What is the Impact of the Benefit Cap and two‐child Limit on the Health and Wellbeing of Children and Young People in the UK ? A Rapid Review of Qualitative Evidence
Over the past 15 years, the UK government has implemented significant welfare reforms. This paper reports a rapid review of qualitative data about the impact of the benefit cap and two‐child limit on children and young people's health and wellbeing. Four peer‐reviewed journal articles and 21 grey literature sources were included. The review, the first synthesis of qualitative evidence, demonstrates that the policies reduce children and young peop…
Stratifying areas at risk of housing insecurity among families with children
BackgroundHousing insecurity resulting from multiple, involuntary residential moves is detrimental to the health and wellbeing of families with children. Policy makers seeking to mitigate these negative effects require a measure of risk of housing insecurity. Here we present the development of a novel risk index for England.MethodsWe undertook a literature review to select drivers of housing insecurity and identify relevant metrics. We recruited …
Evaluation of a bridge-based suicide intervention programme
Suicide is a preventable, but complex public health issue. Around one-third of suicides take place in a public location. Easy access to means of self-harm in public spaces, such as bridges, increases risk. While physical modifications (e.g., barriers) are effective for means reduction, they are not always feasible to implement. Bridge Watch is a suicide prevention initiative that uses trained volunteers to patrol public spaces around bridges in t…
Temporal uncertainty, spatial stressors and disrupted connections
Intended to support to families, temporary accommodation can create stress and worry • Living in temporary accommodation has significant financial and time costs • The spatial characteristics of temporary accommodation undermine family wellbeing • Moving out of area disconnects families from support, education and employment • Living in temporary accommodation constitutes a pervasive form of slow violence The growing unaffordability of housing in…
Young people’s views and experience of diet-related inequalities in England (UK)
Inequalities in diets contribute to overall inequalities in health. Economic inequality and inequalities in access to healthy food are key drivers of poor diet and ill health among young people (YP). Despite mounting evidence of structural barriers to healthy eating, less is known about how YP view and experience these inequalities where they live, and how to address them. To explore YP’s perspectives on the drivers of diet-related health inequal…
‘It depends on where you were born…here in the North East, there’s not really many job opportunities compared to in the South’
Our study affords important insights into young people's perceptions of how wider determinants can help explain the North-South health divide in England. It demonstrates young people's contextualised understandings of the interplay between spatial, social and health inequalities. Our findings support calls for pro-equity policies to address the structural causes of regional divides in health. Further research, engaging young people in deliberativ…
Reintroducing face-to-face support alongside remote support to form a hybrid stop smoking service in England
The hybrid approach allows smoking cessation services to evaluate which groups benefit from remote, face-to-face, or mixed options and allocate resources accordingly. Providing choice, flexible provision, non-judgmental support, and clear information about available options could improve engagement and match support to individual needs, enhancing outcomes
Young people's experiences of physical activity insecurity
The overarching concept of 'physical activity insecurity' emerged as a significant concern for the young people in this study. We posit that PA insecurity in this context can be described as a limited or restricted ability to be active, reinforced by worries and lived experiences of feeling uncomfortable, insecure, or unsafe
‘Bigotry is all around us, and we have to deal with that’
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual/agender+ (LGBTQ + hereafter) people report poorer health and worse experiences of healthcare than the general population, compounded by growing inequalities in health seen across the UK. Correspondingly, LGBTQ + youth have higher rates of several negative health outcomes, particularly depression, anxiety, and suicide ideation. This paper explores the views and experiences o…
It All Kind of Links Really’
Meaningful inclusion of young people's perceptions and experiences of inequalities is argued to be critical in the development of pro-equity policies. Our study explored young people's perceptions of what influences their opportunities to be healthy within their local area and their understandings of health inequalities. Three interlinked qualitative focus group discussions, each lasting 90 to 100 min, with the same six groups of young people ( n…
Exploring the Potential of a School-Based Online Health and Wellbeing Screening Tool
Despite high levels of need, many young people who experience health issues do not seek, access or receive support. Between May and November 2021, using semi-structured interviews, we explored the perspectives of 51 young people (aged 13-14) from two schools who had taken part in a novel online health and wellbeing screening programme, the Digital Health Contact (DHC). One school delivered the DHC during home-learning due to COVID-19 restrictions…
Exploring the potential of a school-based online health and wellbeing screening tool
The DHC, as a universal school-based health and wellbeing screening tool with linked follow-up intervention, has great potential in identifying and supporting unmet health needs among CYP. The perspectives and experiences of those involved in delivering the DHC highlight important considerations which may enable effective implementation and delivery of school screening programmes across other areas
Exploring young people's perspectives on mental health support
Improving young people's (YP) mental health and well-being is a global public health priority. Despite continued commitment within the UK policy agenda to improve the mental health and well-being of YP, the incidence of mental health issues continues to rise. This has been further compounded by the outbreak of COVID-19 which has disproportionately affected YP in the most socioeconomically disadvantaged areas. Understanding YP's perspectives on wh…
The Liminal Leisure of Disadvantaged Young People in the UK Before and During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The global COVID-19 pandemic has created, exposed and exacerbated inequalities and differences around access to—and experiences and representations of—the physical and virtual spaces of young people’s leisure cultures and practices. Drawing on longstanding themes of continuity and change in youth leisure scholarship, this paper contributes to our understandings of ‘liminal leisure’ as experienced by some young people in the UK before and during t…
Exploring inequalities in health with young people through online focus groups
Purpose The use of online focus groups to explore children and young people's (CYP) perspectives of inequalities in health and associated “sensitive” topics raises important ethical and methodological issues to consider. The purpose of the paper is to discuss lessons learnt from navigating the authors' way through some of the key challenges the authors encountered when researching inequalities in health with CYP through online focus groups. Desig…
