Abstract
For the last decade the ESRC International Centre for Lifecourse Studies in Society and Health (ICLS) has worked to unite approaches from the social and biological sciences. ICLS's work necessitates a multidisciplinary approach- our team includes researchers with expertise in epidemiology, sociology, biology, statistics, psychology, clinical sciences and demography. Our work looks at how the social circumstances in which people live translate into poor health and unfavourable social outcomes across all stages of the lifecourse - 'how life gets under the skin'. ICLS's work aims to improve understanding about the stepping stones from childhood towards a healthy and productive working life and the maintenance of health and wellbeing in the later years.
During the transition phase the core aims of the Centre are:
- to deliver our scientific programme in 4 areas: child and adolescent health and wellbeing; work and retirement; the social-biological interface; and translational research
- to maximise the impact of the Centre's programme of research
- to build capacity in the quantitative analysis of longitudinal data, and in the communication of findings
Emphasis is given to maximising the impact of our research, past and future, and to fostering impact readiness amongst ICLS researchers.
ICLS has three key strategic priorities;
- to build capacity in the analysis of quantitative longitudinal datasets;
- to bridge the social and biological sciences;
- to extend our international reach.
The UK is renowned for its wealth of studies that collect information on large numbers of people from birth and throughout their lives. However, there continues to be a shortage of scientists with the requisite skills to analyse these complex data. A priority for ICLS continues to be building capacity in this area. We know that the contexts in which people live gets under the skin, but little is known about how this happens - how do social circumstances get into the cells and molecules to cause disease and early death? Our approach helps to develop ideas on how best to combine information collected in longitudinal studies, on social circumstances, psychological characteristics and biological profiles in ways that are theoretically plausible from both social and biological perspectives.
The scientific programme proposed during the transition phase builds on previous ICLS work and is organized around four streams of research.
- Child and adolescent health and wellbeing - here the focus is on the pathways to good health and educational achievements from birth through to adolescence
- Work and retirement - where the health consequences of changing roles of men and women in relation to paid and unpaid work are examined, as are the health consequences of working in 'poor quality' jobs
- The social-biological interface - informing the debate on the utility of using biodata to address questions of interest to the social sciences e.g. does using genetic information add to our understanding of causal relationships?
- Translational elements of ICLS's research - exploring how ICLS's work could be incorporated into interventions and trials.
ICLS's impact activities will build on and extend the successful work undertaken to date which has focused on: i) identifying potential beneficiaries; ii) sharing our research plans and our findings using a range of on and offline platforms; and iii) building relationships and working with groups and individuals to maximise the potential of our work to have impact. In the transition phase, we expect earlier, current and new work to impact even more directly on policy and practice. We expect our policy evidence on good quality jobs to have both economic and societal impact, creating a healthier and more resilient workforce and reducing social inequalities.

Planned Impact
Our impact activities will build on and extend the successful work undertaken to date which has focused on: i) identifying potential beneficiaries; ii) sharing our research plans and our findings using a range of on and offline platforms; and iii) building relationships and working with groups and individuals to co-produce knowledge and maximise the potential of our work to have impact. In the transition phase, we anticipate that the work done to date and the work we plan to do will have even more of a direct influence on policy and practice. We expect our research to have economic impact using our evidence for policy around good quality jobs; and to have societal impact as evidence from our work is used to reduce social inequalities and to help individuals be healthier and more resilient. Impact will be achieved via numerous channels.
Our findings will reach audiences through published journal articles, invited talks and keynote addresses, blogs and social media. Our well-established blogs, Child of our Time and WorkLife and their associated Twitter accounts, will continue to be used as vehicles to share our research findings. We plan to create an online resource (animated slideshow or short film) to explain our unique brand of science and how our physical/biological lives intertwine and interact with our social circumstances.
Much of the research we have undertaken and plan to develop further is highly policy relevant. This provides numerous opportunities to engage with and influence policy makers and the policies they propose and implement. We will build on our excellent track record of contributing to policy through the membership of a range of working groups and committees and delivery of invited talks to Government Departments. We will contribute to calls from Select Committees and for POST briefings. ICLS researchers will engage proactively in relationships and activities that will increase the impact of the Centre's work in policy circles.
Our deliberate approach of creating accessible blogs has paid dividends, helping us engage directly via social media with groups and individuals who can benefit from the work. We have a considerable following on our child health and development blog, Child of our Time, and our WorkLife blog is also expanding its reach.
We will continue working directly with third sector organisations in advisory capacities and will seek to further develop co-productive collaborations. During the transition phase, the work undertaken with groups such as Mentor UK, National Literacy Trust, and the Trade Union Congress will be developed and published, providing excellent opportunities to disseminate findings and engage further with other potential beneficiaries e.g. other groups working with young people around alcohol and drugs, Departments of Health and Education, libraries, the Children's Commissioner, and employees and the self-employed with new types of employment contracts and relations.
Through continued proactive engagement with the media (on and offline) and the setting of our research to meet current policy/practice concerns, we will continue to make a positive contribution to many important topical societal debates. These include: childhood obesity; young people and alcohol; the importance of reading in helping children do better in life; poor quality work; and how we better understand poor mental health across the lifecourse, its causes and consequences. Through targeted media activities such as with health and education correspondents, the Big Issue's #WhyBooksMatter campaign and the Guardian's Inequality Project, we will identify journalists interested in using and sharing research evidence and findings to illustrate their writing/broadcasting, thereby generating quality media coverage of our research that will educate and inform the non-academic audiences we are seeking to engage and influence.

| Description | For the last 15 years the International Centre for Lifecourse Studies in Society and Health (ICLS) has been at the forefront of lifecourse research bridging the social and biological sciences. ICLS's success has been achieved through a well-managed governance structure and wide range of scientific and impact activities with the Director(s) and Management Group taking on distinct responsibilities in the running of the Centre. Leadership is provided by Professor Yvonne Kelly as Director and Professor Anne McMunn as Deputy Director, these arrangements ensuring the continued smooth running of ICLS. ICLS's position as a Centre of research excellence and high impact will be sustained throughout the legacy phase. Achievements to date: ICLS's multidisciplinary make-up, structure and management has meant that the sum of our research and impact activities have been greater than would have been the case if the research were funded through individual research grants. Synergy has been facilitated via the themed structure of our research programme and Centre activities including Centre Days, seminars, training early career researchers, hosting academic visitors, policy oriented and non-HEI partner events, invited talks and acting in advisory roles for non-HEI organisations. Centre Days and seminar series throughout the lifetime of ICLS have allowed the free exchange of ideas and development of research collaborations. ICLS's international networks have further expanded, having hosted 25 visiting academic fellows and students. Through a range of capacity building activities ICLS has produced a cadre of high calibre early career researchers, training 10 core funded (and 35 affiliated) PhD students. Success among our postdoctoral researchers, of which we have trained dozens, is exemplified through them winning highly competitive grants including SDAI and New Investigator Grants, in addition to funding from NIHR, Nuffield Foundation, and the MRC. Hosting policy oriented events has enabled the showcasing of Centre work drawn from across our research themes to governmental (policy makers and analysts from national and local government departments with remits on health, education, work and business), and non-governmental stakeholders including charities, voluntary organisations and think tanks. ICLS members are regularly invited to present findings to government departments and parliamentary groups (national and European) and contribute to government reports thereby influencing policy. We have developed working relationships with charities and think tanks and contribute expertise to their advisory groups, e.g. on poverty and inequality, work and employment, gender equality, social care reforms, literacy, obesity, mental health and alcohol. The forging of connections with users of our research has led to the coproduction of research with a wide range of non-HEI partners. |

| Description | ICLS Transition funding During the transition funding phase, ICLS research has continued to have impact more directly than ever beyond academia. This has been achieved in particular in the areas of policy and practice, where findings have been used to increase the effectiveness of public services and policy and to improve people's quality of life health and wellbeing and morbidity. The Centre has made useful contributions to our understanding of the impact of COVID19 and hopes to create an even greater legacy and impact through a new proposed ESRC Centre aimed at eradicating health inequalities. Below are some examples of how and where ICLS research is providing evidence on many of the important issues of the day, influencing debates and attitudes and benefiting policymakers, practitioners, charities and the wider public. The examples are we believe a testament to our commitment and proactive work to engage, collaborate and forge strong relationships for ongoing and future impact. Findings from the Looked After Children Grown Up Project led by Amanda Sacker have directly informed the Government's children's social care strategy (Feb 2023) following recommendations made by Josh MacAlister in his Independent Review of Children's Social Care. The research featured in the review's initial report Case for Change as evidence to support arguments for "unlocking the potential of family networks." Macalister himself said: "the work of the UCL team on this research provided such important evidence to the [Review] and its recommendations." In response to the report, the UK Government pledged an official response and implementation strategy by the end of 2022. After participating in a webinar about the research, Mr MacAlister went on to give evidence to an Education Select Committee evince hearing on Care Leavers where he described the research as 'Groundbreaking work looking at the lifelong impacts of a period in care and the impacts on mortality rates for care experienced people differentiating between the type of care that young people are in and how long they live'. UK Statistician Sir Ian Diamond, who chaired the webinar and roundtable event on the research findings, also praised the 'painstaking' research and has called for more frequent data at a higher level of granularity to help improve the outcomes for care-experienced people. He has also made a personal commitment to work across the statistical system to drive the work forward. The project has attracted extensive third sector, policy and media attention and led to collaborations and co-production of resources for family law and public sector practitioners with leading third sector organisations including care leaver charities. Paul McGrath, Policy and Practice Advisor¸Kinship described the research as "really valuable"and said it was being used "in strengthening our policy papers." There have been direct engagements with the Social Mobility Commission and health and family justice practitioners. The research received special recognition in the 2020 and 2021 ONS Research Excellence Awards. Findings have been presented to practitioners CORAM Adoption and Fostering Conference. The secretariat of the APPG for adoption and fostering was briefed on the findings and their implications and a response to a call for evidence from the APPG for Looked After Children and Care Leavers' Spotlight Inquiry was also submitted. A policy brief informed by the research and round table discussion attended by care leavers, a social mobility commissioner, care leaver charity Director and member of the DHSC/DWP Joint unit was produced and widely disseminated to further raise awareness of the huge inequalities faced by people who have to spend some or all of their childhood in residential, foster or kinship care and lead to future impact. The Government's strategy proposes more support for kinship care arrangements in line with the recommendations. Josh MacAlister has said that the strategy sets us on the right path but says more needs to be done if, as the research shows, children's outcomes are not to remain "stubbornly poor". In 2019 Scotland became the 60th country in the world and the first in the UK to make it illegal to physically punish a child under the age of 16. This change in the law was made as a direct result of an evidence review produced by UCL researchers including ICLS Director Yvonne Kelly on the damage that the physical punishment of children does to their physical and mental wellbeing. The review, commissioned by three charities in Scotland was used as the basis of the proposed Children (Equal Protection from Assault) Bill in Scotland. The Bill led to the removal of the defence of "reasonable chastisement" which could be used to justify using physical force on a child. Wales followed suit with a ban on smacking introduced in 2022. A major follow-up programme of research on Adverse Childhood Experiences has shown strong links between being smacked as a child and mental health problems as a teenager, and has added weight to calls for England and Northern Ireland to do the same after Wales followed Scotland's lead and made the physical punishment of children illegal in 2022. In 2021, The Lancet, itself part of a global commission seeking to develop foundations for a new global movement for child health that positions children at the centre of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), commissioned an even more detailed review of the evidence of this area from an international team including Professor Kelly. The review provided more robust evidence on the harms of physical punishment and produced a set of clear recommendations for policymakers, practitioners and parents around the need to stop hitting children and to afford them legal protection. The research received extensive high profile media coverage, led to the Home Secretary describing the smacking of children as "appalling and incomprehensible" and led to further calls from charities including the NSPCC and Barnardos for immediate and urgent changes to the laws in England and Northern Ireland to reflect the research findings. A major new programme of research on the physical punishment of children was funded by the Nuffield Foundation in November 2022 with Prof Kelly and Dr Lacey as co-Investigators. An ICLS programme of work around Adverse Childhood Experiences has led to extensive engagement with policy makers, health practitioners, third sector organisations and a collaboration with a Government What Works Centre, the Early Intervention Foundation, which based much of its 2020 report Adverse childhood experiences: what we know, what we don't know and what should happen next on an evidence review from the programme. Rebecca Lacey was also nominated by the 20,0000-strong practitioner network Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health (ACAMH) for a Rising Star Award for her work in this area and has been invited to be a founding member of a new group on ACEs. An event attracted policymakers from England, Scotland and Wales and has led to further engagement around the crucial topic of how ACEs are used in policy and practice interventions. In December 2020 the Government announced the UK was leading the way in 'a new age of accountability for social media'. Specifically, it has said that tech companies will need to do far more to protect children from harmful content or activity including things like bullying. ICLS work looking at the impacts of screen time and social media use on wellbeing and depression in children and young people fed into major inquiries leading to this policy development. An All Party Parliamentary Group report featured findings and recommendations from the research, specifically on the importance of robust longitudinal research in identifying those most at risk, on the need to look closely at both the content and context of social media use and for better data on reasons for stopping/changing patterns of use. Recommendations from the inquiry based on ICLS evidence included a call on the Government to prioritise the funding of further longitudinal research as a matter of urgency and to update legislation that would oblige social media companies to make data available to researchers. Referring directly to evidence from Professor Yvonne Kelly, the report recommended that PSHE education specifically on the benefits and harms of social media rather than broader screen time is made mandatory for primary and secondary school children in order to support digital resilience. Recommendations from the research on introducing time limits on websites and applications where users can create and share content were also taken on board with the APPG proposing a 2 hours per day limit for those aged 24 and younger. The research was used to brief the UK's Chief Medical Officers and 40 invited representatives from third sector groups and the education and health sectors. Findings, specifically those linking longer periods of social media use with depression and outlining the most influential pathways between the two, were featured in the subsequent commentary from the Chief Medical Officer for England (CMO). Recommendations from the research on the importance of enough, good quality sleep also featured in the CMO's guidance for parents and carers. The research has been a major feature in public health (#ScrollFreeSeptember, Royal Society for Public Health) and media campaigns (Duty of Care, The Telegraph) aimed at raising public awareness around the potential pitfalls associated with heavy social media use, encourage people to reflect on their social media use and to lobby for changes to legislation. This continuing programme of work is making it possible for future generations to enjoy the full benefits of the internet with better protections in place to reduce the risk of harm. Work on the links between heavy social media use and binge-drinking in adolescents not only generated widespread media coverage, it was picked up immediately in a House of Lords debate on the Commission on Alcohol Harm 2020 debate which went on to recommend a 'science-led alcohol strategy'. In 2022 Professor Kelly was part of an interdisciplinary team of world-leading researchers to secure UKRI funding for Digital Minds, a project seeking to understand the complex risks and opportunities for mental health associated with young people's engagement with the digital world with the aim of generating new preventative and therapeutic interventions. Preventing a reversal of the trend towards gender equality ICLS research on the burden of caring during the first COVID-19 lockdown of 2020 fed into a series of recommendations to the Government from the Women's Budget Group for actions in 2021 and led to ICLS Deputy Director Anne McMunn becoming an adviser to the WBG's policy advisory committee. Engagement with the charity around this research was so positive in 2020 that WBG agreed to be a key partner in ICLS's 2020 ESRC Centre proposal. The research was also used in evidence to the All Party Parliamentary Group on Women and Work's inquiry on the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on women in the workplace. New policy initiatives around the Good Work Standards and Work as a Health outcome ICLS research on work, stress and wellbeing has shaped public policies on employment, contributing to the evidence base for European Union (EU) legislation to improve the precarious working conditions of EU employees, and to the new "Good Work Standards" adopted by UK national and local governments. In addition, it has been used by Trade Union and Living Wage campaigns to improve the working conditions of low wage and precarious workers in the UK. The research by ICLS co-I Tarani Chandola was cited in the 2018 Annual Report of the UK Chief Medical Officer who was concerned that "the rise of precarious, poor quality work has created the extraordinary situation where being in poor quality work has been associated with higher levels of allostatic load than peers who remained unemployed". Chandola was invited by Public Health England to participate in policy discussions led by PHE and the UK Departments of Work and Pensions and Health and Social Care around the "work as a health outcome" programme. This resulted in the 2019 Healthcare Professionals' Consensus Statement on Health and Work, agreed by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, the Royal College of Nursing and the Allied Health Professions Federation. ICLS's contributions to these discussions emphasised the importance of good work, not just any work, in the policy statement. The research was also cited in London Mayor's policies, including the Health Inequalities strategy document, the Mayor's Good Work Standard and the Evidence Base for London's Local Industrial Strategy. These strategies led to the development of the London Healthy Workplace Award, an accreditation scheme to help employers create healthier workplaces. This research has also been used by campaigners for improved job quality (such as the Living Wage Foundation) as evidence of how stressful jobs impact on the health of workers and the need for employers to increase wages to prevent negative health impacts. The Health Foundation, the second-largest endowed foundation in the UK focusing on health, used the research to "shift the debate on health" in their report on the wider determinants of health. Securing the future of the free bus pass ICLS research on the health benefits to older people of concessionary travel featured in an evaluation of the impacts of the free bus pass which led to its future being secured. The evaluation was commissioned by the Department for Transport following suggestions that the bus pass should be scrapped to save money. In 2018, the evaluation led to an announcement from the Government that disabled and older people in England would continue to benefit from free bus travel for the foreseeable future. Legislation behind the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme was also amended so that it no longer needs to be reviewed every five years. Emily Murray's Health in Older People in Places project (HOPE), has used data from the ONS Longitudinal Study to show a clear link between levels of employment and health in a place and demonstrated the importance of the UK Government's levelling up agenda. This important research, which has been disseminated widely to policymakers through a close collaboration with the International Longevity Centre UK and funders the Health Foundation, has produced a set of clear recommendations for national and local Government to support efforts to increase healthy life expectancy and to narrow the gap between those in the 'healthiest' and 'unhealthiest' areas. The findings were launched at a policy event attended by Lord James Bethell, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department of Health and Social Care. Social relationships and ageing collaboration An innovative international collaboration between ICLS, the University of Tokyo and the Centre for Performance Science has compared social and cultural participation in ageing nations (the UK and Japan) in an effort to provide evidence on ageing healthily and happily. As well as engaging more than 100 early career researchers in the UK and Japan around the comparative methods for this type of research, the project team, led by Noriko Cable, has shared important lessons around social isolation and health outcomes with policymakers and third sector groups through its partnership with the International Longevity Centre UK. Autism research adds weight to calls for movement on national strategy ICLS researchers have developed a body of work on autism that has added impetus to calls for a long-promised Government review aimed at improving the lives of autistic children. The research, led by visiting researcher Mariko Hosozawa, provided clear evidence of the need for early diagnosis to enable more timely interventions and support for calls from the National Autistic Society and others for the Government to press ahead with its commitment more than a decade ago to develop a strategy for improving services for autistic adults, underpinned by legally binding guidance to councils. ICLS' Swedish team has also produced further evidence that hypertensive diseases of pregnancy are associated with an increased risk of autistic spectrum disorders and possibly ADHD in children, but not a reduction in general cognitive function without these conditions, suggesting that intrauterine processes are involved in the aetiology of these diseases (or a subset). Body of evidence on the causes of Multiple Sclerosis A programme of research led by Swedish co-I Scott Montgomery has clearly identified adolescence as an age-defined period of susceptibility and pointed to a range of environmental exposures and personal characteristics that may have a role in initiating Multiple Sclerosis disease activity. Research led by Swedish co-I Scott Montgomery provides further evidence for campaigns such as the NHS start 4 life which supports mothers-to-be who want to give up smoking. The research confirms that maternal smoking during pregnancy is a risk for poorer bone health in babies, but that it is limited to the first year of life due to mineralisation of bones as the baby grows. The higher risk of broken bones after the first year is due to familial confounding (BMJ). |

| Impact | Research fed through to this report via the APPG call for evidence - Yvonne Kelly provided oral evidence and had a number of meetings with the RSPH CEO and colleagues to discuss. See email below detains contribution through evidence and in the report/trecommendations Professor Yvonne Kelly, Director ESRC International Centre for Lifecourse Studies in Society and Health, University College London, told the inquiry: "Robust longitudinal research can help to identify who is at risk with the right kinds of data we can look back at what has gone before in people's lives to get a handle on what is happening to them now. To improve understanding of positives as well as negatives we need to have repeated measurements of both their mental health as well as their social media use - as both can and do change. Very useful would be having data on reasons for stopping/changing patterns of use. Also, better data on content and context - what is being consumed (e.g. experiences of online harassment vs positive social connections and self-expression) and what if anything does it displace." Professor Kelly further advocated ideal data sources would be a combination of extant longitudinal study resources in combination with data held by social media companies. The APPG recommends that the UK Government prioritises investment into further research to understand the impact of social media on young people's mental health and wellbeing, and does so as a matter of urgency. In addition, the APPG calls for all social media companies to make any all data, including data that is currently anonymised, available to researchers. It is recommended that legislation is updated to ensure that this data is available. The APPG recommends further research is prioritised into the following areas: - Whether the relationship between social media and mental health problems is one of cause or correlation. - The extent to which the impact of social media varies across different demographics. - Longitudinal research into understanding the impact of social media on young people's mental health and wellbeing. - Defining which design aspects of social media platforms are inherently detrimental to young people's mental health and wellbeing. - Understanding what content is generating helpful or supportive conversations and what content risks being harmful. I have also included: As identified by Professor Yvonne Kelly to the Inquiry, "Looking at a global measure of 'screen time' likely obscures important differential effects for each kind of screen use." Therefore, the APPG recommends that Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education is made mandatory for primary and secondary school children in the next parliamentary session and that the PSHE curriculum adequately delivers understanding of the harms and benefits specifically of social media to support digital resilience. And following discussions with the APPG Members, we will be recommending: In the absence further robust longitudinal research and data, taking a precautionary approach, the APPG recommends the Government urgently issues guidance that recommends that social media use, that is use of "websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking", is limited to 2 hours per day for those aged 24 and younger. |

| Results and Impact | Sometimes bad things happen to children: they may suffer or witness abuse or violence, have parents with mental health or substance misuse problems, or struggle emotionally when their parents separate or divorce. Policymakers, practitioners and researchers are striving to better understand and act on evidence on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their impact on the lives of children as they grow up. A team at University College London has been questioning the way in which so-called ACE scores are used and at this invitation-only event presented important new findings from their research and invited questions and feedback on it from policymakers and practitioners interested in this area. |

| Results and Impact | The long-term effects of childhood trauma have been subject to increased scrutiny by policymakers, practitioners and researchers as a growing body of evidence has drawn the links with mental health issues and other problems later on in people's lives. In 2018, Rebecca Lacey from UCL's ESRC International Centre for Lifecourse Studies wrote for our blog about her programme of research on how these early adversities (ACEs) can be linked to increased risk of health conditions over the lifecourse. More recently she and colleagues demonstrated the importance of early intervention to prevent depression linked to childhood traumas. Now Alexis Karamanos from Kings College London and colleagues, including Rebecca Lacey, have shed new light on the issue with a study on links between these traumas and teenage drug use. Here they discuss the research and its implications. |

| Results and Impact | In 2020, 8.4 million people of working age (16-64) reported that they were disabled which is 20% of the working age population. 52 percent of disabled people aged 16-64 were in work compared with 81 percent of non-disabled people. It's a gap the Department for Work and Pensions wants to tackle, but good research for evidence-based policy solutions in this area is thin on the ground. Tarani Chandola and Patrick Rouxel blog about new research that suggests that 'workplace accommodations' such as flexible or part-time working, mentorship and training and support could help the Government achieve its 10 year ambition to halve the disability employment gap. |

| Results and Impact | People who identify as gay or bisexual have long been known to be more likely than others to be at risk from behaviour which can affect their health, such as drug-taking, drinking and not doing enough exercise. But how does this affect today's teenagers? In an era of greater social liberalism might these differences be disappearing? Professor Yvonne Kelly and Dr Cara Booker discuss new research which sheds light on the issue. Mental health, social adversity, and health-related outcomes in sexual minority adolescents: a contemporary national cohort study, by Rebekah Amos, Eric Julian Manalastas, Ross White, Henny Bos and Praveetha Patalay, was published in Lancet Child Adolescent Health 2020; 4: 36-45 https://doi.org/10.1016/ S2352-4642(19)30339-6 Sexual orientation health inequality: Evidence from Understanding Society, the United Kingdom Household Longitudinal Study, by Cara L Booker, Gerulf Rieger and Jennifer B Unger, was published in Preventive Medicine 101, 2017, 126-132. |

I explained to civil servants from the three most relevant government departments my concerns about several possible unintended consequences of raising the State Pension Age and my suggestions about how to mitigate these. The civil servants listened with interest, asked thoughtful questions and seemed to accept the points I was making (I suspect they judged the issues as too long-term to require immediate action). |

| Results and Impact | In a Child of our Time blog last year, a team of researchers from University College and Kings College London said it was time for ALL policy to consider the needs of care leavers. The call was based on research findings that have now fed into the just-published Independent Review of Children's Social Care. The findings from the Nuffield Foundation funded Looked After Children Grown Up project have played a key part in providing evidence to the review - and have been reflected in its report and the Government's response. Professor Amanda Sacker, who led the project, reflects on the research, the report and the Government's response and the implications for those who have spent, are spending and will spend time as a child in care. |

The study used data on more than 350,000 people, including some 5,700 who spent time in care as children, to examine their health and social outcomes in adulthood. In this online webinar, chaired by UK statistician Sir Ian Diamond, Professor Amanda Sacker and Dr Emily Murray presented key findings from the project and discussed their implications for policy and practice. Following the presentation from the research team, we heard from Victoria Langer, Interim CEO at Become, Professor Ingrid Schoon, University College London, and Josh MacAlister, Chair of the Government's Independent Review of Children's Social Care. The Independent Review recently published its Case for Change, which is aimed at all those interested in the development of evidence-based policy to improve the lives of children who are unable to live with their parents. |

| Results and Impact | More than 2.3 million people around the world have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and the large majority of those are over the age of 20. MS is not contagious but some inherited genetic characteristics influence risk of developing the disease. There is evidence that things going on in people's lives and bodies when they are younger could influence the likelihood of them being diagnosed with this chronic and unpredictable disease of the central nervous system. Professor Scott Montgomery has spent two decades researching some of the possible causes and consequences of MS. Here he shares some of his latest findings including a new study showing that glandular fever really is a risk factor for subsequent MS. |

| Results and Impact | Extending people's working lives has become a well-established policy in many parts of Europe as governments seek to reduce state pension costs in the context of growing ageing populations. But there are concerns about the health of older workers and what poor health among workers might mean for sickness absence rates and social security costs. New research looking at working longer and sickness absence rates suggests that it might be possible to raise the retirement age without increasing sickness absence rates and social security costs unduly, but the researchers also raise concerns about widening health and social inequalities. Authors of the research Kristin Farrants and Kristina Alexanderson from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and Jenny Head at University College London outline their findings. |

| Results and Impact | Article in Multiple Sclerosis Today featuring ICLS research on MS. People with progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) and those with greater MS-related disability have a significantly greater risk of serious infections relative to people without the disease, according to a population-based study in Sweden.Notably, these associations were observed regardless of the use of disease-modifying therapies, many of which work by suppressing the immune system and thereby increase the risk of infections.The findings suggest that these disease-specific markers, particularly disability -readily assessed with the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) - may be used to identify at-risk patients who might benefit from mitigation strategies to prevent serious infections, the researchers noted.The study, "Risk of serious infections in multiple sclerosis patients by disease course and disability status: Results from a Swedish register-based study," was published in the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity - Health. |

| Results and Impact | Successive governments have legislated for increases to the State Pension Age (SPA) as a way to reduce the fiscal impact of an ageing population. Such increases, however, do not happen in a vacuum, and there will be significant implications from a blanket policy encouraging people to stay in work longer. Early exit from the workforce remains an issue in the UK, and the support necessary to help people stay in work up to SPA will have to be extended to a larger pool of people with increases to SPA. Speakers included: Prof Melanie Bartley, Professor Emerita, University College London Professor David Blane, Professor Emeritus, Imperial College London Dr Claire Mawditt, Research Fellow, Canon Foundation Europe Dr Jessica Sheringham, Honorary Consultant in Public Health, Public Health England |

| Results and Impact | Tim Brighouse's nine ways to minimise exclusionst's right to be concerned about mental health and wellbeing, especially when it comes to our pupils. Not a day passes without reminders in newspapers, radio and TV news and online (within two days last week there was a leader, a journal piece and a front-page report on Yvonne Kelly's UCL research on teenage mental health). If it were the flu we would call it a pandemic. So, what's to do? Each day there are three powerful influences affecting the mental health of our youngsters: their families and guardians; their schools and colleges; and social media - a recent and powerful newcomer to the challenges of navigating childhood and adolescence successfully. |

| Results and Impact | There has long been evidence of the stark health inequalities faced by ethnic minority people in England and elsewhere. Despite this, there has been no significant change. One major area of concern is around pregnant and new mothers, in particular where discriminatory or racist treatment can affect their mental and physical health as well as the development of their children. Research from our Centre featured on this blog has already shown that racism towards mothers can have deep-seated and long-lasting negative effects. Now a recent review of ethnic inequalities in healthcare and within the NHS workforce has raised a number of key concerns about the care provided to mothers and babies from ethnic minority backgrounds. The report's authors Dr Dharmi Kapadia (Centre on Dynamics of Ethnicity (CoDE), University of Manchester) and Professor Sarah Salway (University of Sheffield) discuss the findings in this blog. |

| Results and Impact | There has been increased focus in recent years on the mechanisms which link early childhood trauma with poorer health outcomes later in life. In 2018, Rebecca Lacey from UCL's ESRC International Centre for Lifecourse Studies led a major project looking into how such early adversities (ACEs) can be linked to increased risk of health conditions such as mental health concerns over the lifecourse. Now in a new paper, Eleanora Iob and colleagues, including Rebecca Lacey, have been looking at the extent to which early adversities and inflammatory markers in the blood are related to the risk of depression in early adulthood. Here they outline their findings and consider their implications. |

So how do unsocial working hours affect parents? Afshin Zilanawala from the University of Southampton and Anne McMunn from the ESRC International Centre for Lifecourse Studies at University College London discuss research which finds shift work, that is working non standard schedules (nights, evenings, weekends), can impact negatively on fathers' mental health - though it also enables them to spend more time parenting. |

The researchers expressed concerns over the reversal of pre-pandemic trends towards a more gender equal society and supported calls from the Women's Budget Group for a care-led recovery. Now a team of researchers from the University of Bristol-led Equal Lives project has gone on to look at the way domestic work was shared during and after lockdown in 2020. Susan Harkness from the University of Bristol and Aleja Rodriguez Sanchez from Humboldt University in Berlin explain what they found and the implications for this hard-hit group. |

| Results and Impact | Care systems in many countries are underpinned by the efforts of huge armies of informal carers, many of whom are children. And while there is official recognition in some countries that these young carers suffer poorer health than their peers, there have been few studies highlighting the particular effects of caring on this group. Rebecca Lacey, Anne McMunn and Baowen Xue at UCL's Department of Epidemiology and Public Health reviewed the evidence and uncovered an urgent need for more research on the issue. |
