Expansion of SPHSU Schools Health Research Networks
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Glasgow
Department Name: UNLISTED
Abstract
The project will lead to further development and regional exemplars of national infrastructure to support health and wellbeing research in schools, new research partnerships through increased membership of the SHINE and SHRN SW networks, and enhanced capacity for data generation and impact within the school system. This platform will be important in facilitating data collection and engagement of young people and the education system in adolescent and school-based health research both for the two Units and the wider MRC and UKRI research community.
Technical Summary
Our objective is to implement and expand two national networks of research active schools (SHINE in Scotland, SHRN in SW England) able to drive forward evidence-based, systems level health improvement through systemised knowledge exchange partnerships and data-driven innovation.

| Impact | The Schools Health and Wellbeing Improvement Research Network (SHINE) online mental health survey was included as a resource for the additional assessment of pupil health and wellbeing in the recently published Scottish Government Framework document Whole School Approach to Mental Health and Wellbeing. The online survey for SHINE member schools (target group P6 to S6) is a comprehensive measure of different aspects of mental health and wellbeing, producing data reports which can be shared across the school community to support health and wellbeing planning and activities within the school. Since March 2020 when the survey was launched, over 76,500 young people's responses have been collected. |

Once refined through a pilot with six schools, the resources have been shared with the full membership of the SHINE Network which is now 610 Scottish schools. The resources have been promoted to schools by the SHINE Network Manager via the SHINE newsletter and in various presentations introducing schools to new audiences as an example of the benefits of SHINE membership. |

The overall ambition is to contribute to better policymaking and thereby to the wellbeing of UK citizens. Through 2021 the IPPO (https://covidandsociety.com/) ran a series of sessions for stakeholders to respond to the mental health impacts of the pandemic on school children. This included discussing the best way forward to support school-aged children with COVID recovery in the summer holidays and the publication of a systematic review on online learning during the pandemic (https://covidandsociety.com/future-online-learning-what-have-we-learned-covid-19-emergency-remote-education-initiatives/).

| Results and Impact | The Schools Health and Wellbeing Improvement Research Network (SHINE) Manager and SHINE team presented the aims, objectives and practical application of the SHINE model to COSLA (Sept 2021) and to various local authority health and wellbeing (HWB) and/or mental HWB leads in Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire, Edinburgh City, Fife, Glasgow City, North Ayrshire, North Lanarkshire, Scottish Borders and West Lothian through 2021/2022 (as one off, monthly or bi-weekly meetings). The intended purpose was to make the local authorities aware of SHINE's work, learn more about the shared HWB agenda with the local authority and provide an opportunity for questions and discussion to support further engagement with SHINE. Each engagement session led to further network contacts to widen the influence of SHINE in each area. As a result of these engagements, Aberdeen City have undertaken to use the SHINE mental health survey with all 60 schools in the local authority as part of a collaborative trial of a local authority SHINE model. Aberdeenshire are currently considering whether to adopt the SHINE local authority model being trialled by their neighbours in Aberdeen City. |

| Results and Impact | The Schools Health and Wellbeing Improvement Research Network (SHINE) offered member schools the opportunity (through the SHINE monthly Newsletter) to pilot the new SHINE Interactive Data Dashboard. The dashboard is intended as a resource for classroom-based learning and to help schools use health and wellbeing data. It currently uses data from the Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children study. Using this interactive tool, schools can: find out what Scottish young people said about their health & wellbeing from 2002 to 2018; look at changes over time; find out what the links are between certain health behaviour and mood, life satisfaction and general health; compare Scottish young people's health with young people's health in 50 other countries. |
