Abstract
How we engage in social relationships has changed dramatically over the past few decades. New technologies, increased urbanisation, and the ageing population have all had a profound impact on the way we interact with each other, the implications of which have yet to be fully understood. The proposed research project aims to investigate the influence of social relationships, in a contemporary Britain, as a potentially malleable target for changing and improving the course of mental health and wellbeing throughout the lifespan. Relying on available data from two UK nationally-representative cohorts, and using a life-course approach, this project will examine social isolation and loneliness, cyber harassment, and childhood bullying victimization and will cover mental health and wellbeing from childhood up to midlife. More specifically, analyses will be conducted to (1) generate a profile of loneliness in young adults by looking at their overall wellbeing, mental health, education levels, employment and living circumstances (NEET), and physical health; (2) map "hotspots" of loneliness among young adults, mental health problems, and provision of mental health services in contemporary Britain; (3) examine childhood predictors of social support in adult life and test the buffering effect of social support on mental and physical health at midlife; (3) study the extent of cyber harassment among young adults and test its independent effect on mental health and wellbeing, over and above other forms of victimization; (5) explore the long-term impact of childhood bullying victimization on mental health service use from childhood to adolescence and up to midlife; and (6) estimate the associated individual and societal costs.
Childhood bullying victimization is common among youths: according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), one in three children report having been bullied at some point in their lives, with 10% to 14% experiencing chronic bullying lasting for more than six months. It is not surprising that bullying and cyber harassment are the main reason for young people contacting online support services such as Child Line and YoungMinds. This project will engage key stakeholders in considering solutions for reducing individuals' suffering and the burden of bullying victimization on mental health across the lifespan. It will also engage the government and policy makers in considering the individual and societal costs of bullying victimization in the UK. Furthermore, the UK has being described in the press as the "loneliness capital of Europe". According to the Office for National Statistics (2014), UK residents' satisfaction with their social lives is lower than the EU-wide average, and the percentage of the population with access to supportive social relationships is the third lowest of all the 28 EU nations. This project will resonate with the public's concerns around risk associated with developing poor social relationships and finding solutions on how to address these problems from an early age. This project will impact on research by generating new discoveries, exploiting innovative technologies, and maximizing valuable existing data resources. This project is cutting-edge, investigating the emerging topics of youths' loneliness and cyber harassment. Findings will impact interventions and clinical practices by potentially unraveling loneliness and cyber harassment as significant influences on mental health and wellbeing. Ultimately, this project may indicate that positive social relationships represent a target for prevention and intervention strategies. Helping youth developing and maintaining supportive relationships with their peers may be an efficient pathway to promote mental health and wellbeing and also build resilience.

Planned Impact
The research and leadership activities outlined in this proposal lay the bases for promoting and better recognizing through different mechanisms the importance of mental health and wellbeing in the UK society today. The leadership activities will shape current mental health research and influence its future through funding, partnerships (national, international, and interdisciplinary), capacity building, and public engagement. The research programme will lead to an increased understanding of the negative or positive influences of social factors on mental health in the digital age. It will impact science and policy through publications in high-impact journals and discussions with stakeholders and policy makers. We anticipate several different groups will benefit from the proposed activities via various pathways:
Pathway 1 - Creating a synergy with different research opportunities, partnerships, and new technologies
The scientific community will benefit from this programme of leadership activities. The proposed activities will create opportunities for a wide range of mental health researchers via new funding schemes, clearer pathways for career development, exchanges with academics and stakeholders from various backgrounds, and greater dissemination of their research through creative public engagement activities. A consideration of new technologies and exciting unconventional partnerships will facilitate the gathering of valuable data that would be otherwise impossible to collect. Researchers, mental health professionals and stakeholders will benefit from exchanging new findings and ideas during the academic meetings.
Pathway 2 - Shaping the funding landscape of mental health research
The creation of an ESRC mental health portfolio will benefit UK research councils including the MRC, Wellcome, and BBSRC with a harmonisation of funding opportunities across councils. Researchers will also take advantage of targeted calls for proposals. Junior academics will gain from funding schemes targeting people at the stages of their career.
Pathway 3 - Advancing knowledge through scientific breakthrough
Through the publication of empirical evidence on the impact of social relationships today on mental health and wellbeing, a range of people will benefit from the research programme proposed here. Increased knowledge will benefit researchers by generating new discoveries and suggesting original hypotheses. The conclusions emerging from the research activities will be relevant for policy makers who shape the UK health and education systems using evidence-based recommendations. Mental health professionals will also benefit from the identification of frequently occurring, malleable social risk factors influencing mental health and wellbeing across the lifespan.
Pathway 4 - Facilitating communication across disciplines and with stakeholders
Various stakeholders will engage in the leadership activities and they will benefit from accessing new research, opportunities to influence the direction of mental health research, as well as increasing communication with academics. The synergy produced around mental health research will create a platform for researchers from various disciplines to generate ideas and collaborative projects.
Pathway 5 - Engaging with the public about mental health and wellbeing
Via a series of innovative, engaging, easily accessible and activities, the general public will gain from this proposal by discovering and learning about mental health and wellbeing and accessing evidence-based information. Young graduates may make career choices in mental health following such activities.

Title | An animation based on a policy brief |
Description | An animation based on a policy brief highlights how mental health problems in children and young people that are at risk can be limited through providing more targeted support. The animation was created in collaboration with the Policy Institute at King's and Young Research Advisers from the National Children's Bureau. The animation pairs creative drawing with a young person's narration on how strengthened interventions can limit the harm associated with bullying at a young age, that can last for a long time. The video draws on research of pairs of identical twins, in which bullied twins experienced higher symptoms of anxiety and depression compared to their co-twins who had not experienced bullying. |

Title | Interviews Project: Let's Talk Mental Health : Series II_Arseneault |
Description | Building on the success of the first project, Let's Talk Mental Health, a second series of the interviews project was orchestrated by Professor Louise Arseneault with a view to promote discussion, remove stigma and increase knowledge of mental health. The first series was widely viewed by students, junior academics and those interested in pursuing careers in mental health. The second series aimed to continue this connection, but also reach out to wider audiences - particularly those outside of the mental health field. The second series shone a light on the experiences of those with mental health difficulties and also gave young professionals working in the mental health field the chance to learn from people with lived experience and vice versa. The series includes 5 short films and is shared on YouTube, and across different social media platforms to (1) Look ahead to the future for young people in mental health. (2) Highlight young people's voice in mental health. (3) Promote the work of emerging disciplines in mental health. (4) Emphasise the perspectives of service users. |

Description | I studied the effect of social relationships - good or bad - on the development of mental health problems. I am especially interested in social relationships as a potentially malleable target for changing and improving the course of mental health throughout the lifespan. I provide here 3 examples of our work: 1) Bullying is common in childhood with approximately 20% of young people having been bullied. We showed that being bullied in childhood is associated with higher symptoms of anxiety and depression over time, irrespective of genetic confounds and children's pre-existing mental health problems. With my former PhD student Lucy Bowes who is now at Oxford University, we tried to explain why not all bullied children end up developing mental health problems. Our findings indicated that bullied children who had highly supportive families - characterised by caring loving mothers and close relationships between siblings, had fewer emotional problems than bullied children from less supportive families. And while maternal warmth and close relationships with siblings were associated with positive adjustment for non-bullied children too, the effects of these protective factors were stronger for the bullied children. We further showed that the protective effect supportive families have on young people's mental health was not only due to loving and caring mothers passing on genes for resilience to their offspring. Our findings highlight the importance of anti-bullying interventions for reducing mental health problems in youth. They also emphasize the importance of including families in intervention programmes aimed at reducing difficulties experienced by bullied children. 2) Loneliness is not confined to old age. We reported that feelings of loneliness - the perceptions that social connections are inadequate - are common among adolescents. With my former PhD student Timothy Matthews, we showed that lonelier 18 year-olds were more likely to meet diagnostic criteria for alcohol and cannabis dependence, to have self-harmed, and to have attempted suicide. But loneliness was most strongly associated with depression and anxiety. Loneliness remained independently associated with mental health disorders when prior symptoms were taken into account. We further showed that the association between loneliness and depression was not confined to genetic underpinnings. In adolescence, half of the covariance between loneliness and depression was explained by environmental factors. Longitudinal findings further indicated that adolescents' propensity to feeling lonely were shaped by being socially isolated and being bullied in childhood and also by pre-existing mental health problems. Our findings underscore the importance of early interventions to prevent lonely adolescents from being trapped in loneliness as they age and from developing mental health problems. 3) Most adults have developed positive social relationships in their lives, providing them networks of social ties and sources of emotional, informational and practical support. With my former colleague Rukmen Sehmi, who is now working at NatCen, we showed that at mid-life, having a broad network of social ties and better personal support helps individuals withstand exposure to high levels of stress. Among individuals exposed to three or more stressors, only rich social resources conferred benefits: individuals with typical and poor resources had similarly high levels of affective symptoms, whereas it was only those with rich social resources that had lower symptoms in this group. We found a similar pattern of findings 5 years later when we examined psychological distress at age 50. We further contributed longitudinal evidence that precursors of rich social resources at mid-life included greater sociability in childhood and in adolescence. Our study highlights that it may be advantageous to intervene early, prior to adulthood, to ensure young people acquire the skills to develop social resources that will help them cope with stress throughout their lives and up to midlife. The aim of my research is to challenge the obvious. I do this by using nationally-representative, genetically-sensitive and longitudinal data. My findings strengthen the evidence that social relationships across the life span can be considered as targets for interventions aiming at both reducing risk factors associated with poor mental health and increasing resources necessary to face lifelong challenges. Since the end of this award and with my students, I continued to study the impact of social relationships, and more specifically social isolation in childhood and loneliness in young adulthood, on later outcomes. We showed that young people's experiences of social isolation are intricately intertwined with mental health problems. Isolated children follow distinct patterns of change over childhood and isolation seems most detrimental to health at the time it is experienced. Social isolation can be a valuable indicator of co-occurring problems and provide targets for mental health intervention in young people. Also, we showed that rather than a risk factor for or an outcome, social isolation is aetiologically intertwined with the experience of poor mental health. An integrative assessment of social isolation could be a helpful indicator for clinicians and educational professionals to identify underlying mental health symptoms in young people. We also showed that young adults who had experienced loneliness earlier on in life experienced difficulties in young adulthood, even if they were no longer lonely. We suggested that this demonstrates that loneliness impacts a person's long term economic prospects and suggests that addressing loneliness in early adolescence could yield economic benefits through increased productivity. |

Description | As part of my Mental Health Leadership Fellowship, several outputs influenced policy. For example: - Contributed written evidence to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport Independent Report "Tackling loneliness evidence review" to establish what we know about loneliness and the evidence gaps - 2022. (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tackling-loneliness-evidence-review/tackling-loneliness-evidence-review-full-report). - Panellist at the Academy of Medical Sciences 'Ask the Experts' online briefings for parliamentarians on Covid-19. - Produced a policy brief following the Policy Lab. This document summarises the discussions and the conclusions of the Policy Lab. It also lists a series of recommendations to address the mental health outcomes experienced by young victims of bullying, https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn%3Aaaid%3Ascds%3AUS%3Ac11e32fc-094c-45e9-a666-4793c02f9cd9 - Speaker at the Westminster Education Forum Keynote Seminar. Priorities for children's mental health - integrating services and improving provision in schools. The impact of those activities can not be detected in the short term. However, there are already indications - via contacts and discussions - these may have an impact for influencing policy and service delivery. |

Impact | Professor Louise Arseneault contributed to a roundtable comprising academics, charity sector representatives, technology providers, investors and government officials.The purpose was to understand the current state of digital mental health technologies; their uses now and future potential; and the evidence of their effectiveness. This subject is important for three reasons: 1. The social and economic impacts of mental ill-health are expected to grow. This is an issue receiving attention from policy makers and a priority for the Government. 2. The life sciences constitute a major element of the Government's industrial strategy. There is a potential economic opportunity for the UK to lead innovation for mental health. 3. Views on the role of technology in responding to mental ill-health are often polarised between those who see it is a 'silver bullet' that will soon revolutionise treatment at moderate cost, and those who are highly sceptical of both current applications and future prospects. The truth likely lies between these two extremes. This roundtable was arranged to start developing a stronger shared evidence base within government, to enable better-informed policy making |

Impact | Louise Arseneault hosted a policy lab with a diverse group of practitioners, researchers, policymakers and advocates to address the question whether it is valuable, feasible, and acceptable to strengthen interventions focusing on victims and potential victims of bullying in order to reduce and prevent mental health problems. The policy lab generated much ideas, thoughts and discussions by the attendees which has formed part of the evidence submitted to an inquiry by the government on how Adverse Childhood Experiences can have long term negative impacts on young people. Through the policy lab, a policy brief is being created to disseminate to a wide-ranging audience to address the question and raise awareness of the issue. |

Title | Landscaping international longitudinal datasets website and list of datasets |
Description | We are a partnership of researchers, charities, and industry and lived experience experts funded by the Wellcome Trust to landscape longitudinal datasets with potential for transformative mental health research. As part of this project, we identified more than 3,000 longitudinal datasets worldwide and we made the list freely available on our website. |

Impact | The landscaping website was a successful way to engage with people outside the partnership and to share information with them. In February 2023, we recorded over 4,400 visits and more than 6,400 page views from people based in 76 different countries. |

Title | The Catalogue of Mental Health Measures |
Description | The Catalogue of Mental Health Measures is designed to provide easy access to information about the mental health measures included in British cohort and longitudinal studies to maximise the uptake of existing data and facilitate mental health research. By providing details of the measures and studies, the catalogue serves as a resource for researchers 1) identifying datasets that include mental health and wellbeing measures; 2) planning harmonisation studies; 3) planning further data collection. The resource is also intended for researchers who may be less familiar with mental health or from other disciplines - demographers, economists, urbanist, linguists and others. To support these researchers, the catalogue also provides information about additional training and support for conducting longitudinal mental health research. In the past year only, the Catalogue had 6,334 visitors, of which, 5,433 were new visitors and 901 were returning visitors. the Catalogue also received a total of 22,289 page views. Half of the visitors are in the UK and half are from abroad. |
Type Of Material | Improvements to research infrastructure |
Year Produced | 2019 |
Provided To Others? | Yes |
Impact | Benefiting researchers and funders: Our new resource will be useful for as well as principal investigators and funding bodies. The Catalogue may be particularly useful for early career researchers utilising data that has already collected and researchers less familiar with the mental health field - but it may also hold some surprises for experienced mental health researchers! Easy access to detailed information: Longitudinal study designs are advantageous as they allow for closely examining patterns of change and the influence of earlier life circumstances on later outcomes, as well as providing insight into causal mechanisms and processes. The Catalogue provides mental health researchers with easy access to detailed information about thousands of valuable measures of mental health in over 30 UK cohort and longitudinal studies. The search engine gives users the opportunity to explore by study, mental health topic and symptom, as well as by standard instruments, such as the General Health Questionnaire. Researchers can use the catalogue to identify specific measures collected in a range of different longitudinal study types, including representative samples, birth cohorts, twin studies, ageing studies, and studies focusing on specific mental health problems. Researchers in the early stages of their career, who may not have the opportunity to collect new data first-hand, will find the Catalogue's focus on existing data particularly helpful. The Catalogue allows users to explore established studies, quickly access detailed information about the mental health measures they have collected, and thus potentially identify previously unknown resources of use for their research. |

The academies hoped to use this meeting to also build on the previous work on global mental health (such as this meeting in 2019 on the social determinants of mental health), and wider ongoing work in the ecosystem. The project was led by a co-nominated Steering Committee, headed up by Chairs from both the Academy and ASSAf. I was co-chair for this project steering committee. |

Title | The Catalogue of Mental Health Measures |
Description | The Catalogue of Mental Health Measures is designed to provide easy access to information about the mental health measures included in British cohort and longitudinal studies to maximise the uptake of existing data and facilitate mental health research. By providing details of the measures and studies, the catalogue serves as a resource for researchers: 1) Identifying datasets that include mental health and wellbeing measures; 2) Planning harmonisation studies; and 3) Planning further data collection. The resource is also intended for researchers who may be less familiar with mental health or from other disciplines - demographers, economists, urbanist, linguists and others. To support these researchers, the Catalogue also provides information about additional training and support for conducting longitudinal mental health research The catalogue does: Provide a search engine for finding mental health and wellbeing measures collected in existing UK longitudinal studies Present detailed information about mental health and wellbeing measures, including items, response scales, informants and reporting period Highlight statistical properties of standard measures of mental health and wellbeing Cover longitudinal and cohort studies, as well as repeated cross-sectional studies Focus on UK studies and cohorts (for now!) Point to data access policies for each study Signpost resources to support users in conducting longitudinal mental health research, including statistical courses and online training Connect users to a panel of experts in conducting mental health research (coming soon!) |

The series includes 5 short films and is shared on YouTube, and across different social media platforms to (1) Look ahead to the future for young people in mental health. (2) Highlight young people's voice in mental health. (3) Promote the work of emerging disciplines in mental health. (4) Emphasise the perspectives of service users. |

Results and Impact | We have developed a searchable catalogue to help people find information about existing measures of mental health and wellbeing in UK cohort and longitudinal studies. The Catalogue of Mental Health Measures compiles and organises information about mental health measures in over 30 (and counting!) UK cohort and longitudinal studies. It features descriptions of the studies and the measures of mental health and wellbeing they have collected, as well as information about statistical resources and training. The catalogue improves the visibility and accessibility of these measures, making it easier for researchers from across different disciplines to make use of the incredibly rich mental health data currently available in the UK's longitudinal studies. Our new resource will be useful for researchers from across different disciplines and career stages. The Catalogue may be particularly useful for early career researchers utilising data that has already collected and researchers less familiar with the mental health field - but it may also hold some surprises for experienced mental health researchers! |

Results and Impact | The theme of the workshop was "Developing an environment where mental health and wellbeing research can flourish in the social sciences and where the social sciences are strongly embedded in mental health research". During the 2 workshop sessions, participants engaged in a rich high-level discussion. The focus was mainly on social sciences and mental health research rather than specifically on the activities proposed in the fellowship renewal. There was no marked difference in the contribution of participants who took part in 1 session versus those who attended the two sessions. Several topics were discussed during the workshops and a few are worth mentioning here. During the first session, and related to the challenges involved with the theme of the workshop, participants focused particularly on the disparity between biomedical and social sciences with regards to funding, methods, and impact. Participants suggested that a constructive approach for dealing with this issue might be to value the differences across disciplines instead of arguing which one is the best. Related to this topic, the issue of power differentials in research was brought up on several occasions. There was an acknowledgement that part of this situation was created by pressure and competitiveness in academia and a lack of high-level coordination of research efforts, and that little could be done about this. Another challenge that was touched upon during the discussion was the voice of people with a diversity of lived experiences not being heard and vulnerable groups not being represented in research. During the second session, participants mentioned the importance of focusing of links across the 3 main activities to increase cohesiveness in the delivery of the Fellowship. This valuable exercise will influence the development of the Fellowship renewal in a number of ways. First, participants were very engaged in the ToC process and passionate about strengthening the links between mental health and social sciences. As the Fellowship moves forward, it will be valuable to stay in contact with this group of people to seek feedback and suggestions. Second, the topic of diversity took a central role during the discussions and it will be important it is addressed across all Fellowships' activities. Listed below are different ways how this can be achieved. Third, the discussion pointed to an absence of a vision for the link between social sciences and mental health research and this Fellowship could be an opportunity to gather ideas for this. |

Results and Impact | We have developed a searchable catalogue to help people find information about existing measures of mental health and wellbeing in UK cohort and longitudinal studies. The Catalogue of Mental Health Measures compiles and organises information about mental health measures in over 30 (and counting!) UK cohort and longitudinal studies. It features descriptions of the studies and the measures of mental health and wellbeing they have collected, as well as information about statistical resources and training. The catalogue improves the visibility and accessibility of these measures, making it easier for researchers from across different disciplines to make use of the incredibly rich mental health data currently available in the UK's longitudinal studies. Our new resource will be useful for researchers from across different disciplines and career stages. The Catalogue may be particularly useful for early career researchers utilising data that has already collected and researchers less familiar with the mental health field - but it may also hold some surprises for experienced mental health researchers! This is an interactive session showing some of the features of the Catalogue. Bring your laptop, IPad of mobile phone so you can try it out! Learning points Delegates can expect to take away from this webinar: - Appreciate the value of cohort and longitudinal studies for mental health and wellbeing research; - Discover new data resources and mental health measures; - Learn how to use the Catalogue of Mental Health Measures. |

Our new resource will be useful for researchers from across different disciplines and career stages. The Catalogue may be particularly useful for early career researchers utilising data that has already collected and researchers less familiar with the mental health field - but it may also hold some surprises for experienced mental health researchers! This is an interactive session showing some of the features of the Catalogue. Bring your laptop, IPad of mobile phone so you can try it out! Learning points Delegates can expect to take away from this webinar: - Appreciate the value of cohort and longitudinal studies for mental health and wellbeing research; - Discover new data resources and mental health measures; - Learn how to use the Catalogue of Mental Health Measures |

Results and Impact | We have developed a searchable catalogue to help people find information about existing measures of mental health and wellbeing in UK cohort and longitudinal studies. The Catalogue of Mental Health Measures compiles and organises information about mental health measures in over 30 (and counting!) UK cohort and longitudinal studies. It features descriptions of the studies and the measures of mental health and wellbeing they have collected, as well as information about statistical resources and training. The catalogue improves the visibility and accessibility of these measures, making it easier for researchers from across different disciplines to make use of the incredibly rich mental health data currently available in the UK's longitudinal studies.

Results and Impact | Following from the policy briefing document made in collaboration with the Policy Institute at King's, a workshop was set up with a group of Young Research Advisers at the National Children Bureau, to help shape an animation to be shared with schools, teachers, academics and the general public. The YRA helped to create script for the animation, the style and the content - to ensure that young people, who had experience of the needs and wants of schools, were conducted before launching the animation. |
