Abstract
We know that many factors influence health and health inequalities and the work of this Unit covers social, economic, environmental and cultural determinants of health. This programme is designed to look across this and the multiple interdependent factors at play.
We want to provide leadership on the development of new research methods to evaluate programmes that aim to improve health and reduce inequalities in health, and we want to identify how and why programme effectiveness may vary. This is important since decision makers and those designing services need to understand where to target effort and investment.
It’s imperative that we can identify what works, for whom, under what circumstances and why; this is the focus of our work in this programme. We will prioritise evaluations of interventions that tackle obesity and alcohol use; use new technology; or target health behaviour among those with serious mental illness. There also needs to be a better understanding of whether specific interventions and programmes can be transferred to different settings, target groups, or the problem to be addressed, without losing their effectiveness. To do this we will need to identify what elements make it possible for a programme to be modified in order to work or indeed which elements means transferability may not be effective. We will further develop and apply methods to understand and simulate how multiple interdependent factors come together in complex adaptive systems that generate heath inequalities and are resistant to change. This will include a focus on social networks and on drinking behaviour.
Staff training, developing advanced courses, and leading collaborative networks of fellow researchers will be delivered in order to improve our professional capacity to develop and evaluate complex public health programmes and understand complex systems.

Technical Summary
Aims and objectives
We aim to lead international efforts in the application of novel methods to: (1) identify the most effective means to improve population health and reduce inequalities; and (2) understand how effectiveness might vary across contexts.
We have four objectives:
1. To improve processes and methods to rigorously develop and evaluate theoretically-based complex public health interventions, to routinely incorporate evaluability assessment into the development stages of major new policy programmes, and ensure that evaluations identify what works, for whom, under what circumstances and why.
2. To formulate general principles about the transferability of interventions, by identifying: which aspects of setting, target group or problem have insignificant impact on effectiveness, which can be addressed through intervention adaptation without loss of effectiveness, and which prevent interventions being effective when transferred.
3. To develop and apply network analysis methods and complex systems science to better understand and model the interdependent relationship between multiple determinants of health and behavior and the generation of health inequalities. This will include a focus on social influences on behavior and on alcohol use.
4. To build capacity in the development and evaluation of complex public health interventions and in complex systems science methods, through: staff and student training, developing advanced courses, and leading collaborative networks to develop and share the high quality implementation of these methods.
Research plan and methodology
There will be three complementary themes.
The first will seek to improve methods to support the design and conduct of evaluations of complex interventions, particularly through pragmatic or realist randomised trial designs. In these evaluations, form can vary, external validity is maximised, and there is a focus on understanding and explaining heterogeneity. In particular, interventions are theorised and evaluated in terms of their dependence on context, implementation and differential effectiveness across individuals and populations. This theme will prioritise interventions tackling obesity and alcohol use; using new technology; or targeting health behavior among those with serious mental illness.
Our second theme will further investigate issues of transferability across context, with a particular focus on the transferability of parenting interventions to and from resource-poor settings, notably Africa. These first two themes will largely be concerned with interventions that have multiple components and in developing theoretical and empirical evidence of both their effectiveness and their dependence on external factors.
The third theme will focus on complex systems theory and related systems science methods, to develop approaches that comprehensively account for complexity and facilitate a broader conception of the multiple, modifiable influences on population health and health inequalities. This theme will also include a focus on the co-evolution of social networks and health.

| Title | Illustrated comic - 'Enlighten your clock: How your body tells time' (Judith Brown) |
| Description | The SCRAMS project created a comic, 'Enlighten your clock: How your body tells time', to coincide with the UNESCO International Day of Light on Sunday 16th May 2021. The comic was written and illustrated by Coline Weinzaepflen, Masters student at the University of Strasbourg, and edited by Dr Manuel Spitschan at the Department of Experimental Psychology at Oxford. The comic provides a light-hearted, funny and scientifically grounded introduction to the science of sleep, suitable from the age of 13 years. The reader learns about the body clock, the brain basis of sleep, sleep conditions such as insomnia and narcolepsy, and how to improve sleep. The complex science on these subjects is illuminated through beautiful drawings and a charming narrative which bring the concepts to life. The main protagonist is a cat - a pet species notable for seemingly sleepy behaviour - guiding the human character. As the biological clock underlies many aspects of our physiology and behaviour, the book addresses a key need to explain how the environment impacts on our brain and our body. |

| Impact | In response to the growing number of young people who may find themselves struggling with their mental health during the coronavirus crisis, the Welsh Government developed a range of resources providing children and young people with information to understand the coronavirus pandemic, keep healthy, and support their mental health and wellbeing. The Mental Health Toolkit was designed to direct young people, aged 11 - 25, from the Hwb to a wide range of online resources that can support young people through the lockdown and beyond. It had six wellbeing categories, in each of them will be self-help websites, apps, helplines, and more that are here to support young peoples' mental health and wellbeing. Their target audience is the 11-25 age bracket, with some resources being applicable to all and some leaning towards one end or the other. The six resource categories are: Coronavirus and your wellbeing Keeping Healthy and Active Anxiety Low Mood Loss & Bereavement Crisis & Self-Harm. The resources that were selected are based on the digital self-help resources that are currently recommended for use by local authorities and health boards. Long term, the model will be iteratively updated to capture the needs of children and young people as the Coronavirus situation evolves. This ensures that the resources remain relevant and means that once the Coronavirus pandemic has passed, the toolkit can support young people's mental health in a more generalised capacity or focus in on other specific circumstances should the situation demand it. TRIUMPH Youth Advisory group members provided feedback and thoughts on the toolkit, to ensure that the resource is as relevant and useful to young people as it can be. Feedback was provided via a survey, as due to time constraints it was not possible to organise an online focus group; this also allowed members to feedback in their own time. The feedback helped shape the toolkit and enabled the Welsh Government to make changes that will make the toolkit more suitable and applicable for other young people. |

This was an update to the previous set published in 2011. The indicator set is used to monitor the state of mental health and the risk and protective factors for mental health of children and young people (aged from pre-birth to 17 years, at a national and local level) and inequalities in these. They help inform decision-making about priorities for action and resource allocation and are used to 1. create national and local reports on population mental health, 2. inform strategy, interventions and strategic planning, 3. identify contributions to mental health improvement, 4. create wider awareness of the determinants of wellbeing, 5. strengthen the link between the determinants of mental health and interventions, and 6. inform the development of other indicators for impact assessment. |

| Title | Course in Developing and Evaluating Social and Public Health Interventions (Daniel Wight) |
| Description | A small team from Glasgow University, Danny Wight, Cindy Gray, Andy Baxter and Jo Halliday, delivered a nine day workshop in Moshi, Tanzania, to strengthen East African capacity to develop and evaluate complex interventions. The workshop presented, reviewed and adapted the GU Master's module 'Improving Health and Society' and trained the ten experienced researchers from Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya to further deliver it in their own contexts. The module trains researchers and intervention developers in the Six Steps for Quality Intervention Development (6SQuID) model, an evidence-based approach to the process of developing programmes to improve health and society, and the key principles of evaluation. Participants of the workshop are planning to build this into courses for postgraduate students, research staff, and government and NGO researchers and programmers to promote better development, evaluation and scale-up of effective projects and policies. Additionally, this first trial of the workshop will result in reproducible materials to run similar training sessions for other academics to further develop courses in new international contexts. |

| Title | Agent-based model of lone parents (Eric Silverman) |
| Description | This model is the first released version of our agent-based simulation of the challenges faced by lone parents under the welfare-to-work system. We have made significant extensions to previous work on simulating child care demand, by simulating in detail the work schedules and hour-by-hour time demands of each individual agent. In this way we can capture detailed effects of welfare-to-work requirements, limited free child care hours, and work demands on agents attempting to provide child care in their household. This first release provides the simulation framework; subsequent updates will allow the user to examine different policy scenarios, and will incorporate code optimisations to reduce the computational demands of the agent scheduling system. |
| Type Of Material | Computer model/algorithm |
| Year Produced | 2022 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | This simulation represents a significant advance on previous work, in that it simulates the time demands placed on carers in sufficient detail that we can examine the impact of shift work, night work, and the complications introduced by the limited availability of formal child care during the day. This work is being shared with policy makers and will be refined based on their input. A publication will be prepared once the policy scenarios have been designed, run and analysed in depth; the simulation itself is already publicly available, and will be continually updated and refined as the work progresses. |

| Title | Agent-based model of social and child care provision (Eric Silverman) |
| Description | This agent-based model simulates the interaction between social care and child care supply and demand in the UK population. Previous work has demonstrated the complexities of informal social care provision, and illustrated how socioeconomic status influences the capability of individuals to provide care for loved ones. This model goes further by adding a detailed child care provision process to the model, which presents a more realistic picture of the demands placed on working families when members of the household require care. The differences between adult social care and child care are fully represented here; agents are required by law to look after their children, meaning unmet child care need supersedes adult social care need in the household, and child care can be provided on a many-to-one basis (one parent caring for multiple children at once), unlike adult care. This simulation forms the basis for our core-funded work on the impact of welfare-to-work programmes on lone parents, providing the core child-care provision module needed for that work. |
| Type Of Material | Computer model/algorithm |
| Year Produced | 2020 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | The simulation has been published by PLOS One, and the code made freely available on GitHub. This model is the first ABM to simulate the competing demands of adult social care and child care, and we are using the simulation as a foundation for future simulation work on welfare programmes and the development of policies to support informal care. We intend to further optimise this model and improve the interface, allowing it to be used by a wider community of public health researchers and policy-makers. |

| Title | Agent-based model of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on social care (Eric Silverman) |
| Description | This agent-based simulation was designed to model the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on social care in the UK. The model builds upon our previous simulation of social care, adding a detailed behavioural model of heterogeneous individual responses to the pandemic and related public health restrictions. Simulated agents react to two types of perceived risk: the risk of being infected themselves; and the risk of infecting others. In response to these risks, agents may choose to limit their interactions with others, including those to whom they are providing social care. The model also includes multiple exposure settings in which agents may contract the virus, including a specific setting modelling the spread of the virus during social care interactions. |
| Type Of Material | Computer model/algorithm |
| Year Produced | 2021 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | This simulation marks a significant advancement in methodology, in that it combines a sophisticated and detailed model of formal and informal social care with an innovative model of behavioural responses to the pandemic. The model also simulates the unequal impact of the pandemic, as agents in lower socioeconomic status groups have more difficulty self-isolating and are more likely to get infected. The model has been submitted to Scientific Reports, and we have already received enquiries about collaboration from researchers at the University of Texas. |

| Title | Basic framework for generating simulated agent populations with realistic socio-demographic characteristics (Umberto Gostoli) |
| Description | This model is an enhancement of a previous social care modelling framework which includes additional characteristics in the simulated agents, primarily socio-economic status and a realistic income and wealth distribution for agent households, which makes the simulation more capable of modelling socio-economic policy interventions. The codebase has been enhanced to allow the user to easily generate and compare multiple policy scenarios, and to produce graphs of the relative effectiveness of policies. |
| Type Of Material | Computer model/algorithm |
| Year Produced | 2019 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | This model enables us to investigate and evaluate the impact of different policy scenarios on simulated populations. No previous modelling efforts have been able to compare these kinds of socio-economic policies in this way. We expect this model to be influential in future projects utilising ABMs to evaluate complex policy interventions. |

| Title | CareSim - Agent-Based Simulation of Formal and Informal Child and Social Care (Umberto Gostoli) |
| Description | CareSim is a demographic and socio-economic model developed with the purpose to simulate the process through which informal child and social care are allocated, The main assumption is that these processes tale place in kinship networks, which are networks connecting the receiving households with the households of people with which the receving household's members have a kin relationship. In these networks, the transmission of both informal and formal care takes place, as for some household may be more convenient to allocate income to child and social care provision rather than members' time. As the informal and formal child and social care provided by households is affected by the child and social care policies, the model includes parameters which represent the policy levers related to these policies. This feature, allows the researcher not only to better forecast the future evolution of child and social care needs, but also to simulate the effects of alternative policies. |
| Type Of Material | Computer model/algorithm |
| Year Produced | 2019 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | CareSim is a model allowing policy makers to forecast the evolution of child and social care needs and the way the society will respond to these needs, under the current policy scenario. Moreover, it will allow polciy makers to simulate the effects of alternative social policies designed with the goal to tackle future challenges related to child and social care, as projected by the model. Therefore, the model gives policy makers the opportunity to make policy decisions informed by the demographic and social knowledge underlying the model's structure. |

| 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. |

| Title | Free School Meals |
| Description | Data from official Scottish Government sources were used to investigate the hypotheses outlined above. School meals data was obtained from the Scottish Government's Healthy Living Survey (HLS), an annual census of all publicly-funded Scottish schools, collected in a single week in February 2014. The data analysed was collected for 342 schools (with an additional 20 being lost to missing data) and 36,086 pupils. Data on school buildings was obtained via the 2014 School Estates Core Facts Survey in which local authorities collect information on the size, condition, suitability and capacity of all publicly-funded schools. The survey allows for the ongoing monitoring of school refurbishment. The two datasets were linked using school and local authority names as identifiers. An additional explanatory variable was the price paid for a meal. This data was derived by accessing pricing information via local authority or school websites. Official Scottish Government data (Scottish Government, 2014) provided information on the percentage of the population within each local authority falling into one of six categories: Large Urban, Other Urban, accessible Small Towns, Remote Small Towns, Accessible Rural, Remote Rural. We combined 'neighbouring' pairs to reduce this to three categories: Urban, Small Town and Rural. |

| Title | Model of individual behavioural responses to the Covid-19 pandemic (Eric Silverman) |
| Description | This agent-based model develops a novel behavioural model of individual responses to the Covid-19 pandemic and the risks of being infected, or infecting others. The simulation incorporates an SEIR model of pandemic spread alongside the behavioural model, allowing us to simulate the feedback process wherein agent behaviour is influenced by the pandemic, which in turn influences the course of the pandemic itself. This behavioural model has now been incorporated into our other simulation work on social care, and can be extended to other simulation frameworks as well. |
| Type Of Material | Computer model/algorithm |
| Year Produced | 2021 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | This simulation model represents a step forward in the simulation of pandemic outcomes, in that it directly simulates the impact of individual behaviour on the course of the pandemic. In most pandemic simulations, agents are represented simply as vectors for disease transmission, with their behaviour being modified by restrictions but not by their own perception of personal risk. Our model fundamentally changes this picture, by allowing agents to have heterogeneous risk tolerances, which provides a more accurate picture of the challenges facing policy-makers, given that compliance with restrictions is unlikely to be universal. Since our publication of the model in ABMHub 2021, we have been invited to submit an extension of the paper to the Artificial Life journal, and received enquiries from a US-based simulation group that is also working on behavioural modelling of the pandemic. |

| Title | Neural networks for cellular automata classification (Eric Silverman) |
| Description | This is a first effort at training a neural network, specifically a convolutional neural network, to recognise complex behaviour in cellular automata (CAs). CAs are simple systems that nonetheless display highly complex behaviours, and this network learns to classify CAs by their level of complexity. This early-stage theoretical work is intended as a first step toward an automated system for recognising and categorising emergent/complex behaviour in computer simulation outputs, which will assist in the analysis and understanding of complex models. This initial effort is available as a GitHub repository and is written using Mathematica code. Results were published as an extended abstract for the ALIFE 2019 conference, and will appear in the conference proceedings from MIT Press after the conference. |

| Title | Parental perceptions of risks and benefits of outdoor risky play - dataset (Paul McCrorie) |
| Description | The following is a summary for this dataset: Will hold data related to parents' perceptions of outdoor play situations in terms of their risks and benefits for children aged 2-5 years. The dataset has three parts: 1. Socio-demographic information about parent and child. 2. General play related questions relating how often they took their child out to play, and under what weather conditions. 3. Parental assessment of risk and benefits for 10 visually presented outdoor situations that parents may experience with their child(ren). Parents judged the risk and benefit of each situation using Likert style responses (Completely disagree - Completely agree) and under what conditions they would allow their child to do this activity. For each of the 10 situations parents answer up to 7 questions. The questions are the same for each situation but depending on their responses, additional questions could display throughout. |

| Title | Shirt Sponsorship by Gambling Companies in the English and Scottish Premier Leagues: global reach and public health concerns |
| Description | While the nature of gambling practices is contested, a strong evidence base demonstrates that gambling can become a serious disorder and have a range of detrimental effects for individuals, communities and societies. Over the last decade, football in the UK has become visibly entwined with gambling marketing. To explore this apparent trend, we tracked shirt sponsors in both the English and Scottish Premier Leagues since 1992 and found a pronounced increase in the presence of sponsorship by gambling companies. This increase occurred at the same time the Gambling Act 2005, which liberalised rules, was introduced. We argue that current levels of gambling sponsorship in UK football, and the global visibility it provides to gambling brands, is a public health concern that needs to be debated and addressed. We recommend that legislators re-visit the relationship between football in the UK and the sponsorship it receives from the gambling industry. |

| Title | Social Care ABM for Sensitivity Analysis (Eric Silverman) |
| Description | This is a new version of an agent-based model of social care provision in the UK. This version has been modified to generate large numbers of simulation outputs at varied parameter settings generated by the LPtau method. These outputs are combined into a single file which can then be used as input to uncertainty quantification methods such as Gaussian Process Emulation or neural network regression, which can then produce a 'model of the model' that can be analysed in-depth. This analysis can proceed much more quickly than running the full simulation for the same number of steps, allowing for more robust uncertainty quantification. |

| Impact | This model has been the centrepiece of a research project currently in preparation, which is the first known attempt to train neural networks to replicate the outputs of an agent-based simulation. Preliminary results indicate that neural networks can replicate the complex, non-linear behaviour of agent-based models far better than previously-used methods, which is likely to have a substantial influence on the uncertainty quantification literature and the applied ABM community. |

| PI Contribution | SHINE is collaborating with Generation Scotland at The University of Edinburgh (https://www.ed.ac.uk/generation-scotland) on their recently launched TeenCovidLife survey (22nd May 2020) for 12 to 17 years olds to see how Covid-19 is affecting their health and wellbeing, social and home life. Questions from the Health Behaviour and School-Aged Children survey as well as the forthcoming SHINE On-line Pupil Mental Health survey have been incorporated into the TeenCovidLife survey and the survey distributed to secondary schools in the SHINE network. SHINE schools will have the opportunity to gather base-line mental health data to compare with any data collected later via the SHINE pupil on-line pupil mental health survey. Participating SHINE schools will receive a report with the national findings of the survey in July, as well a school-level data report in August (survey numbers permitting) to assist with planning for the transition back to school. This survey will build on SHINE's ongoing data-driven, systems-level approach to mental health improvement in schools. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Generation Scotland (https://www.ed.ac.uk/generation-scotland) have launched a survey (CovidLife) to understand the psychological, social and economic impacts of COVID-19. There will be a follow up survey as the lockdown continues and again after the government measures are lifted to see how different Generation Scotland volunteers and household cope over time. Generation Scotland requested SHINE to help develop their TeenCovidLife survey for 12 to 17 years olds and work with the SHINE network of secondary schools. Following the first survey (Over 5,000 respondents), over 2,000 TeenCovidLife volunteers took part in the second survey in autumn 2020, to have their say on how the COVID-19 pandemic affected their lives and what it meant to them. The survey included questions about vaccines, exams, wellbeing and COVID-19 measures. The reports were made available in February 2021. |

| PI Contribution | Dr Eric Silverman, Dr Stefano Picascia and Dr Umberto Gostoli have developed a collaborative research initiative with Prof David L Robertson of the Centre for Virus Research, University of Glasgow. We are developing a simulation model combining an agent-based simulation of SARS-CoV-2 spread with a linked evolutionary model of viral evolution. This simulation will allow us to investigate the potential dangers of future variants of SARS-CoV-2, and how those variants will be affected by changes in public health policy and vaccine distribution, which may change the selection pressures imposed upon the virus. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Prof Robertson has contributed by evaluating the early results of our initial model, providing details of the possible mutations of SARS-CoV-2 and how they affect the properties of the virus, and directing us toward relevant research in viral genomics and evolutionary biology. |
| Impact | Early-stage outputs include a simulation model of SARS-CoV-2 spread incorporating competing variants and vaccines with waning immunity. |

| PI Contribution | Dr Umberto Gostoli and myself, following my seminar at St Andrews House for the Health and Social Care Analysis, were contacted by members of Scottish Government with an interest in producing policy advice relating to social care provision. Subsequently over the course of two in-person meetings we have a agreed a plan of action to begin producing an updated version of our social care simulation model to examine the possible outcomes of proposed changes to social care policy in Scotland. Our contribution will be additional modifications to our simulation model, further parameterising the simulation using empirical data, and producing and analysing results from the simulations. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Our partners in Scottish Government will provide empirical data for use in our simulation, where possible, and will arrange meetings between our team and relevant user groups, practitioners and policy-makers. They may be able to provide material support for the research when the additional work required is outside the scope of our normal modelling work. |
| Impact | Near-term outputs expected include a modified version of the simulation, which will be shared publicly via GitHub, and papers documenting the results of these first modifications. |

| Title | CLOCK OFF intervention (AnneMartin) |
| Description | CLOCK OFF - Intervention development - A peer influence approach to reduce night-time use of interactive electronic devices (IED) and social media among adolescents This study aims to develop and refine a peer-led school-based programme which aims to reduce night-time IED and social media use among adolescents (12-13 years). We will conduct a series of interactive online workshops with schools, parents and young people to develop an intervention consisting of three parts: (1) a peer-led approach which involves students identifying influential members of their year group to be trained as peer supporters. Peer supporters will be trained to share messages about the impacts of night-time IED and social media use among students in their year; (2) Sleep Scotland's programme (Sound Sleep) which includes teaching materials on the importance of sleep, training for older pupils to act as Sleep Mentors who promote the importance of sleep and act as sources of advice, and a parent/carer information pack detailing how they can support improved sleep; (3) Sleepy Teens program which include a social media at night-time survey for young people to complete and results will be provided to schools to include in their lesson plan, teaching slides for teachers to use, and a parent intervention. We have worked with schools and young people to develop systems maps and consider the feasibility of the different elements above. The outcomes of this study are threefold: (1) insight into how young people understand the links between night-time use of social media & IED and sleep and mental health, (2) a co-produced programme theory and (3) developed intervention combining the peer-led approach, Sleep Scotland's Sound Sleep program and Sleepy Teens program. This will inform the next stage of the complex intervention framework, namely feasibility testing of the developed intervention.

| Description | STASH is a school-based and peer-led sexual health intervention in which influential students (nominated by their peers) are trained to deliver positive sexual health messages to their year group via face-to-face conversation and social media. The intervention is an adaption of an effective school-based smoking prevention intervention called ASSIST. The feasibility and acceptability of STASH has been examined via an exploratory trial of 6 schools, funded by the National Institute of Health Research (completed in 2019). The costs of delivering the intervention were met by the Scottish Government and Edinburgh and Lothian Health Foundation. STASH was found to be acceptable and feasible with the weight of evidence supportive of continuation to a larger scale evaluation. The next step is to apply for funding to undertake this trial. |

| Results and Impact | When I presented my findings at an ADP sub group meeting (South Ayrshire Council) attendees requested a short summary of key findings, to be written in a non-technical style for a policy audience. They felt this would be useful to communicate evidence about the practices and mechanisms of their recovery communities that I looked at in my research. I have written a briefing and sent it to the primary research gatekeeper, who will in turn distribute it to the entire sub group and use it in policy communications. |

| Results and Impact | Conference presentation at the Sexual Violence Research Initiative Forum in Cape Town, South Africa on 24 October, 2019 Title: Parenting for Preventing Risk of Child Maltreatment in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs): Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Authors: Jamie M. Lachman, Frances Gardner, Wendy Knerr, G.J. Melendez-Torres, Julie Riddell, Amalee R. McCoy, Zuyi Fang, Daniel Wight Abstract: Introduction: In recent years, parenting interventions for reducing child maltreatment in low-and-middle-income countries have risen sharply up the global policy agenda. If policy is linked to evidence, we would expect to see a corresponding rise in rigorous evaluations of parenting programs in these countries, and hence, need for critical synthesis of this new evidence. Objective: We aimed to update our well-cited 2013 systematic review (Prevention Science; k=12 RCTs) on this topic, and to reexamine the evidence base in low-resource countries, including main effects and country-level moderators. Methods: Results were synthesized from randomized and high-quality quasi-experimental evaluations of parenting programs for families with children aged 2-17. Searches included global and regional electronic databases unrestricted by language, as well as unpublished grey literature, trial registries, and communication with experts. We used well-powered robust variance estimation meta-analysis to examine intervention effects on multiple indices of primary outcomes of child maltreatment and harsh parenting, and secondary outcomes of positive parenting, and child behavior. Results: Searches identified 69 randomized trials of parenting programs. Data extraction and meta-analysis is underway and will be completed by May 2019. Conclusion: Our finding of a more than 5-fold increase in number of RCTs reflect a surge of interest in obtaining rigorous evidence to inform policy on parenting and maltreatment prevention in LMICs. We discuss findings in relation to study quality/risk of bias; the extent to which predictors of effect heterogeneity at country level can be found; and lessons that can be learned for policy makers and prevention researchers.

| Results and Impact | European Public Health Week (https://eupha.org/EUPHW) took place in the week beginning Monday 16th May 2022. The SHINE team were joined by three researchers from the SPHSU, to host a virtual event for young people from S1 - S3 (12 to 14 years) to explore the theme: 'A healthy and health literate youth'. The event featured short presentations about sleep science and mental health literacy, the demonstration of a new interactive health data dashboard for SHINE schools with opinions and ideas gathered from the young people via the Mentimeter app. A panel of 12 young people from Hawick High School and St Modan's High School, as well as an audience of young people from various SHINE schools around Scotland discussed their ideas and suggestions for further engagement on health topics. |

| Results and Impact | Did a public engagement activity for adults which got participants to reflect on the social influences on their behaviours. We also told both adults and children about the study. The adults drew out a sociogram which is a graphical representation of your social network, which can capture things like whether people are helpful, age, gender etc. This task helped them think about how individuals in their network might influence their decision making about lifestyle issues Children did a task which involved them designing an app to get their friends more active. The engagement activity sparked discussion and increased awareness of how apps and your social circle can influence your lifestyle. |

| Results and Impact | The new science-based comic book - 'Enlighten your clock: How your body tells time' developed as part of the SCRAMS project was featured at the Glasgow Science Festival 2021:Science on the Sofa. The comic book provides a light-hearted, funny and scientifically grounded introduction to our biological clock, sleep, and how these are affected by the light we are exposed to. It is suitable for all readers from the age of 13 years. The main protagonist is a cat - a pet species notable for seemingly sleepy behaviour - guiding the human character. As the biological clock underlies many aspects of our physiology and behaviour, the book addresses a key need to explain how the environment impacts on our brain and our body. |

| Results and Impact | From 5-7 October 2018 the Complexity in Health Improvement Programme hosted a Hackathon -- a weekend-long event in which a group of young 'hackers' with diverse computing and design skills came together to develop ideas relating to complexity in health. We began the event with some introductory talks on the programme and on complexity for the attending hackers, then showed them an introductory video we had produced to inspire their weekend of hacking. Outcomes included prototype computer simulations of complex health issues and of visualisations of individual interactions in a complex agent-based social system. These outputs are now in the possession of the SPHSU, including all computer code and art assets, and can be used to inspire future work on communicating complexity to stakeholders in health policy and practice. |

| Geographic Reach | Local |
| Primary Audience | Undergraduate students |
| Results and Impact | Eighteen staff members were involved in running the weekend event ranging from senior research staff to PhD students and Support staff members: Senior members of staff: Sharon Simpson, Laurence Moore Research Fellows: Mark McCann, Eric Silverman, Lynsay Matthews Research Assistant/Associate: Anne Martin, Chiara Broccatelli, Stefano Picascia, Alison Devlin PhD Students: Karl Ferguson, Natalie Chalmers, Sofie Bysted Support Staff: Patricia Fisher, Olga Utkina-Macaskill, Enni Pulkkinen, Kirsten Linday, Carol Nicol, Crawford Neilson Aim and Objectives: The primary aim of the event was to develop a prototype of a mobile app, computer game or interactive website to help us communicating the complexity of population health to the public and policy makers. The secondary aim was to help young adults to think about and understand the complexity of health and factors that influence population health. Brief description of the activity / resource: The activity chosen was a hackathon, which is a very popular event to hold in technology communities, in which teams of software developers, graphic designers and artists get together to develop digital technology around a given theme in an intensive, short burst of activity. A hackathon is an innovative way of developing new and interactive communication and education tools. This hackathon took place over the weekend, from Friday to Sunday afternoon and finished with presentations of the developed prototypes and nomination of the winning team by a selected jury (which included Complexity programme researchers and external panel members). To our knowledge, this was the first hackathon on a topic that is was not just limited to a particular population health issue and rather provided room to encompass the complexity of population health in its entity. Setting and reach: The hackathon took place at SPHSU and attracted 16 computer scientists, graphic designers and artists. Participants were undergraduate students enrolled in Year 1 to Year 3 of studies at the University of Glasgow, Caledonian University and Glasgow School of Art. The event was also attended by a policy maker from NHS Health Scotland and a senior research fellow in public health from another UK University. Reaction/wider impact: All participants were enthusiastic about the topic and they reflected on the social determinants of health and how this is a very different focus to their own understandings of medicine, health and wellbeing during the team discussions. This was also reflected in the end products and the ways in which they had engaged with the brief. Participants expressed their enjoyment of taking part in the event throughout the weekend. Photos of the event were taken and shared on twitter using the Unit's twitter handle (@thesphsu). Video footage of the event including interviews with Unit researchers, participants and the NHS Health Scotland policy maker was generated and will be used to produce a summary video of the event. |

| Results and Impact | On 30 April 2019 I was invited to present a seminar for the Royal Statistical Society's Glasgow group on agent-based modelling in population health. There were approximately 25 attendees, including academics, students and professional statisticians. This is the abstract for the talk: Public health research faces major challenges that cannot be addressed effectively with straightforward interventions, such as combatting the spread of obesity. As a result the field of complex systems science, and related methods like agent-based models (ABM), have become increasingly popular as a means to understand these difficult issues. However, building an ABM is markedly different from building a mathematical model, and frequently the two approaches are best used to answer entirely different kinds of research questions. In this talk I will outline the theory and practice of ABM, and discuss how computational and statistical approaches can work together to help us understand and address complex public health challenges. |

| Results and Impact | Keynote talk at 1st Annual Swiss Early Childhood Research Meeting for researchers and practitioners: Title: It's Time to Grow Up! Taking Early Childhood Interventions to Scale: Challenges and Opportunities Abstract: The Sustainable Development Goals have identified early childhood development as a priority focus area targeting multiple SDGs that include education, health, poverty, and gender. This is of paramount importance in the field of early childhood development where over one billion children in the Global South are still not meeting their developmental potential. In order to meet these targets by 2030, it will require the rapid dissemination of evidence-based interventions that can be implemented effectively at scale. However, despite substantial evidence on the effectiveness of early childhood interventions across multiple domains, many interventions fail when implemented at scale. The field of early childhood development requires a radical rethinking of how we develop and test interventions so that they can reach large numbers of beneficiaries and maintain their effectiveness at scale. This keynote lecture will discuss the need for innovative multidisciplinary research approaches aimed at optimising early childhood interventions for scale in the Global South. It argues for a synthesis of approaches from the fields of engineering, prevention and implementation science, health and development economics, public health and biotechnology. It will illustrate ways that academics, policymakers, and practitioners can work closely together to answer some of the most challenging questions regarding the scale up of early childhood interventions. Thus, it aims to shed light on how we can best serve those on the frontline of early childhood development while advancing our scientific knowledge regarding what works, for whom, and how in order to improve the wellbeing of children and their families. |

| Results and Impact | The Schools Health and Wellbeing Improvement Research Network (SHINE) led session two (Data and trends in young people's mental health and wellbeing) of Policy Hub Scotland's Mental Health in Schools Conference, on Thursday 14th November 2019 at the EICC in Edinburgh. Dr Jo Inchley began the session with a presentation on key recent findings from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children 2018 survey, providing both the Scottish and international context. The audience of mostly teachers, third sector mental health workers and stakeholders from the Local Authorities were very interested to hear about health and wellbeing (HWB) trends in body image, bullying, the important of a trusted adult and multiple health complaints in young people. Dawn Haughton, SHINE Network Manager, outlined the development of the network, which now includes 106 schools across Scotland. Dawn also described how the network aims to support schools in addressing their HWB needs, with a focus on mental health, by using a data-driven, systems-level approach to health improvement. Dawn further described the on-going SHINE case studies research in five local authorities which is evaluating schools' experiences of being members of SHINE and the uptake and impact of the HWB data reports which were issued to schools in April 2019. The SHINE team was delighted to introduce representatives from two SHINE schools to give the delegates a first hand report of how the SHINE data was being used in their schools. Andy Dingwall, the Depute Head Teacher from Blairgowrie High School in Perthshire explained how the evidence from the data had been used to target priorities in mental health and wellbeing interventions and PSE delivery, as well as informing decisions regarding the school improvement plan. Fiona Donnelly, the Headteacher at Sandwood Primary School in Glasgow talked about how the overview of current research, provided at the start of each topic area in the report, had supported her understanding of the links between the various factors impacting on children's wellbeing and facilitated the planning for future interventions. Both teachers spoke about the importance of sharing the report within the school community and were very positive about the impact of the SHINE reports. The conference was a highly successful event with many schools now stating their intention to join the SHINE Network after hearing from the team and the two SHINE schools and being able to collect more information, SHINE briefing papers at the exhibition stand. The imminent launch of the SHINE Pupil mental health and wellbeing survey was of particular interest to schools, in addition to the SHINE webinar on 'Sleep and Mental Health' which will be delivered by Professor Daniel Smith for member schools only on Wednesday 20th November. The conference also featured a session on Public Petitions Committee's inquiry into mental health support for young people in Scotland with five MSPs attending the conference. The afternoon Ideas Hub session featured a number of short 'pitches' by presenters showcasing approaches, resources or lesson plans around children and young people's mental health that have been delivered in schools across Scotland. |

| Results and Impact | PHASE have developed an online resource that serves as a self-learner's curriculum to provide a broad direction to guide independent learning and study for those wanting to find out more about using agent-based models (ABMs) in population health. The curriculum provides information on existing resources, organisations, sources of knowledge, and people within PHASE and the wider simulation community that can help users to use ABMs for health improvement. The curriculum is structured to suit a range of audiences: - People who want to learn about health improvement modelling - People who want to learn how to become "modellers" and build agent-based simulation models themselves - People who want to become "model users" and work with modellers to make decisions on how the models are used in public health practice, even if they don't learn to build models themselves |

| Results and Impact | Mark McCann gave a presentation about Complexity in Health Improvement at the 'Society' section of the international Pint of Science Festival at the Griffin Bar in Glasgow. The event was sold out, with 40 tickets sold. Some audience members were surprised to learn about the linear association between alcohol and cancer, rather than alcohol and health being an issue for dependent drinkers only. There were a broad range of questions about the role of simulation models in developing new policies for health, the role of industry - in particular supermarkets - in ultra low price alcohol, ideas around the 'Nanny state' relating to public health policy, and how complex modelling frameworks can be applied to health topics other than alcohol, specifically obesity, and change in retirement age and its influence on the balance of informal and formal care. The organisers were very pleased with the event, and have agreed to present to SPHSU staff to make plans for next year's festival. Mark McCann was also invited to present to another public science meeting. |

The research was well-received and the audience agreed that the findings are consistent with their own findings from internal consultations, so they were glad to have a more formal academic evidence base to support this. They have requested a 2-4 page overview of findings written for a policy audience, that they can use as evidence for their practice in policy settings. |

| Results and Impact | SCRAMS (Sleep, circadian rhythms and mental health in schools) and SHINE (Schools Health and Wellbeing Improvement Research Network) researchers, in collaboration with the charity Sleep Scotland and pupils from two SHINE schools, Blairgowrie High School and Craigmount High School, developed a virtual 'Sleep in Schools' week, which ran for all their pupils from 8th to 12th June 2020. The aim of the sleep week was to explore young people's sleep habits and raise awareness of the importance of getting a good night's sleep for mental wellbeing, especially at this unprecedented time of the Covid pandemic. Later it is planned to launch a brief survey to measure young people's knowledge and perceptions about sleep and sleep research in a more conventional way to cross-validate data from the 'Sleep in School' week activities. There will be more opportunities for schools to get involved in future engagement activities and the feasibility research studies from Autumn 2020. The programme of activities that has been co-produced with pupils and teachers included: • Using Sleep Scotland's 'Sound Sleep' resources including a sleep quiz, sleep habits and behaviours questionnaires, and checklist for sleepy teenagers within Personal & Social Education (PSE) lessons. • School-wide exercises for pupils reflecting on their sleep and activity levels and how these relate to mental wellbeing and then sharing these thoughts with their peers, parents and teachers. • 'Meet the sleep scientist' videos for pupils and teachers. • Sleep vlogs by nominated sleep champions in each school. A fantastic summary video was made by sleep champions and teachers at Blairgowrie High School discussing all the learning and resources (https://youtu.be/WG_7zsz_TwM). |

| 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. |

The presentations and discussions led to useful knowledge exchange to support SHINE's understanding of the parents' group. SHINE's aim to increase parental engagement was supported by the group who agreed to act as a point of reference if required. This is very valuable as the social media influence of GC parents' group has a reach of 5000 followers on Twitter and 6000 followers on Facebook. Due to the links of GCPG with the key stakeholders in health and education at GC local authority, GCPG's awareness of SHINE will transfer to the wider local authority. |

| Results and Impact | SHINE was invited by Education Scotland to present at the Scottish Learning Festival in the Health and Wellbeing Live Expo - The Curriculum session. The session was fully booked with 180 delegates attending from all over Scotland, representing schools, Local Authorities and wider educational stakeholders. In preparation for the SHINE demonstration, the SHINE Network Manager visited Dunblane High School to work with twenty S6 pupils from the S6 Mental Health Elective group and undertaking the Mental Health and Wellbeing Award at SCQF levels 4 and 5 (https://www.sqa.org.uk/sqa/83453.html). The researcher used the 'Best Start in Life' activity to initiate a discussion about which social and environmental factors most affect a young person's wellbeing as they develop. The S6 pupils were shown a pupil-friendly version of the SHINE health and wellbeing data report mental health section for their school, which was collected in the 2017-2018 Health Behaviour in School-aged Children Survey. The pupils were asked to use the reflective questions to support their understanding of the data and discuss the findings. They were asked to identify 2- 3 strengths and 2-3 areas of challenge. With this information they can now begin to consider how to celebrate the strengths and plan a solution-focused approach to the challenges which will involve the wider school community. Two of the pupils from the S6 MH elective group and the member of staff responsible then accompanied two SHINE researchers to the Scottish Learning Festival on the 26th September where they ran the 'Best Start in Life' activity for the visiting delegates and answered questions about their understanding and experience of using the mental health data. They were able to confidently discuss their next steps with interested members of the wider educational community and explain how the partnership with SHINE will support improvements in mental health in their school community. Delegates were pleased to be able to speak to pupils, a member of staff and researchers to understand how the Network supports schools to use evidence cased health and wellbeing data to improve wellbeing. This activity has been written up and will be included on the Education Scotland National Improvement Hub practice exemplars which will make it widely accessible to all schools; so driving up membership of the SHINE Network. |

| Results and Impact | The Schools Health and Wellbeing Improvement Research Network (SHINE) has been collaborating with Generation Scotland at The University of Edinburgh on the TeenCovidLife survey with the full report, poster and summary launched on the 10th August 2020. From 22nd May to the 5th July 2020 5,548 young people, aged 12-17, across Scotland took part in TeenCovidLife, an online survey about health and wellbeing that provided a voice for young people. The number of young people feeling lonely was three times higher during lockdown compared to pre-lockdown levels. Home-based schooling was a challenge for a large proportion of participants, with 46 per cent saying they found it difficult, in comparison 23 per cent found it easy. Lockdown was also found to have had an impact on the sleep of young people as 69 per cent of them said they were going to bed later during lockdown. Participating SHINE schools with a large number of respondents will receive a school-level report, which can be used to formulate specific response plans to the impact of lockdown on their pupils. Media coverage of the findings included The Daily Telegraph, The I, The Scotsman, The Herald, Scottish Daily Mail, Scottish Daily Express, Daily Record, Metro, Press and Journal and Evening Express. The findings were also featured in an interview on Reporting Scotland BBC One (https://mms.tveyes.com/MediaDownload.asp?MDID=13602929&MDS=2428), in a substantial interview with David Porteous on BBC Sounds Good Morning Scotland (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000lm4z) and covered on STV news. |

The full event in in Edinburgh sparked questions and discussion as well as considerable media coverage. Key findings from the report included that the majority (85%) of young people reported high levels of life satisfaction in 2018, while almost one in five adolescents rated their health as excellent. However, the report also revealed the lowest levels of adolescent confidence seen in 24 years, with only 51% of adolescents in Scotland reporting that they often or always feeling confident in themselves. Other findings from the report included mental health and wellbeing, sleep, social media and online communication, home and school life. There were two further presentations on translating evidence into action: using the HBSC data to support and health and wellbeing in schools through the Schools Health and Wellbeing Improvement Research Network (SHINE); using HBSC data to support national and international work on child and adolescent health. |

| Results and Impact | The SHINE 3rd annual national network conference took place virtually on the 18th November 2021. The theme of the event was 'Data into Action - transforming young people's health and wellbeing through data'. Over 100 teachers and education policy/practitioners attended the presentations and breakout room discussions. To set the context for the day's events and consider the national picture, the Scottish Government updated on the ongoing work of the Joint Delivery Board within the national mental health strategy for young people. To provide practical examples of evidence-based practice in schools, the Equally Safe at School team delivered an informative presentation about their work with schools using data evidence to support and educate young people about gender-based violence in order to prevent it. To consider the future of using health research effectively in schools there were inputs from health researchers, investigating a range of factors affecting young people's mental health. Delegates were invited to discuss their projects in relation to the school setting and get involved. To support school practice, researchers from the universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow introduced new resources for members to improve young people's understanding of and ability to interact with health data in the classroom. The initial findings from the 1st year of the SHINE mental health survey were presented allowing schools to compare the total findings to their school-level findings. To share good practice amongst practitioners, two SHINE schools and one Local Authority presented case study sessions to showcase their use and implementation of the SHINE mental health survey at school, cluster and Local authority level, taking questions from delegates and discussing the practicalities of their plans. To network around specific SHINE targets the three SHINE Development Officers shared their plans and progress and called for members to get involved. Changing Faces - the UK's leading charity supporting people with a visible difference gave the final presentation of the conference. |
