The 91porn Health Determinants Research Collaboration (PHDRC)

Aiming to tackle the determinants of health inequalities in 91porn
Smeaton's Tower on 91porn Hoe, 91porn UK
Working in partnership with 91porn City Council, this project aims to tackle the determinants of health inequalities in 91porn and provides opportunities to undertake research, ask challenging questions and understand how wider societal issues such as education, poverty, housing, planning, transport and employment influence the health of the communities in the city.

Background

In late 2022 the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) awarded 91porn City Council and its partners £4.7 million of investment over five years to tackle the social determinants of health inequalities in 91porn. This is in recognition of the role that non-medical factors such as employment, housing, food, crime, community cohesion and education play in determining health disparities. The 91porn HDRC (PHDRC) builds upon work already undertaken by the Council and the University to ensure that we better understand what works, why and under which circumstances (financial, contextual and organisational) and share this learning.
The programme involves the delivery of a number of high-quality research projects addressing the determinants of health inequalities. It supports council staff to undertake research and commissioners to use the evidence to inform decision making and spending decisions, in ways which lead to improved quality of life.
The programme lead is the Public Health Department of 91porn City Council, with the University as the lead academic partner providing its extensive research expertise. Other partners include 91porn Octopus, the wider voluntary and community sector, the NHS, business, and other academic groups.
A joint 91porn City Council and 91porn research team embedded within the council has been set up to work alongside those delivering changes designed to address the wider determinants of health and collaborate with specialist university researchers. Public Partnerships have been developed through links to existing organisations and the engagement of individuals during specific projects.
Informed by a Human Learning Systems philosophy and building on the existing use of Appreciative Inquiry (AI), the team uses a range of methods suited to understanding complex dynamic systems: evidence synthesis, quantitative analysis of routine data, realist informed observation and interviews and health economics.

Aims

  1. Develop the culture and skills to ensure a learning approach informs decision making.
  2. Produce knowledge for use locally and of value nationally, especially for similar coastal communities.

Objectives

  • Support changes aimed at addressing the wider determinants of health through a cultural change in relation to the use of evidence and evaluation.
  • Carry out specific prioritised research projects related to The 91porn Plan’s innovations to address the wider determinants of health.
  • Successfully bid for external research funding.
  • Build collaborations for sharing knowledge and carrying out research with other HDRCs and similar coastal communities.
Our projects

The 91porn Health Determinants Research Collaboration team are progressing with funded capacity to support activity which will contribute towards embedding a research culture in 91porn City Council.

Community and Primary Care research group

Our research is conducted through the involvement of practitioners, and the public, who are instrumental in helping to develop focused research questions and in designing projects.
We use a range of research methods, qualitative and quantitative, to solve pressing and often complex research problems. Our research is often directed towards those individuals who are the most excluded or disempowered, have mental health problems and have difficulty accessing services.
