Neighbourhoods and Communities

Abstract
We are trying to find out what it is about where people live that influences their health and ability to lead a healthy life. Knowing more about what matters and whether it matters more for some people compared to others, for example those living in deprived areas compared to more affluent neighbourhoods, men or women, adults or children, means that we will have valuable information for policy makers to plan services that can make a difference to people’s health and daily lives. We are particularly interested in how children’s environments might influence how physically active they are, as this is associated with the likelihood of them being overweight and there is little knowledge on how the local environment impacts on this. To research this we are asking over 1500 10 year old children across Scotland to wear a device (Actigraph) to measure their physical activity and another device (Geographical Positioning System (GPS)) to detect the places they are most active over one week. This is a unique study which will shed light on the ways in which children use their local neighbourhood and which aspects e.g. greenspace, impact on their physical activity, thereby providing useful evidence for planning services.
Technical Summary
Aims and objectives
Interest in neighbourhood-level influences on health has burgeoned with research showing that although ‘who you are’ explains much geographical variation in health outcomes, there is also an effect of ‘where you are’. Neighbourhoods are also an important site for health improvement efforts, and population health monitoring. Although policy makers recognise that people’s health, wellbeing and resilience is affected by the quality of their environments, including the availability of green and open spaces, transport, housing, access to good quality food and social isolation, finding levers to bring about health improvement by changing neighbourhoods remains a significant research challenge.
The aim of this programme is to further our understanding of the ways in which aspects of the local social and physical environment interact to influence health and the ability to lead a healthy life.
Research plan and methodology
The programme addresses two main research themes:
1. Living in deprived neighbourhoods is associated with poor health and life chances and there is an expectation that improvement to housing and neighbourhood conditions will improve health, however the evidence base to date is weak. Through face-to-face surveys and drawing on a range of existing data on levels of amenities and facilities in local neighbourhoods, we will investigate how area regeneration and housing investment affect individual and household health and wellbeing and explore the processes that support cohesive, sustainable communities. Although focused on regeneration in Glasgow, the aim is to produce findings that are transferable to other regeneration settings.
2. There is growing interest, and increasing policy attention, in the role of the neighbourhood context in determining the health and life chances of children and adolescents. Most studies to date have been conducted outside the UK, limiting their usefulness for policy development here. We propose to explore neighbourhood and community influences on a range of children and young people’s health and behaviours, with a particular focus on gathering objective measurements of physical activity (using accelerometry) and their location (using Global Positioning Systems) as well as developmental and behavioural outcomes. Moreover, although much attention is given to urban neighbourhoods, there have been calls to develop a better understanding of the differences between urban and rural life today and their importance to health, particularly among children and young people and identify the potential policy levers which could be tailored for different groups and contexts.
Through our work on these two themes we will apply the knowledge gained to develop and evaluate interventions in collaboration with policy, practice and community stakeholders.

| Impact | Paths for All is a charity which champion everyday walking as the way to a happier, healthier Scotland. Its aim is to significantly increase the number of people who choose to walk in Scotland - whether that's leisure walking or active-choice walking to work, school or shops. It works to develop more opportunities and better environments not just for walking, but also for cycling and other activities. As a board member, with special responsibility for health and health inequalities, it is my role to influence and guide the activities of the charity based on best evidence. PFA is very successful and is used as key delivery mechanism for improving physical activity levels by the Scottish Government. In 2016-17 for example, 4960 new walkers joined one of the local groups we run, 1,261 walk leaders were trained and there were 371,595 health walk attendances. This is a role in which I can directly transfer research evidence to practice. |

| Title | Changes in the frequency, experiences and barriers to green space use in the United Kingdom during the COVID-19 pandemic (November 2020 follow-up) |
| Description | The aim of the survey was to be able to explore how the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions/'lockdown' were impacting the UK population's visits to green space in November 2020 compared to data collected during the initial 'stay at home' phase of restrictions in April/May 2020 (http://dx.doi.org/10.5525/gla.researchdata.1038). The survey was conducted using an online interview administered to members of the YouGov Plc UK panel of 800,000+ individuals who agreed to take part in surveys. The survey was completed between 25th - 26th November 2020, with a nationally representative sample of 2,246 respondents. In the survey, respondents were asked about their frequency of green space visits, as well as their experiences within green space and barriers to visiting green space during the current stage of the pandemic and restrictions. Questions on garden access, pet ownership, household size, urban/rural status and long-standing illnesses/health conditions were also included. Demographic data was provided by YouGov (including sex, age, geographic region, ethnicity, social grade, marital status, working status, the number of children in household, government region and social media usage). Please note: The data in this record is under embargo until October 2023. |

| Title | Changes in the frequency, experiences and barriers to green space use in the United Kingdom following restrictions on movement during the COVID-19 pandemic |
| Description | The aim of the survey was to explore how the restrictions on movement were impacting the UK population's visits to green space, and how these behaviours differed between population groups (e.g. by ethnicity, age, and health status). The survey was conducted using an online interview administered to members of the YouGov Plc UK panel of 800,000+ individuals who agreed to take part in surveys. The survey was completed between 30th April to 1st May 2020, with a nationally representative sample of 2,252 respondents. In the survey, respondents were asked about how their frequency of green space visits changed following restrictions on movement, as well as whether experiences and barriers to use changed. Questions on garden access, pet ownership, household size, urban/rural status and long-standing illnesses/health conditions were also included. Demographic data was provided by YouGov (including sex, age, geographic region, ethnicity, social grade, marital status, working status, the number of children in household, government region and social media usage). |

| Title | Covid-19: Agent-based model of pandemic progression and effectiveness of mitigation strategies (Stefano Picascia) |
| Description | Covid-19: Agent-based model of pandemic progression and effectiveness of mitigation strategies. A multi-layer network agent-based model of the progression of the COVID19 infection and its mitigations: lockdowns, social distancing, contact tracing, massive testing. |
| Type Of Material | Computer model/algorithm |
| Year Produced | 2020 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | he model is designed to test and appreciate the difference in infections and casualties with and without social distancing/lockdown measures and, more importantly, to test the effectiveness of infection mitigation strategies such as large scale testing and contact tracing apps. Specifically, the complex interaction between the availability of testing and different levels of app adoption can be usefully explored with this model. The model also shows that, when we assume that the viral transmission runs predominantly through one's social network, the dynamic of the infection is different from that emerging under the assumption of most SEIR models of an equal probability of everyone infecting everyone else. |
