Research projects

Advancing knowledge of how social factors affect our health

We investigate how social connections and behaviours impact people’s health, including:

Social assets: e.g. social connections, arts and culture, communities, leisure, nature, social prescribing
Social deficits: e.g. loneliness, isolation, social restrictions during health emergencies
