition, school culture and socioeconomic inequalities in young people's health
Health inequalities emerge during childhood and youth, before widening in adulthood. Theorising, testing and interrupting the mechanisms through which inequalities are perpetuated and sustained is vital. Schools are viewed as settings through which inequality in young people's health may be addressed, but few studies examine the social processes via which institutional structures reproduce or mitigate health inequalities. Informed by Markham and …
Variations in schools’ commitment to health and implementation of health improvement activities
There is no evidence of an 'inverse care law' in school health, with some evidence of more comprehensive, multi-level health improvement activity in more deprived schools. This large-scale, quantitative analysis supports previous smaller scale, qualitative studies/process evaluations that suggest that senior management team commitment to delivering health improvement, and formulating and reviewing progress against written action plans, are import…

Improving food provision in a Guyanese home for the elderly
Objectives To conduct a needs assessment of all aspects of food provision in a residential home and to evaluate a subsequent nutrition intervention. Design An intervention study using a before and after design. A participatory approach was adopted and quantitative and qualitative methods used throughout. The intervention involved a revised menu, kitchen equipment, and establishing wholesale shopping and food donations. Setting A residential home …
Increased breathing control
Investigation into the evolution of human language has involved evidence of many different kinds and approaches from many different disciplines. For full modern language, humans must have evolved a range of physical abilities for the production of our complex speech sounds, as well as sophisticated cognitive abilities. Human speech involves free-flowing, intricately varied, rapid sound sequences suitable for the fast transfer of complex, highly f…
Making Public Health Nutrition relevant to evidence-based action
Public health nutrition enjoyed many breakthroughs in the 20th century – from the discovery of vitamins and the metabolic roles of some 60 macro- and micronutrients, to the effects of maternal and childhood diet on health over the life course. Moreover, the food shortages in the UK that were experienced during World War II gave the first opportunity to show that nutritional science could make a valuable contribution to public policy. However, pub…
The evolution of human speech
Many cognitive and physical features must have undergone change for the evolution of fully modern human language. One neglected aspect is the evolution of increased breathing control. Evidence presented herein shows that modern humans and Neanderthals have an expanded thoracic vertebral canal compared with australopithecines and Homo ergaster, who had canals of the same relative size as extant nonhuman primates. Based on previously published anal…
