DECIPHer: Centre for the Development and Evaluation of Complex Interventions for Public Health Improvement
Lead Research Organisation:

Department Name: Sch of Social Sciences
Abstract
To develop effective interventions to improve population health requires an understanding of what works, for whom, under what circumstances and why? This necessitates the development of epidemiologically and social scientifically informed complex and multi-factorial interventions that are effective across settings and behaviours; the rigorous evaluation of complex interventions, often using pragmatic controlled trial designs with nested process evaluation and including natural experiments of new policy programmes and the use of routine data to develop and target interventions and to provide sources of data on contexts and long term outcomes for intervention studies. The centre for the Development and Evaluation of Complex Interventions for Public Health Improvement (DECIPHer) brings together a team of world class researchers with expertise in a wide variety of quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods and intervention technologies to address these issues. Building on a strong track record in working with partners from public health policy and practice, and in public involvement in research, we will develop, test, evaluate and then implement interventions that are effective in improving the health of the population across settings and behaviours and which address health inequalities, with a particular focus on children and young people.
DECIPHer's aims are to conduct research that:
1. will lead to measurable improvements in the health of children and young people
2. identifies policies and interventions that are readily adopted, implemented and maintained in the real world and are effective in improving health and reducing health inequalities.
We will also provide high quality training programmes to develop the skills and careers of public health researchers, and a focal point for collaboration with policy and practice.
For its second five-year period of funding, DECIPHer's core Centre resources will be focussed on developing a high quality cadre of early career researchers who, with a multidisciplinary team of senior scientists will take forward four research programmes:
The first will examine multiple risk behaviours in young people and their antecedents to develop complex interventions which address multiple risk behaviours and their causes.
The second will develop and conduct a programme of research on organisational approaches to promoting health in schools and other youth settings.
The third will focus on further development of methods to develop and evaluate complex interventions, with an emphasis on applying randomised trials and other high quality research designs to evaluating interventions in a way that produces rigorous evidence that is useful to public health decision makers.
The fourth programme is also methodological in nature, and is concerned with maximising the use of routine data from population surveys and other administrative sources to improve our understanding of the determinants of population health and facilitate the evaluation of interventions without the need for expensive collection of new data.
These four complementary programmes will provide a platform for multiple applied research projects, funded through additional competitive grant funding, which will be strategically co-ordinated within and across three broad priority areas relating to the health of children and young people: Tobacco, Alcohol, Drugs; Obesity, Physical activity, Diet; Mental health and wellbeing. DECIPHer will address health behaviour in its widest sense, encompassing individual risk and protective behaviour and the contexts and structures that improve, sustain or undermine health and well-being. Adopting a socio ecological approach, the focus will be on multiple behaviours and on the design and evaluation of interventions that take full account of the interdependencies between individual, social, family, community, organisational and policy factors.

Technical Summary
Multiple risk behaviours: Complex analyses of large scale longitudinal data sets including latent class analysis, with further analyses attempting to identify longitudinal relationships between multiple correlated determinants at multiple time points on the one hand, and multiple risk behaviours and their development over time on the other. Systematic reviews of the literature, including new methods which systematically identify and synthesise relevant social theory.
Health promoting settings: Transdisciplinary action research partnerships including: repeated measures data collection to inform needs assessment and strategy development, longitudinal evaluation and a data rich environment for system dynamics methods to be developed and applied to the modelling and adaptation of interventions; engagement of stakeholders to maximise ownership and maintenance of interventions; multilevel programmes, following a standard functional design based on evidence and theory, but optimised for local circumstance and need.
Complex intervention research: Mixed methods randomised trials of complex interventions. Further development will be in the analysis and dissemination of how to design and deliver such studies in the real world, contributing to methodological literature in policy trials and implementation science; developing the concept of realist trials; improving reporting and synthesis of complex trials; modelling of complex systems and relationships - agent-based modelling, social network analysis, and of long term cost-effectiveness.
Data linkage and natural experiments: Exploitation of data resources created through data linkage to facilitate natural experiments of population health interventions. This will include development and refinement of novel research designs, informed by engineering based systems science methods, to use repeated measures data to monitor, evaluate and improve interventions. We will further develop the Welsh Electronic Cohort for Children.

Planned Impact
1. Who will benefit?
DECIPHer's aim is to conduct research that identifies policies and interventions that are readily adopted, implemented and maintained in the real world and are effective in improving health and reducing health inequalities. To achieve this DECIPHER's partnership approach, maximises the impact of its research through the active engagement of policy, practice and public partners throughout the process. Thus, impacts will accrue for academics with improved research methods for evaluating complex interventions and increases in policy relevant research, for policy makers and practitioners with the development of evidence based cost effective interventions through partnership working and ultimately, for the public, improvements to population health and reductions in health inequalities.
2. How will they benefit.
Impacts for academics: DECIPHer's leadership in developing innovative complex evaluation methods and processes to maximise high quality policy trials, natural experiments and data linkage to provide long term outcomes across multiple domains, will address calls for improvements in the evaluation of complex intervention and policy. DECIPher will continue to have a major impact on policy relevant research by developing knowledge and expertise in how to design and conduct evaluations that understand how interventions are implemented in real life. In this way, evaluations retrain both scientific rigour and high external validity. Involvement of policy and practice partners in all stages of intervention design, evaluation and translation will maximise policy and practice impacts. These issues are germane to many related and important areas of inquiry. For example, educational research in the UK can learn greatly from the schools based work that DECIPHer will conduct.
Impacts for policy makers and practitioners: DECIPHer's focus on multilevel processes and multi-level interventions will address policy/practice shortcomings in tackling priority health behaviours and addressing health inequalities. Important impacts will be the identification of sustainable cost effective interventions addressing multiple risk behaviours by understanding the extent to which risk behaviours occur together, identifying common underlying factors and intervention pathways, and assessing the potential impact of universal and targeted approaches. Such approaches have the potential, not only to improve population health, but also to reduce health inequalities. DECIPHer' s approach facilitates the development and evaluation of process based capacity building interventions to achieve sustainable whole system change. Important intermediate impacts will therefore focus on increases in policy, practice and public engagement in intervention development and implementation
Impacts for the public: There has been increased policy recognition of the need for early years' intervention to address determinants of health, social and economic outcomes into later life. There is also evidence to indicate that intervention in childhood can be very cost effective, yet it is not clear which strategies work best, for whom and under what circumstances. Although, attention has focussed on pre school and parenting interventions, schools and other youth settings have also been identified as important in influencing child behaviours, health and wellbeing. Therefore, DECIPHer's focus on children and young people, on multifactorial settings-based interventions and on interventions that may influence multiple risk behaviours not only remains highly scientifically and policy relevant, but in the long term has the potential to have significant effects on population health and reduce inequalities.

This included additional support and training provision for practitioners across the national scheme, tailored and more intensive approaches that addressed motivation for mental health patients and all male support groups within the scheme. The evaluation results also informed the content of the British Heart Foundation Exercise Referral Toolkit and featured prominently in the 2013 Public Health Wales review of programmes Transforming Health Improvement in Wales, which, based on the evidence, identified NERS as only one of three national programmes that should be maintained and improved.

| Policy Influence Type | Participation in a guidance/advisory committee |
| Impact | Evaluation results for the Primary School Free Breakfast Initiative have had a direct impact on the level of funding of the policy in the context of austerity. In the foreword of the evaluation of the pilot PSFBI, the Welsh Government noted that: "The feedback we have received, both through this report and directly from those participating, has helped to identify areas where further consideration is needed. The Finance sub-group has been established for example in response to concerns about the levels of funding. The Minister for Education and Lifelong Learning has stated that 'a sum of £3.5m is available for 2005-06 rising to £8.5m in 2007-08. We will revisit these funding levels once we have considered the evidence from the pilot and the independent evaluation.' " [1] Additionally, Jane Davidson, the then Education Minister, stated of the PSFBI that "We have always said we will revisit the funding levels once we have considered the evidence from the pilots and the independent evaluation"[2]: to date, the funding of the initiative has risen from £3.5m.for 2005/6 to £12.7m. for 2012/13. Evaluation results have been also been used to support the breakfast club initiative in the face of cross-party disagreement. Responding to criticism by Welsh Conservative shadow education minister Paul Davies, an Assembly Government spokeswoman quoted the results of the PSFBI evaluation, pointing out that "overall the results are positive regarding the outcomes in terms of number of healthy food items consumed at breakfast and more positive attitudes towards eating breakfast". Responding to Davies's claim that the PSBI did "not address the root causes of poor diet linked to poverty", the spokeswoman cited the continuing work by Dr Murphy on the PSFBI evaluation, including "a detailed examination of the association between socio-economic position, diet and school performance", highlighting its on going impact and most recent research publication [3]. Consequently, financial and political support for the initiative has been maintained by the subsequent coalition government. Speaking on the BBC, Education Minister Leighton Andrews stated "One Wales [the Labour-Plaid Cymru assembly government coalition deal] commits us to maintaining the programme of free school breakfasts and we look forward to even more schools taking up the scheme." [4].

| Description | Member of UNICEF UK's Baby Friendly Designation Committee. |
| Geographic Reach | National |
| Policy Influence Type | Membership of a guideline committee |
| Impact | The UK Baby Friendly Initiative is based on a global accreditation programme of UNICEF and the World Health Organization. It is designed to support breastfeeding and parent infant relationships by working with public services to improve standards of care. In 2012 we revised our standards; for more on the history of Baby Friendly in the UK, please see the dedicated section on our website. Why are we needed? Breastfeeding reduces the risk of babies becoming ill. It is also associated with a reduced risk of later childhood disease and protects the mother's health. It has been suggested that the lower incidence of illness associated with higher breastfeeding rates could also lead to significant cost savings in the treatment of illnesses such as gastro-enteritis. While UK breastfeeding rates are increasing, they are still among the lowest in Europe. At birth, only 81 per cent of British babies are breastfed. This figure falls to 69 per cent at one week. Just one in three babies are still receiving breastmilk at six months, despite recommendations that babies need nothing other than breastmilk for the first six months of life. Best practice The UNICEF UK Baby Friendly Initiative provides a framework for the implementation of best practice by NHS trusts, other health care facilities and higher education institutions, with the aim of ensuring that all parents make informed decisions about feeding their babies and are supported in their chosen feeding method. Facilities and institutions that meet the required standards can be assessed and accredited as Baby Friendly. Implementing Baby Friendly standards is a proven way of increasing breastfeeding rates. It also means health professionals can give mothers the support, information and encouragement they need. |

| Title | An adolescent self-harm qualitative research safety protocol to manage the potential risk of harm to secondary school pupils in adolescent self-harm prevention intervention research. |
| Description | It delivers key information and recommendations for managing the potential risk of harm to secondary school pupil research participants within community-based adolescent self-harm prevention intervention research. It provides an in-depth overview of a successful research safety protocol design including: the core ethical issues and the principles that informed its design; the key professional practice skills required for the active risk management within the research setting to safeguard the research participants; and two detailed interview safety protocols. The two interview safety protocols are as follows: (1) the interview safety protocol for managing participant distress within the interview context; (2)the interview safety protocol for managing participant disclosure of current self-harm and/or suicide ideation or behaviour within the interview context. |

| Impact | This research safety protocol was successful in managing the potential risks and avoiding harm to the school-based adolescent research participants. This work is designed to help address some of the current research barriers to completing adolescent self-harm prevention intervention research in schools. It also contributes to the emerging knowledge-base and discussion highlighting the complex ethical issues that can arise when completing adolescent self-harm research with young people. The research safety protocol was presented at the International Society for the Study of Self-Injury 2020 conference. It will also be presented at the 18th European Symposium on Suicide and Suicidal Behaviour in Rome (this symposium was to take place in September 2020 but has been delayed due to COVID-19). |
| Title | Annual Short Course on Developing and Evaluating Complex Public Health Interventions (combined version delivered from 2019 onwards) |

| Title | Development and test-retest reliabiltiy study of questionnaire to measure mediators of knowledge, motivation and self-efficacy for parents and nursery staff |
| Description | Nurseries in Bristol were invited by email to take part in the test-retest mediator (parental and nursery staff knowledge, motivation and self-efficacy) questionnaire study and an invitation to take part was posted on the website www.netmums.com. Inclusion criteria were self-identifying nursery staff and parents or carers who worked with or had children aged 2-4, respectively. Participating nursery managers recruited nursery staff and parents via email, and the respective questionnaires were sent out as a weblink and completed twice (a week apart). A small number of parents were recruited online via www.netmums.com. The acceptability of the questionnaires was explored by looking at response rates and missing data. Cronbach's a coefficients were used to look at the internal consistency of the four scales (nutrition self-efficacy, PA self-efficacy, nutrition motivation, PA motivation). Test-retest analyses (weighted kappa coefficients and paired t-tests) were used to determine whether the items/scales are reliable. The analyses demonstrated that the scales show good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. |

| Title | Framework to guide co-production and prototyping of public health interventions |
| Description | Hawkins, J., Madden, K., Fletcher, A., Midgley, L., Grant, A., Cox, G., Moore, L., Campbell, R., Murphy, S., Bonell, C. & White, J. (2017). Development of a framework for the co-production and prototyping of public health interventions. BMC Public Health, 17(1), 689. 10.1186/s12889-017-4695-8 https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-017-4695-8 We developed and tested a three-stage framework to adapt and develop intervention content and delivery methods in collaboration with key stakeholders to facilitate implementation. The three stages of the framework are: 1) Evidence review and stakeholder consultation; 2) Co-production; 3) Prototyping. The framework extends current guidance on intervention development by providing step-by-step instructions for co-producing and prototyping an intervention's content and delivery processes prior to piloting and formal evaluation. This framework addresses a gap in existing guidance for developing public health interventions with regards the early stages of intervention development that have previously received little attention. The framework could be transferred to co-produce and prototype other public health interventions. The framework was developed during the ASSIST+Frank study which led to the development of two new secondary school-based drug prevention interventions. |

| Impact | Since publication in December 2017 this paper has been cited 27 times by a broad range of population health researchers, demonstrating its applicability beyond school drug prevention. The methodological impact of this paper is evidenced by its inclusion within a guidance document produced by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and National Institute for Health Research on taking account of context in intervention development. The framework formed the basis for an invited keynote talk by the project Principal Investigator (Dr James White) at the 2018 European Society for Prevention Research conference as well as an invited guest lecture by the lead author (Dr Jemma Hawkins) at Karolinska Institute (March 2019) and an invited keynote talk at the 2019 Nordic Advances in Health Care Sciences Conference. The published paper is a key reference within DECIPHer's short course on developing and evaluating complex interventions in which delegates are taught about the development of the framework and how to use it. In 2019 the course will be delivered across several countries internationally including Ireland, Sweden, Jordan, and South Africa. We have been informed by researchers at Aarhus University that the framework is being utilised in their research and teaching, and the lead author has been invited to present the framework within the University's doctoral training for intervention development. |

| Title | Realist diagnostic of young carers and their mental health in the natural system |
| Description | The realist diagnostics is adapted from the realist synthesis method where an intervention is evaluated on the basis of its success in enabling positive change for the population. As part of this the evaluation identifies CMO (Context - Mechanism - Outcome) configurations, and which mechanisms have been targeted by the intervention with the aim of triggering change that will lead to positive outputs. The realist diagnostic amends this traditional approach by mapping the mechanisms that exist in the natural system, the contextual factors that have the potential to trigger these mechanisms and the outcomes that result. Once mapped there is the potential to identify mechanisms that could be the target of future interventions. This was developed for a study of young carers mental health. The diagnostic identified and screened past young carers studies, before analysing the resulting 45 papers to identify configurations that exist. |

| Title | Remote digital food photography in nurseries |
| Description | We developed a protocol for collecting food/drink from children aged 2-4 in nurseries using remote digital food photography to give an estimation of the type and quantity of food served and consumed. We tested the feasibility of the method in four nurseries with 51 consented children to determine the feasibility of data collection before the child had eaten anything and after to capture leftovers, with additional photographs if additional food was served. A standard credit-card sized marker was included in all photos to estimate portion size. Different foods were separated to aid portion size assessment. A reference meal of composite dishes was photographed, and ingredients of the meal weighed on scales and recipes documented. The type and number of drinks was recorded and the volume of a standard cup was measured. Nursery staff were asked to complete a questionnaire about their views of the acceptability of the data collection. The photographs were submitted for analysis to an organisation specialised in estimating food portion and nutrient data using food photography. Trained staff used the photographs and annotations to match foods to a UK food composition database. Portion size was estimated by comparing the photograph to standard photographs where portion size (grams) was known. Questionnaire data from nursery staff were summarised using descriptive statistics. It is feasible and acceptable to children, parents and nursery staff to collect diet data in a nursery setting by taking photographs. |

| Title | The Building Blocks family cohort |
| Description | A pseudonymised research database is being established by the research team and hosted at SAIL, Swansea University. This currently includes the original Building Blocks trial data set (baseline and outcomes to age two years) and now further follow-on data (from age 2 years to six years old) for children in the trial and their mothers. Data will be drawn from NHS Digital and Department for Education's National Pupil Database following section 251 approval and a dissent model of access. Once fully established and validated, the database could in principle be expanded to extend breadth and duration of follow-up and to provide an accessible well-chacterised dataset of families for other researchers to apply to undertake further analysis upon. Update: 2020 The BB study cohort is now established in the SAIL databank. In addition to being the data required for the main BB2 study analysis and report to NIHR, it is now to be used for two further studies (funded by ERC and by Nuffield Trust). We are completing the set-up process for this (the principal component being amending our data sharing agreement for data provided by NHS Digital). |

| Description | Data held within the SAIL gateway to analyse an intervention on housing and health |
| Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
| Year Produced | 2016 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |

| Title | Theoretical Model of Stigma (two secondary school contexts in Wales) Surrounding Talking About Adolescent Self-Harm |
| Description | Grounded theory analysis of interview data generated a theoretical model of stigma when talking about adolescent self-harm in the school context. Model's main categories : word tabooing ; avoidance; judgemental stance; exclusion; fear/danger beliefs . Each main category has a number of sub-categories. |
| Type Of Material | Data analysis technique |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | The model captures the institutionalised socio-cultural processes which are the mechanisms that deliver the outcomes of social exclusion and discrimination. Prior research has demonstrated that the topic of adolescent self-harm is excluded in many schools from the whole-school curriculum which negatively impacts the delivery of any whole-school self-harm prevention activities and support. The stigma model generated in this small scale project may be one explanation for this exclusion. |

| Results and Impact | During the current pandemic known as COVID-19, children and young people across the UK are now adapting to their new learning environment at home. Due to this not being something that could be planned for, it has been a difficult transition for some young people with a lot things affecting how we commit time to learning and learn at home. ALPHA members met for the first time virtually to discuss research on home learning and home school links with Jeremy Sergott. Jeremy met with ALPHA to look at different aspects of the current lockdown and how it is having an impact on young people. This feedback will help shape the application for the COVID-19 funding call that DECIPHer are submitting. This session had a focus on identifying different aspects of current lockdown, more specially, discussion around the key issues facing young people? What questions relating to the health impacts, both physical and mental, should we be asking about the current lock down? And what are the potential long term changes in daily life as a result of this lockdown? Due to this being the first online ALPHA session we trialled two methods for ALPHA members to provide feedback. One was the usual group discussions and summarising key points, and the other was using mentimeter or the Zoom 'chat' option. This allowed for members who aren't comfortable talking in group discussions to provide their feedback and opinions. By providing both options it allowed for every member to contribute to the session, which enabled us to capture greater response and views from ALPHA members. |

| Results and Impact | Beki Langford and Christie Cabral came to ALPHA to introduce their research that looked at how weight and body size affect learning. Studies have shown children and young people with larger body sizes (overweight/obese) tend to do less well at school. While various explanations for this have been suggested, no study has interviewed people about their experiences at school to specifically explore how weight and body size might affected learning. There is therefore something about the experience of having a larger body size at school that appears to affect achievement in school. Exploring and understanding these experiences is important if we are to start to address this issue. The main aim for meeting with ALPHA was to showcase the research findings to see what ALPHA thought of them and these findings fit with what they have witnessed/experienced in school. Beki also wanted to know what could be done to improve this. |

| Results and Impact | Researchers from the Climate Change and Social Transformation (CAST) research centre met with ALPHA to discuss their public facing charter, that addresses how they reduce their carbon output, and how to make this accessible for the majority of people. ALPHA were tasked with looking at the charter as a whole and provide feedback on their initial impressions, ALPHA felt that it was a good document and something that was easily readable. However they felt that the document needed to be made more userfriendly for the majority of people to read it all, whilst it wasn't very long it was quite dry. ALPHA suggested breaking in down into smaller bits of information. We also wanted more specific information from ALPHA about the travel and food and drink aspects of CAST's charter and whether these were appropriate actions that researchers were taking to reduce their carbon output. This feedback from ALPHA has helped cast to revise their charter and make it more appropriate for other audiences. |

| Primary Audience | Schools |
| Results and Impact | Dr Rhiannon Evans and Dr Graham Moore joined ALPHA members, virtually, to discuss how COVID-19 has impacted on inequalities in adolescent mental health. There are concerns that the COVID-19 outbreak will have had significant and lasting impacts on the mental health of children and young people. Many young people, particular those from poorer backgrounds, experience significant loneliness during normal school closure periods such as summer holidays. This will likely have been exacerbated by a prolonged closure, with many other extra-curricular activities also suspended. The project will collect survey data from young people measuring mental health and perceptions of social relationships including school connectedness and relationships with friends and family. This will be combined with existing data collected immediately before the outbreak. The outcome of this will enable to team to evaluate change in mental health, school connectedness and other social relationships outside of school, among young people in Wales and to understand how impacts differ according to experiences of 'Lockdown. The aim of this ALPHA session was to identify different aspects of current lockdown: 1. Lockdown and Bereavement - how the new normal may have exacerbated these difficulties? 2. What are the positive aspects of the lockdown? 3. What are the potential long term changes in daily life you'd like to keep as a result of this lockdown? |

| Results and Impact | This study will compare whether children who take part in the Community Group Programme do any better than similar children who receive the usual support available in their local service. The findings will also tell us if families who experience Domestic Violence or Abuse (DVA) are willing to take part in this type of study and then we can decide whether to do a much bigger study. Due to recent developments with Covid-19, this ALPHA session was done slightly differently. We ran both an online focus group and developed a survey for ALPHA members. The online focus group was an opportunity for ALPHA members to meet virtually and learn about the FReDA study and what feedback was required and the survey was developed for ALPHA members to provide feedback. The FReDA study asked for feedback on the child information sheets and consent forms. In particular, they would like to know if these documents are: • Language pitched at the right level? • Tips on how to improve the design of the information sheets? • Is it clear that participants will be randomly allocated to one of two groups? • This information will be given to participants on cards detailing where they can get support, is it enough or should we add this information at the end of the sheet as well? |

| Results and Impact | Caroline Wright is a researcher from Bristol University who specialises in longitudinal patterns, predictors and outcomes of multiple cancer risk exposures (MCRE) during adolescence. Caroline would like to do some qualitative work regarding some research they have done on the ALSPAC cohort, which looks at adolescent health risk behaviours. The research has shown that young adult cancer risk exposures originate in adolescence and that poor life style choices can potentially lead to more serious health concerns such as cancer. The aim of the session was to find out what ALPHA thought about the study results, and what they thought the researchers should do in response to them. |

| Results and 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 more in a more generalised capacity or focus in on other specific circumstances should the situation demand it. ALPHA provided feedback and thoughts on the toolkit, to ensure that the resource is as relevant and useful to young people as it can be. We had a small amount of time to feedback on this therefore we decided to run a survey and not organise an online focus group, it also allowed ALPHA members could feedback in their own time. The feedback helped shape the toolkit and enabled welsh Government to make changes that will make the toolkit more suitable and applicable for other young people. |

| Results and Impact | ALPHA met with Dr Katherine Lutteroth and Dr Gavin Malloch from the UK Medical Research Council to look at the Adolescence Health Study (AHS). The study will actively involve and sign up around 100,00 young people aged 8-18 years old throughout the UK. Adolescence is the age where children and young people experience and see big changes in their life around their identity, risk taking behaviours and see changes in both physical and mental health. These changes can be influenced by social and environmental factors. AHS will look at how adolescence links to behaviours and life choices later on in life. The study wants to collect small amounts of samples such as saliva and blood samples and also collect data via wearables such as a Fitbit and the use of apps on your phone. This will link social and cognitive behaviours and look at how social behaviours underpin physical changes. |

In July 2014 ALPHA requested to have a copy of the 2013/2014 survey to review the content and design. Currently the research officer who runs the group is producing a feedback report that will be shared with the HBSC international community. Also the young people's views will be used to plan how young people can be involved in directing the survey for the next cycle of data collection. Young people have a good knowledge of the survey and how social research is run in schools. Their views will be used to tailor a research bid to host the HBSC for the next cycle of data collection. |

| Results and Impact | Caroline Wright visited the ALPHA, young people's advisory group, residential from Bristol University to discuss how behaviours and events in early life can lead to an increased or decreased risk of cancer in later life. This can include active behaviours but also inactive behaviour where there is a risk over not doing something, and this is particularly important to study among young people where many of these behaviours can begin. The group discussed how particular behaviours cluster together meaning that young people who engage in one behaviour often engage in others - we call this Multiple Risk Behaviours (MRB). Lastly, Caroline was interested in ALPHA's views on why young people continue to engage in these behaviours even when they know the risks. |

| Results and Impact | This youth consultation was run slightly differently to our normal practice as we wanted to hear from service experienced youth groups as well as our ALPHA group. For this, we contacted Kings College London's Young People's Mental Health Advisory Group (YPMHAG). Jordan Van Godwin (JVG) met with ALPHA and YPMHAG to discuss the strengthening schools to optimise adolescent wellbeing and mental health outcomes funding bid. These bid development sessions, sought the views and opinions from the youth group in order to help to refine the funding application. Background to the funding bid Mental disorders affect 1 in 8 young people and typical interventions are focused on treatment rather than prevention. These treatments often involve psychological therapies, which tend to be expensive and have limited availability. Even if these interventions are available further barriers such as mental health stigma, regarding young people accessing help, and therapy relying on good language and cognitive abilities, which can be very challenging for high-risk young people with certain conditions. Change is need with a focus on early intervention and prevention. An alternative approach is to explore and make changes to the social environment around adolescents. Schools represent one of the most important environments for adolescents and can provide change that can be applied to relatively large groups of young people from different backgrounds and with different needs. Aim of the sessions The aim of the session was to find out what the young people thought about the plans for the programme of research and to help identify the right approach for developing a mental health service experienced Youth Advisory Group (YAG). Due to timing constraints, 90minutes with ALPHA and 45 minutes with YPMHAG, we had to adapt the sessions to suit the times accordingly. This meant that the YPMHAG session had to focus on one aspect of the planned consultation, we therefore spent the majority of the time discussing the project and getting their views on this and what we need to be aware of. Although we didn't have enough time to discuss the development of a YAG we did touch upon this and ask for their feedback on the most suitable approaches for establishing this group. |

| Results and Impact | The aim of this project is to improve the health of young people (aged 11-18) in secondary schools. Many health problems begin during the secondary school period and often carry on throughout a person's life. Secondary schools improve young people's health by giving information in lessons, making school a happy place to be in, and providing support when students experience health problems such as mental health issues. Researchers collect information about which health problems young people are experiencing and what things help to improve them. Members of the public have important ideas about which health issues need to be researched, and how results from research should be used to improve young people's health. Lots of research on young people's health takes place in schools without taking a Citizen Science approach (involving members of the public). We will work with young people and parents/carers (Citizen Science approach) so that they can help us decide which problems our questionnaire should look at, and how to use our results to make things better in schools. ALPHA were involved to review the application and provide feedback on the two citizen science approaches, the national group and local school based groups. |

When we say public involvement we mean involvement in directing research: 'Involvement in research refers to the active engagement of children, young people, their carers and families with research and researchers. It is the belief of DECIPHer that research should be undertaken with the public, rather than to or on them'. The Implementation Plan for 2016-17 is currently being finalised and this session was an opportunity for the staff to introduce the new draft plan and see if ALPHA members agreed with the objectives. Comments from the session will be used to finalise the draft plan for the next two years, before it is sent to the DECIPHer Executive for approval. |

This will mean that a small number of teachers and students (about 6 individuals in each school) in three secondary schools will be given training on action research methods, and supported by Hayley throughout a school year to involve larger numbers of the student population in a cycle of 'Look, Think, Act'. Look - The action researchers will collect data from other school students through action research methods they have been trained in. These methods could be surveys, interviews, walking tours or through photography etc. depending on what the action researchers decide. They will collect data about young people's thoughts on what is important for wellbeing in the school, how is this already being addressed and how to tackle areas not already being addressed. Think - The action researchers will develop up an action research group of students to look at the data with them and develop an action plan to highlight the good practice and make change in the school to aid wellbeing in students. Act - The action researchers will put the action plan in place. Hayley's role will be to train the action researchers, support them throughout the project and to collect data on each school to help her understand if this is a good approach to targeting wellbeing in secondary schools. ALPHA were asked to give their feedback on the feasibility and acceptability of the PhD idea, particularly if the project methodology is ok for secondary schools. |

| Results and Impact | Dr Ria Poole came to speak to ALPHA about a funding bid that is being developed on e-cigarettes in public spaces, and whether vaping can renormalize smoking. We had a discussion about if ALPHA perceptions differ towards people who smoke or vape, and where the group see people smoking and vaping. ALPHA reviewed a research project that will compare Wales, where there will be a ban on vaping in public spaces, with Scotland where no ban is planned. ALPHA advised how young people could be approached to take part, potential questions for participants, and how ALPHA could be involved in the project if it is funded. |

Also Rhiannon ran a session at the film showing about mental health support in schools. The ALPHA session focused on how schools support young people who are, or who are at risk of, self-harm but Rhiannon also wanted young people to think about other ways we could support young people. For other support outside of school we asked: ? How would the support work in the setting? ? Who needs to be involved in the setting? ? What resources are needed to offer support in this setting? ? What will hold back offering support in this setting? |

| Results and Impact | Kim Madden and Jemma Hawkins from Cardiff University came to speak to ALPHA about ASSIST+Frank. Some young people were familiar with ASSIST, a peer education project where students elect influential young people to receive training in the risks of smoking, and informally educate others when they return to school. The work was very successful in reducing the uptake of smoking and encouraging young people to quit. +Frank builds on the initial project and works with young people who have already been involved in ASSIST. It uses similar methods but with a focus on the risks around taking drugs. We ran through four of the activities with ALPHA and requested their feedback about what was good and what could be improved. Future school workshops activities were trialled with group, in order to asses whether it was informative, engaging and educational for young people. |

| Results and Impact | Ruth Turley is developing research on how decisions are made in schools and whether research evidence informs school decisions. She was keen to speak to ALPHA about how they have their voice heard in schools and whether their opinions are asked for and valued. ALPHA shared the approaches in their schools to listen to and involve young people, whether through school councils or other approaches. It was clear that each school had a different approach. Young people discussed who the key decision makers are in schools (e.g. teachers, governors, pupils), and contributed heavily on the topics of schools councils and other ways that young people can influence decision making. The views of ALPHA will help to shape the further development of the project. |

| Results and Impact | Joan Roberts came to meet with ALPHA about SHRN, a network of 69 secondary schools in Wales that support young people's health. Young people in the participating schools complete a survey on a diverse range of public health topics such as diet, physical activity, wellbeing and smoking. The results are developed into a report specific to that school about the health of their young people. The report also gives data about the health of young people at a national level and some useful evidence about each health topic. It is hoped that schools will use these reports to inform how they focus their work with young people on health issues. This was the third session ALPHA have informed SHRN and Joan was keen to recap on the groups previous involvement and impact on the network, before gathering views on the reports. The initial funding for the network is coming to an end in June however further funding will extend the network for two years. Therefore ALPHA was also consulted on different methods to involve young people in SHRN during the second round of funding. ALPHA supported the idea of a regular young people's group to inform ALPHA. They suggested their own model of what this could look like. |

Having discussed the potential impacts of StreetGames, ALPHA discussed the potential for young people to evaluate their own distance travelled, and for workers to evaluate social and communication benefits. The researchers took the views from ALPHA to inform potential evaluations of StreetGames and specifically the kind of activities that could be used to identify distance travelled and change. The researchers will now be working with StreetGames to run a similar exercise to see what they feel should be involved in an evaluation. |

The research will evaluate if the project is delivered as planned and how acceptable students and staff think the project is. The researchers asked the group to: 1. Review the consent form and information leaflet they will give to young people. 2. Discuss how to get more young people to complete the survey in September 2015. 3. Discuss how they should conduct the focus groups they plan to run with students. 4. Give opinions on e-cigarettes and how they are currently being used by young people. The group felt the consent form and leaflet were suitable with minor changes. They suggested changing communication methods as a way to involve more young people and informed the focus group content. At the end they discussed e-cigarettes to inform a future project |

The work is focused on what influences our food choices as children, young people and as adults (0-25 years old), and whether early experiences of food influence future eating habits. The young people present wrote on post-its what they think influenced diet and added them to a timeline on the wall. The young people fed back very clearly that the biggest influence on diet in later life is due to family and home life. This has led to the significant rethinking of the project which was initially to be concentrated on schools. |

| Results and Impact | Previous research has found that Personal, Social Education (PSE) may increase young people's health knowledge but it does not change their health behaviours. In DECIPHer we found teachers and students would like PSE to: give young people options; let them work in small groups; involve peer support; be confidential; be run by engaging and trustworthy facilitators; be in a respectful environment. Therefore we did a small pilot of GROMIT which is a way for young people to be involved in activities about alcohol during PSE that allows them to talk in groups about what they already know on the subject, discuss their existing knowledge, consider choices made previously and anonymously raise issues. Our initial work showed some success however we would like to conduct a further study with more young people to see if it can be run in schools with three changes. We based our discussion around the changes we want to make. ALPHA discussed the 3 changes to GROMIT that came out of the pilot and whether they support them. |

The purpose of the research is to find out how to run the SaFE intervention in further education colleges and sixth forms. The intervention has four parts: 1 - Student-led action groups which allow students to review policies and practice about safe sex and relationships. 2 - Sexual health services on-site to provide advice and contraception. 3 - Staff training so they can promote appropriate messages to young people. 4 - Sex and relationships education to be delivered to the young people. The research team will be running focus groups in colleges and sixth forms to find out what each intervention part should be. We asked ALPHA to think of the questions we could ask in the focus groups. Group shaped the content and terminology of future young people's focus groups on the project, and informed the planning of an additional funding bid on healthy relationships and domestic violence. |

| Results and Impact | In collaboration with HCRW we ran training on how to involve young people in the design and conduct of research. This training course will provide participants with an understanding of how to involve children and young people in the design and conduct of research. The course will be split into three parts: 1. The principles of and approaches to involving children and young people in research. 2. Case study examples to illustrate the key approaches, what facilitates and what can hinder public involvement, and the possible impacts. 3. Practical session where delegates can apply learning to develop a plan for involving children/young people in their own current research projects or research ideas. Following the training, participants will be able to: • Identify the Principles and Practice of involving children and young people in research • Identify practical methods, facilitators, barriers, and the impact of involving young people. • Knowledge on how to develop strategies for researcher to involve young people |

| Results and Impact | We held a meeting with the national service Director for the Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) specialist home visiting service, members of her team, associated research / leads from the third sector Dartington Social Research Unit and the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation trust, and the FNP programme developer (Prof David Olds, who developed the programme as the Nurse Family Partnership in the US where the programme is nationally led by a comparable National Service Office). The meeting had two primary aims. First was to share (more) preliminary results with the invited parties. For FNP leads this was an update to a previous engagement meeting. For new invitees (namely Prof Olds) this was his first insight to the medium term benefits being accrued to families in receipt of the intervention (as part of our ongoing study based on the Building Blocks cohort). The second aim was to discuss and enable a joint communication plan regarding study results. The research team already have a dissemination and engagement plan, so the focus of this part of the meeting was to review and plan activity either solely undertaken by the research team or in collaboration with the FNP NU. Such planning is critical to FNP NU as current local sites (local authorities in England) will be making decisions (on a rolling basis) about commissioning of FNP (ie to continue, to stop or possibly to re-commission after a period of cessation). The meeting has now led to further planning for engagement activities which are likely to involve the research team and FNP NU working in collaboration. Although results shared the meeting was in confidence, it will have informed further research, service implementation and understanding of the programme not only in England but also internationally (as Building Blocks is the largest trial reported to date of a programme (and variants) trialled in several countries including the US, Holland, Canada and Germany). |

| Results and Impact | We presented and discussed preliminary results of the current study to the Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) national service unit leads. They are responsible for the national strategic support of FNP (specialist home visiting service) in England. This includes training and support, research and evaluation and innovation. They are led by a consortium of partners including the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, Dartington Social Research Unit and Impetus. They are commissioned by the Department of Health and Public Health England. The meeting provided in confidence to the Director, Communications lead and others from the FNP NU results of the study showing programme impact up to age six years old. Outcomes included maltreatment and child health, development and education. This provided the FNP NU with a clear picture of what results will be placed in the public domain at the end of the study. The results are critical to future policy decision-making for FNP in England and therefore potential funding, as well important for messaging to current sites providing FNP across the country (and nurses delivering the programme and their clients). We expect therefore that the engagement activity will enable to FNP NU to develop their communications strategy (to all stakeholders), to inform their strategic planning, to inform their current and future programme of innovation and programme of adaptation. |

PHE are the license holder for the Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) and also provide funding to the FNP national service unit in England. The meeting shared results of the current study which has assessed impact of the FNP specialist home visiting programme up to age six of children born to mothers in our earlier Building Blocks trial of FNP. This meeting was the culmination of dialogue between the research team and PHE. The meeting was timed (ahead of study completion and prior to academic peer review) to enable PHE to incorporate emerging findings into their recommendation to the responsible Minister (for Health) in England about service re-commissioning. Our evidence (which represents the most substantial and relevant new evidence on programme impact) was incorporated into the recommendations to the Minister. The FNP NU is one of the two largest projects funded through PHE and is policy priority area. |

| Results and Impact | The idea for this Summer School was conceived during an international workshop on "Evidence-Based Public Health: Concepts and Methods", held at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) Munich in November 2010. Following on from direct and indirect feedback from this workshop and through consultation with international colleagues working in public health and evidence synthesis, a distinct requirement for training in evidence-based public health was identified. In response to this, the European Summer School in Evidence-Based Public Health has evolved as a collaboration between the LMU Munich (Dr Eva Rehfuess) and the University of Liverpool (Dr Daniel Pope). Including eminent speakers in the field of Evidence-Based Public Health, the Summer School takes place on a regular basis in either Liverpool or Munich. The European Summer School on Evidence-Based Public Health has the following objectives: • To learn about the principles of the evolving field of evidence-based public health through the use of worked examples. • To embrace concepts of "complex interventions" and "complex systems" and to understand how these concepts affect evaluation of public health interventions in primary research and evidence synthesis. • To understand the process, conduct and dissemination of systematic reviews in public health, focusing on quantitative reviews but being aware of qualitative/mixed-method and theory reviews. • To get to know the GRADE approach as a means of assessing the quality of a body of evidence. • To appreciate challenges of and different approaches to translating evidence into public health into policy and practice. The Summer School includes: • Keynote presentations from European experts in the field of evidence-based public health, followed by group discussions. • Instruction in the conduct of systematic reviews and meta-analysis using examples that cover a variety of public health areas. • Small group exercises and practice sessions in conceptualisation and evaluation of complex interventions, critical appraisal of published studies, meta-analysis and the application of the GRADE approach. |

| Results and Impact | There is a growing interest in the use of historical artefacts as an entry into conversation about sensitive public health topics; research has shown that historical artefacts used to discuss how sexual practices and conventions have changed can prompt young people to discuss their own views, ideas and concerns. Our cross-disciplinary project uses glass feeding bottles, tins of formula milk, breast-pumps, shawls, old advertisements and advice manuals, as well as images of Welsh mothers feeding during different historical periods, to provide a non-directive opening for reflection and conversation about the ways that babies have been fed at different times. We had well over 100 visitors to the stand. Formal feedback indicates that participants responded positively to the exhibition, whether their own children has been breastfed or bottle-fed. Participants provided new information about artefacts and pointed to gaps in our collection. |

| Results and Impact | With an in-depth understanding of the School Holiday Enrichment Programme (SHEP), Dr Linda McConnon was invited to present the evaluation findings at the Mayor's Fund for London, Kitchen Social Quality Assurance Mark and Evaluation Think Tank hosted by Brakes, Covent Garden, London. Amongst others, attendees included representatives from: Holiday Kitchen, MakeLunch, Futureversity, The Trussell Trust, and Big Lottery. Lindsay Graham, an independent school food and health advisor chaired the event, and Linda contributed to key discussions focussed on creating a set of guiding principles and assessment criteria to ensure future holiday provision can be quality assured. Reflecting on Linda's presentation of the outcomes of SHEP, attendees also agreed a range of baseline measures and evaluation data collection methods which are transferable to all organisations running holiday provision. The outcome of the event has further impacted on developing a better understanding of tackling holiday hunger throughout the UK and informed evidence presented to the Frank Field's enquiry 'Feeding Britain' and the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Hunger. Welsh Local Government Association also submitted written evidence from Cardiff University's 2016 SHEP evaluation report to the enquiry. The outcome of enquiry led the APPG to publish a report on hunger amongst children during school holidays - Hungry Holidays (2017). Cardiff University's evaluation findings were cited throughout the report, making a significant contribution to understanding the implications of poverty and deprivation and the positive impacts that summer holiday provision can have on children's activity levels, diet, social isolation, and opportunities for learning and engagement with school. |

The group (with a rolling membership) have worked with some members of the research team on the Building Blocks trial which was the precursor to the NIHR PHR-funded Buildings Blocks 2-6 study. One researcher on the team has run focus groups with women from the group to explore different aspects of working with sensitive medical record data (specifically maltreatment) as part of her own PhD studies. Two other researchers have met with the group as part of a programme of involvement activity across the study. This will address a variety of relevant issues including lay understanding of routine data, its linkage for research, confidentiality issues and as the study progresses ways in which findings from the research may be further interpreted and broadly disseminated. From early meetings key issues (of concern) relate to data security but there is also support for the use of such data within a context of initial lack of familiarity. |

| Results and Impact | Pandora Pound and Rona Campbell from Bristol University are trying to develop the perfect sexual health and relationship education (SRE) programme for young people. They spent a year reviewing existing evidence, as well as collecting new evidence, to identify the characteristics of good SRE. There were areas of uncertainty, lack of agreement and/or lack of evidence. So researchers came to discuss these areas with ALPHA. ALPHA discussed the queries that were brought to the session and gave their perspectives. In the feedback the researchers note that it is not always their decision when implementing programmes but will add ALPHA notes to final report to highlight young people's wishes. For example, although young people are very clearly saying they don't want teachers to deliver sex education, there is a very strong view among professionals that teachers should deliver sex education. The issue is whether professionals are prepared to take the evidence from young people on board. |

The oral presentation was for 12 minutes with 3 minutes questions and discussion at the end. In the questios session at the end of the presentation, a member of the audience mentioned that this member had heard about self-asphyxial risk-taking behaviour ("the Choking game") not through her local authority, but through her children who told her about this at school. This gave an indication that this might be an activity present in the UK as well, where no official data on this behaviour has yet been published. When asking the audience at the beginning of the presentation, about 40% indicated to have heard about this before. |

After the talk I discussed further with Dr Mark Pietroni (Director of Public Health in South Gloucestershire) how we can work with the CLARHC to bring together research to support the planners in South Gloucestershire and North Somerset to design health and obesity prevention into the new urban developments in these areas. |

| Results and Impact | On 4th September 2019 I travelled, by invitation, to the House of Commons to contribute to a policy roundtable discussion on the provision of free school breakfast. I was invited by an organisation called, 'Magic Breakfast', founded by Carmel McConnell MBE. During the meeting, we heard from a variety of stakeholders, such as a school principal who outlined her experience of delivering school breakfasts and her perceptions of how they have impacted upon health and wellbeing and education. I was also asked to give a 5 minute overview of our research showing a link between breakfast consumption and educational outcomes among 9-11 year old children (https://bit.ly/2m0DbRm). In attendance were MP Nicky Morgan and MP Angela Raynor, so this provided a real chance to use our research findings to advocate for government funding for universal free school breakfast and to highlight that efforts to improve both education and health are aligned. It was brilliant to see so many school breakfast advocates in one room, all putting forward eloquent and convincing arguments. By the end of the meeting, it seemed obvious that everyone agreed that breakfast provision was a good idea that provided good 'bang for your buck' in relation to health and educational outcomes. It remains to be seen whether this will translate to Government policy but, since this meeting was prioritised during a particularly chaotic, Brexit-related week in parliament, I am hopeful that this will be the case. |

| Results and Impact | How do carers work with social care and health professionals to manage and prevent self-harm, and how can current inter-professional working be improved? The final session was run by Stephen Jennings, discussing his research findings. Here Stephen discussed the experiences of foster and residential carers working with other professionals to manage and prevent self-harm. The main points introduced: • The perceptions of expert knowledge: Carers had mixed feelings about expertise, where they either deferred to or contested the theoretical knowledge of clinicians. Carers provided alternative perspectives on expertise based around familiarity. • Feeling marginalised within inter-professional teams: Carers felt their contributions were often not valued and recognised. • Experience of stigma: Young people's complex health needs left both them and carers stigmatised at hospital visits after self-harm. • Positive accounts, where rapport has been established with other professionals involved: Where carers could demonstrate that they had expertise and a valuable contribution to make, this led to positive working in inter-professional teams, and this was often the result of longer-term relationships. The session was wrapped up thinking about some final points. Carers make a distinct contribution in terms of preventing and managing self-harm, and they should be given a voice and an opportunity to contribute to decisions which affect those they care for. Foster and residential carers view themselves as professionals, and their perspectives should be considered as such by others working within these teams. Either formal qualifications or informal status raising for carers were seen as potential ways of improving self-harm management and prevention in inter-professional teams. |

Delegates came to find out more about how administrative data from Wales and Scotland has been utilised to carry out research on alcohol consumption and alcohol-related harm. One focus of the event was around the change in alcohol outlet density and alcohol-related harm to population health (CHALICE), a comprehensive record-linked database study in Wales. The CHALICE study carried out a natural experiment of change in alcohol outlet density between 2006 and 2011 in Wales on alcohol consumption and alcohol related harm, using novel geographic information system (GIS), administrative and survey data linkage and statistical methods". |

| Primary Audience | Patients, carers and/or patient groups |
| Results and Impact | The University of Bristol and Cardiff University are conducting a survey to obtain feedback on how to develop the Public Involvement Component of their application to be a National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Public Health Intervention Responsive Studies Team (PHIRST). The PHIRST will work alongside local governments to co-produce and conduct public health research of existing or planned interventions, with the aim of producing robust evidence to inform future policy making and commissioning decisions. A key requirement of the initiative is to achieve impacts through public health policy and practice. A requirement of the application for the NIHR PHIRST study was to describe how patients and the public have been involved in developing the proposal and how patients and the public will be involved throughout the duration or the proposed research. For this we developed a series of question that incorporated the National Standards for Public Involvement in Research developed by the Public Health Agency, Chief Scientist Office, Health and Care Research Wales and the NIHR. These standards were used to assess our outline plans to involve and engage the public throughout the research, it was produced with the aim of asking lay members to describe how our PHIRST study team can incorporate the National Standards for Public Involvement. We set a series of questions relating to each National standard, that encouraged the lay representatives to identify what is required to demonstrate good practice and advice on how we can meet these standards. The standards are broken down into 6 sections: 1. Inclusive opportunities - Offer public involvement opportunities that are accessible and that reach people and groups according to research needs. 2. Working together - work together in a way that values all contributions, and that builds and sustains mutually respectful and productive relationships. 3. Support and learning - Offer and promote support and learning that builds confidence and skills for public involvement in research. 4. Communications - Use Plain language for timely, two way and targeted communications, as part of involvement plans and activities. 5. Impact - Drive improvement, by capturing and sharing the difference that public involvement makes to research. 6. Governance - Involve the public in governance and leadership so that the decisions promote and protect the public interest. The standards provide a framework for reflecting on and improving the purpose, quality and consistency of Public Involvement in research. They describe the building blocks for good Public Involvement and provide a baseline of expectations. Due to recent developments with COVID-19, this consultation was managed slightly differently. Previously, we planned to run a two-hour workshop with a group of lay members to discuss the Public Involvement and Engagement requirements of the NIHR application. However, due the advice on social distancing we amended the focus group to a survey setting. This survey was adapted slightly but included all the relevant details, information and questions that was designed to run for the focus groups. We worked closely with the Health and Care Research Wales Public Involvement Community team to recruit lay representatives to provide consultation and feedback on our survey. The reasons why we worked with this group is because they are a national organisation who bring together members of the public from across Wales that are interested in working with researchers to improve treatments and care. Members of the public have a real impact on research carried out in Wales and have a wide range of interest areas from cancer, mental health and diabetes, to ageing and emergency care. Heath and Care Research Wales, Public Involvement Community have access to: • The latest opportunities to get involved in research in Wales • A wide range of training • Support with expenses and payment for time • Regular bulletins • Support and guidance Health and Care Research Wales informed lay representatives from the Public Involvement Community about the PHIRST NIHR application and the request for feedback on this survey. Only lay representatives who are associated with the Public Involvement community team and submitted an expression of interest to being involved were given access to this password protected survey. The survey was live for 7 days between the 26/03/2020 - 02/04/2020 and we received 7 responses. The involvement of the lay representatives at this stage has helped to develop this proposal by outlining the plans of how we will involve members of the public throughout the duration of the project. |

| Results and Impact | This workshop explores how researchers can involve members of the public in the design and conduct of Prevention Science studies. It will consider ways of consulting the public on aspects of the research process such as: research aims and questions; study procedures (e.g. information for participants), recruitment strategies; and data analysis and dissemination activities. The workshop will consider three key questions: - What are the potential benefits of public involvement (for research, and for members of the public)? - How best should public involvement be planned and undertaken? - What are some of the key challenges to undertaking high quality public involvement, and how can they be addressed? |

| Results and Impact | One component of our planned work is public engagement. In relation to the currently described activity this aims to: (i) develop materials to engage with the public about the research methods being used in the study (principally the use of routine data) and (ii) to develop messaging about the main study results and consider media / formats for dissemination and engagement. Activity has involved engagement with different lay groups including Our Place (and educational support groups based in Pontypridd for young mothers), ALPHA (a standing group of young people in Cardiff coordinated by DECIPHer who provide advise and feedback to researchers on their research studies) and FNP service providers and clients in the West of England. Different meeting formats have been used to engage with these groups (although FNP clients have been less successfully followed up so far). Work funded by the study and greatly benefiting from the lay input to date has included the development of an animation explaining the use of routine data which can be now further exploited both the the study's needs but more broadly. We have won some additional funding from the Wellcome Trust to support this activity. |

This was a very successful event and plans are already underway for another event next year. A key outcome was clear evidence that in spite of all the changes there is still a strong interest amongst schools and LAs in health promotion work. There was subsequently a meeting in the Bristol Medical School to discuss how we might take the healthy schools research agenda forward and whether there was any appetite to try to develop the kind of network schools health research network that they have evolved in Wales. These discussions will likely continue. |

They would like to briefly present these ideas to the NMG for advice and suggestions. Please remember that this research will be led by the YAG and, as long as it meets the criteria above, YAG members will make final decisions about their research. The YAG will be looking at how professionals and support workers who provide mental health services to young people deal with and understand the life experiences of the young people they work with - with particular reference to protected characteristics and intersectionality. This idea emerges from YAG members working with support workers who they feel don't understand their life experiences and identities. YAG members are curious as to what would help professionals to better understand their lives and whether it might be good to link young people and support workers who have the same protected characteristics and/or experience. |

| Results and Impact | The Transdisciplinary Research for the Improvement of Youth Mental Public Health (TRIUMPH) Network will bring together young people (aged 10-24 years) with academics from across clinical, social sciences, arts and humanities, design, and computer sciences disciplines in sustained collaboration with practitioners, policy-makers and multi-sectoral public and third sector partners to develop new transdisciplinary understandings and novel, scalable, intervention approaches to improve mental health and wellbeing, especially among vulnerable and disadvantaged populations. We have four broad objectives to better understand and improve young people's mental health and wellbeing: 1. To develop effective transdisciplinary, solution-focused partnerships with academics, policy makers, practitioners and young people across the four nations of the UK 2. To undertake agenda setting and intervention development activities with a sustained focus on creating transdisciplinary capacity 3. To generate novel transdisciplinary understanding of critical social, behavioural, organisational, environmental and cultural determinants of mental health among young people 4. To undertake transdisciplinary co-production to develop, evaluate and implement effective and sustainable interventions to accelerate progress in improving youth mental health We will target our efforts at marginalised groups with the greatest health needs, the peer groups and social networks with strongest influence on health behaviours in adolescence, and the schools and alternative education settings in which a system-level approach could have most influence. Understanding the complex mechanisms shaping health is the starting point, rather than following a more traditional discipline-led investigation of particular risk factors or outcomes. We will seek to work with other networks, especially those with complementary expertise on the determinants of adolescent health and wellbeing, the digital environment and interventions. Working across disciplinary boundaries and with young people from development through to translation of interventions will ensure insights from a diverse knowledge base. It will facilitate a better understanding of the causal mechanisms of change - the active ingredients - for the innovative interventions that we develop, evaluate and ultimately, where successful, take forward to implement at scale in real world social contexts to improve youth mental health and wellbeing. We held a weekend long residential in Glasgow for the TRIUMPH Youth Advisory Group (YAG).The key objectives of the Youth Advisory Group are to: 1 - Involve young people in the strategic development of TRIUMPH; 2 - Involve young people in identifying priorities for research and getting involved in the research process within individual projects; 3 - Increase awareness and opportunities for young people's meaningful participation in the network's work; 4. Develop the capacity within TRIUMPH to involve young people in its work. The aim of this residential is to set the importance of young people's participation from the beginning of the network by meaningfully involving young people in discussions about the development of the network. The key objectives of this residential are: 1. Get to know each other and build a strong YAG team for working with TRIUMPH 2. Develop a clear understanding of the role of the YAG how the YAG will work with the NMG 3. Start working on a strategy for young people's wider involvement in the network 4. Develop a plan for the young people's section of the TRIUMPH website and how to take this forward As part of the Youth Advisory Group (YAG) you will take part in workshops and focus groups in Glasgow. Here you will meet with 12 other young people from different parts of the UK, 3 youth workers, 6 researchers and a workshop facilitator. |

| Geographic Reach | International |
| Primary Audience | Professional Practitioners |
| Results and Impact | The presentation will explore different understandings about how breastfeeding peer support 'works' and will unpick findings from experimental studies. Heather brings together findings from a realist review of experimental studies with the perspectives of parents, peer supporters, health professionals and policy makers, which she has gathered, through interviews and focus groups. Taking a realist approach to interpreting this evidence, Heather engages us in identifying and evaluating different understandings about what exactly it is that peer supporters do - noting that this extends well beyond what happens in an individual one-to-on encounter. She also draws lessons about the wider service and societal conditions that are necessary if peer supporters are to be empowered to make a real difference to mothers. The presentation asks us to critically reflect on the 'goal' of peer support intervention (and indeed on the 'goal' of infant feeding policy) - and to consider whether a top-down public health-led approach is sufficiently aligned either with the role of peer supporters or with the lived experience of the women who seek support. |

| Results and Impact | Disaster and emergency situations - floods, fires, terrorist attacks and widespread power failures - can affect any country, including the UK. In any disaster or emergency, babies are vulnerable and continued access to adequate and safe nutrition is essential. Families need support to ensure that children continue to be cared for and fed in line with their needs. We argued that there is an urgent need to develop national guidance on the care of infants or young children in case of emergency. UK governments need to ensure infant and child nutrition is protected as part of the planned new strategy for resilience in major disasters. Extensive re-tweeting and Facebook sharing. Issue has been picked up by All Parliamentary Group on Infant Feeding. |

| Results and Impact | If I Were Jack is a project about teenage pregnancy but it is from the perspective of Jack, the young man in the relationship. It was originally developed as a trial several years ago in Northern Ireland for year 10 students as a 4 session project for use in schools. The purpose of this residential was to update and produce a new video which is culturally relevant for the whole of the UK. The aim of this residential meeting was to gather thoughts and feedback from the YP on the original "If I were Jack" IVD. The feedback from YP to update the IVD to film two new videos which are more culturally relevant for today's teenagers. The weekend included interactive focus groups, workshops and debates designed to gather qualitative data from the YP. These workshops encouraged in-depth and thought provoking discussions and allowed each YP to have their opinions and voices heard. The residential weekend comprised of a number of different workshops and focus groups designed to help facilitate discussion for the YP. The first workshop was an opportunity for the YP to watch the original video and provide their initial overall thoughts and opinions. The remaining sessions aimed to gather more thorough and concise responses. The YP discussed the following themes: technology/music, dress code, language used, Filming location/scenarios and Cultural representations, and made changes which were more suitable and appropriate for 2017 and their country. The feedback from the YP was written up and reported back to Queens University Belfast and the filming company who will use this information to produce a new more culturally relevant video. |

| Results and Impact | Many women for whom breastfeeding is going well are told they cannot breastfeed while taking medication. In some case, this is perfectly justified - and women who are breastfeeding should always seek professional advice before taking any medication. But research has shown that many medications are safe to take while breastfeeding. Despite this, some mothers are told that they must stop breastfeeding their baby when prescribed a new treatment, even when that treatment actually poses no risk to either them or their baby. |

| Results and Impact | Positive Choices 2. School based intervention with the aims of promoting sexual health and preventing unintended teenage pregnancies. The project will have several elements including a student's needs survey for Year 8 pupils, a council of staff and pupils who will together plan and deliver the project, relationship and sex education, and engagement with parents through newsletters and homework assignment. The project will also include a student led marketing campaign promoting key messages in sexual health. Having introduced the project, the ALPHA session focused on 2 parts of the project. Firstly members commented on an information sheet for parents on the new project, and then discussed how we can make long-term parent engagement work well for the project. This was followed by discussing the idea of pupils leading on social marketing campaign for students, including how this could be done and any possible challenges. ALPHAs involvement has helped refine the intervention and enabled the study to proceed to Part 3 where they'll be trailing in 6 schools across south east England. |

| Results and Impact | During this session the ALPHA members were engaged in three studies: 1. The School Health Research Network brings together secondary schools and researchers, policy-makers and practitioners from health, education and social care to improve young people's health and wellbeing in the school setting. Every two years, schools in the Network are invited to take part in a Student Health and Wellbeing Survey. Schools that take part receive a Student Health and Wellbeing Report which feeds back data on their students to help schools' work on improving young people's health and wellbeing. The Student Health and Wellbeing Survey will run again in autumn 2017. SHRN want to make a video for schools to show to their students before they do the survey which explains why we are asking for identifiable information, how their personal details will be kept safe and their right to refuse. ALPHA were asked to help by: • Reviewing the material SHRN write for the video to ensure that it is clear, comprehensive and suitable for young people aged 11-18 • One of two ALPHA members volunteering to be presenters in the video (March/April) 2. This study will use routinely collected survey data from England, Scotland and Wales to test effects of TPD legislation on young people's use of e-cigarettes. Our primary analyses will examine whether the current trend toward growth in e-cigarette use among young people is stunted or reversed by this legislation. These survey data will also be used to test the "renormalisation hypothesis" (i.e. the assumption that growth in use of e-cigarettes will make young people view smoking as more normal) which provides the basis for legislation. This will be achieved through obtaining historical datasets and modelling whether growth in e-cigarette use has begun to influence trends in young people's smoking (which has been falling steadily since the turn of the century). This session was an opportunity for ALPHA to have a first look at the questions being used for the interviews with young people. The group were asked to go through the questions, information sheets and interview schedule and provide feedback on style, language and content. The findings from this ALPHA session will help inform plans for updating the questions and information sheets. 3. A researcher asked the ALPHA team to review the smoking and E-cigarette questionnaires which are being asked alongside the School and Health Research Network (SHRN) survey. The ALPHA group were instructed to fill out the whole questionnaire but only critique the questions highlighted in red. The feedback from the ALPHA group will allow for these questions to be tailored to more applicable with younger people aged 11-18. |

| Results and Impact | Researchers from the Clinical Trials Unit (CTY) came to meet ALPHA to discuss two elements of the Building Blocks: 2-6 study. The study is a follow on from the previous Building Blocks study which is a programme of home visits by specially trained nurses (called the Family Nurse Partnership or FNP). It aims to support young mums expecting their first child. The programme was compared to usual health and social care in a study involving 18 English centres and followed children until they were two years old. The Building Blocks: 2-6 study follows the same child until they turn 6 using only routinely collected health & education data. The study will use this information to explore the long term effects of extra home visits from family nurses versus current practice. Researchers from the CTU meet ALPHA to discuss two elements of this project. The two parts were identifying how to describe the primary and secondary outcomes to lay readers; and to develop a story line for an animation video explaining data linkage. |

| Results and Impact | We invited the ALPHA advisory group to review an existing study called "if I were Jack" which is an interactive video drama which looks at teenage pregnancy from a males perspective. The aim of this session were to determine the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of the If I were Jack intervention in reducing rates of unprotected sex among teenagers under 16 years of age and to better understand the contextual conditions of intervention effectiveness through a process evaluation. Participants were asked to review the interactive video to seek feedback from young people on the relevance and suitability of the revised intervention materials, specifically the interactive films. The ALPHA members thought that the concept of the video was good but felt that it was outdated and needed to be modernised. This session was an opportunity for ALPHA to have an early look at the project and the group watched the video before discussing things like style, language and content. We also talked about the questions asked in the video which were very diverse and included: • What Jack is likely to be feeling. • What his partner, friends and family might feel or say. • Views on things like babies, abortion and adoption. • What they should do about the pregnancy and what it is likely to mean for their future. The findings of the session will help inform plans for the updated film but also be used to help plan the UK meeting. |

| Results and Impact | Positive Choices is a social marketing intervention that aims to promote sexual health, prevent unintended teenage pregnancies, and reduce the current health inequalities between different groups of young people. It is for families with the aim of supporting young people and their parents to talk about sexual health. The project is still being developed and will be trialled in a single school of approximately 1,000 pupils this year. It includes several different elements including a series of informal lessons on emotions and relationships, school based sexual health clinics offering support and guidance, and campaigns which will be developed and led by the pupils. They will also complete surveys as part of the project to help assess the impact of the project. Honor Young from DECIPHer and Ruth Ponsford from LSE (London School of Economics) visited ALPHA about two parts of the project. We initially looked at the survey with ALPHA commenting on whether the questions were suitable for the pupils in terms of language and content. We then considered an event that will launch the project in the trial school with the group informing what the event could look like. |

SHEP ran a series of interviews and a consensus meetings with stakeholders to acknowledge the inconsistencies of the intervention delivery and to agree on the logic of the intervention. This ALPHA session was a chance to see if our members agreed with the stakeholders and whether they could identify anything that had not previously been thought of. Members discussed the interventions in more detail and debated on the potential benefits and concerns. ALPHA also discussed the concerns of letting the school decide what pupils are eligible for the SHEP programme and if receiving free school meal is a good indicator of what pupils are eligible. |

| Results and Impact | There is evidence that school based health interventions can reduce substance misuse among young people, but we also know that many schools are reducing these activities to instead focus on academic success. This led to DECIPHer being involved in a systematic review with the aim of strengthening the case for these interventions to continue. We started the ALPHA session by introducing systematic reviews as a method for finding all previous relevant research on a particular question, checking the quality of that research and identifying findings that come up repeatedly. Having explained systematic reviews the aim of the session was to share the findings from the review and find out if members of ALPHA agreed and why. |

| Results and Impact | Self-harm amongst children and young people is a growing issue with 18,788 hospital admission in 2015/16, an increase of 14% on 2013/14. It has been recommended that assessments should be carried out by a specialist mental health nurse but there is a lack of available services to do this. Cwm Taf University Health Board provides CAMHS (Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service) for under 18s who have been admitted with self-harm injuries. No research has been carried out on their experiences of using this service, but there is wider evidence of negative experiences of CAMHS. Sarah and Rhiannon came to see ALPHA about this project which will aim to understand the experiences of children, young people and their carers in accessing the service and the potential impact on their future. The research will lead to recommendations for service improvement. ALPHA looked over the information sheets, consent forms and support groups that will be given to the children and young people involved in the research. They then tried out three methods for helping them to discuss their experiences of the service (sandboxing, Lego and drawing). We also considered the interview questions that young people will be asked, and thought about possible logos and names for the study. |

The film screened at this event, 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower', is a story of a young person's struggles with mental health and fitting in with peers. ALPHA members had already seen the film and decided it was an appropriate way to prompt young people to think about mental health. After the screening, the young people were asked to join one of four workshops to discuss messages from the film about mental health. The workshops provided an opportunity for the young people to meet with Cardiff University researchers who talked about their research projects, giving the attendees the opportunity to voice their opinions on work currently underway. The four workshop themes were: mental health support in schools; helping young people who self-harm; designing a package/App for depression support; supporting young people who have been in hospital for mental health issues. Film is a new mechanism for DECIPHer to engage with young people and the evaluations proved this was deemed very acceptable to those that attended. |

| Results and Impact | Young people who live/lived in foster, residential or kinship care are more likely to become parents at a young age. Recent research has shown that these parents are at greater risk of experiencing social work involvement with their children and becoming separated from their children. This research project from CASCADE investigates what support is available to care experienced parents and what happens to their families. Rachael Vaughan visited from CASCADE to discuss ALPHA's understand of what support is available to Children of 'Looked After' children and what they thought should be available to them. The aim of this session was to explore the different types of support through various interactive tasks. |

| Results and Impact | This session was designed to identify and outline how DECIPHer will involve the public in its work. The findings from this ALPHA session will help support the application for the health and care research Wales infrastructure bid. Section D, Public Involvement and Engagement, of the HCRW infrastructure bid requires us to outline our plans to involve the public in our work and describe the benefits that this will bring. A requirement is to describe how our public involvement incorporates the new National Standards for Public Involvement in Research. 1. Inclusive opportunities 2. Working together 3. Support and learning 4. Communications 5. Impact 6. Governance The standards provide a framework for reflecting on and improving the quality and consistency of public involvement in research. |

| Results and Impact | Mid week research engagement session - invited to this session was work experience young people from local secondary school. Jeremy Segrott consulted with ALPHA on the Home and School Connections study. The Home and School connections study is about trying to understand the connections between the school setting and home. The session's aim is to explore ideas ALPHA suggest will help lead in terms of a funding application. ALPHA was set various tasks to look at the they define as home and what links home and school. Mark McCann and Susan Patterson from the University of Glasgow requested ALPHA to consult on their research project Net4Health. This research will explore the changes in young people's health and friendship networks in Scotland using school health data that has been collected over the past 25 years. The research they are doing this research is that the previous data that has been collected on young people's health and wellbeing and friendship networks is out of data. They consulted with ALPHA for their advice on developing the study with focus on the study materials and data collection tools, including thoughts on the questions we are going to ask and the topics we are covering in the survey. Sara Long from Cardiff University came to ALPHA to consult on her fellowship. Her fellowship will explore the integration of health and wellbeing into the school curriculum. The research will be used to see how effective the integration has been in comparison to health and wellbeing in the current curriculum. Sara consulted with ALPHA for their views and opinions on the upcoming and current curriculum by asking questions to gather feedback. |

| Results and Impact | Project Respect is a school-based programme designed to prevent violence in young people's dating and relationships. The project includes a survey which year 8 and year 9 pupils complete before completing a series of lesson-based activities (along with other intervention components) followed by a second follow up survey during year 10 and year 11. The process evaluation found that the programme wasn't very well implemented in schools. They struggled to implement certain components, particularly the school-wide components that weren't timetabled as the curriculum lessons were. Interviews with students and staff also suggested that the topic felt salient and important for adolescents but that the lessons themselves could be improved. Content addressing dating and relationship violence (DRV) might better be delivered as a component of broader Relationships and Sex Education (RSE). ALPHA was consulted on the intervention addressing DRV alone, vs. combined with a broader RSE intervention. |

| Results and Impact | Rhys is a researcher in Cardiff University with a focus on mental health and psychiatry. This is the second session that Rhys has visited ALPHA, the first being in December 2016. Rhys has developed an online support package for adolescent depression, this now includes a website as well as the app and has been developed with a focus on 3 elements (mental health education, e-health and adolescent depression). He shared how the package has been developed and the details of the pilot trial. He came to the meeting to share the app and website with ALPHA, and to get their ideas on a larger trial which is planned for later this year. |

| Results and Impact | Jemma is a research fellow at DECIPHer with an interest in school and community-based interventions for health improvement, with a focus on physical activity and mental health promotion. Jemma met with ALPHA to discuss the workings of the INCLUSIVE trial and how this could be adapted to suit schools in Wales. Bullying, aggression, and violence among children and young people are some of the most consequential public mental health problems. Childhood exposure to bullying and violence results in multiple physical and mental health harms in childhood and in adult life as well as lower educational attainment. Prevention of bullying and violence is therefore a major priority for public health and education systems internationally. The INCLUSIVE trial was developed and run by researchers in London. It is a school-based intervention based on the three most promising approaches to reducing bullying and other health risks: • Whole-school interventions aiming to modify overall school policies and systems. • Restorative practice, which aims to prevent or resolve conflicts between students or between staff and students to prevent further harms • Lessons to teach young people the skills needed to manage their emotions and relationships can enhance social relationships, improve mental health, and reduce bullying. |

| Results and Impact | Sexual behaviour in adolescents and young people evolves as part of broader developmental processes and transitions. Young people experience poorer sexual health (e.g. STIs, unplanned pregnancies, abortion and sexual violence) than older adults. However, the influences on sexual risk behaviours and adverse sexual health outcomes among young people remain poorly understood with considerable unexplained variance. Existing studies suggest that there is as much variation in sexual risk behaviour within individuals over time as between individuals at one point in time. Longitudinal studies of patterns of sexual risk trajectories are needed to understand this. Clare Taunton visited ALPHA to consult with them on this project. Clare wanted to know whether this topic and study is important to young people and if there are certain aspects within the proposal that ALPHA think are not important or other avenues to explore. A key requirement to the success of the study is recruitment and retention, therefore Clare wanted to know ALPHAs thoughts on how best to recruit people into the study and what should be offered to keep them in the study. |

| Results and Impact | DECIPHer blog to mark Young Carer Awareness Day, which celebrates the work of young carers but also campaigns for improved support. The blog is entitled "How can research shape the future of young carer services?". The purpose was to highlight the role that initial young carers research had in increasing the profile of young carers in policy and legislation, and in prompting the development of support groups across the UK. This was followed by raising questions over challenges in the area of research and how these need to be resolved for research start impacting policy and practice again. The post reflects the introduction for my PhD and the framing for the Caring Lives study It is difficult (as an online blog) to know how many people this reached but it was promoted through DECIPHer's Twitter account, with it picked up and promoted by Carers organisations in Wales and the UK. |

| Results and Impact | 4 members of ALPHA, DECIPHer's advisory group of young people, recently spent a day with Ipsos MORI researchers as they collected data in schools. The data was collected for the Health Behaviours in School-Aged Children survey and links to the work the advisory group has been undertaking with the School's Health Research Network and the Welsh Assembly Government since 2012. The young people thought it was a good insight into the real world of collecting research in schools. This will inform their knowledge of research in schools which in turn will help the young people to meaningfully comment on school research projects. The research officer leading the group and the young people have written a blog about this activity. |

| Results and Impact | DECIPHer has a PhD student looking at e-cigarette use who will be conducting interviews with young people in schools. Elen has been developing pilot interviews, and members of ALPHA took part in the one-to-one interviews. There were two elements to the involvement. The first was taking part in the interviews with ALPHA members taking part as participants and responding to questions. The second element was giving feedback on the pilot interviews with the young people commenting on anything that they found difficult to understand including language, questions they felt were unacceptable and anything else that they would change. Elen also did the same in terms of reviewing the sessions. The feedback from the day has since been used to inform and improve the interview methodology |

| Results and Impact | A workshop was delivered to around 20 participants from schools, local authority and charities with three aims: 1. to share findings from the study and allow participants' to share thoughts / learning points 2. to generate discussion among participants regarding how to address mental health in schools 3. to inform participants about local services offered to schools. Key points raised were captured, summarized and fedback to attendees. Participants commented that they were taking the learning back to the settings for future planning around mental health. The study gained valuable insights on the study and its findings from the participant perspective. We also gained permission to stay in contact about future research studies, thereby maintaining ongoing links between the University and local schools. |

| Results and Impact | DECIPHer is often asked about how we work with children and young people, and the Centre decided to develop a day long training course entitled Involving children and young people in the design and conduct of research to support other academics to involve under 25 year olds. Therefore we ran a course which was a free pilot for academics and practitioners in Wales. The aim was to give them a greater understanding of different approaches to involving children and young people, share case studies of methods, and to discuss the positive impacts of involvement and the barriers. People attending the course were then supported to plan involvement in their work. In December 15 and January 16 we ran facilitation sessions for our young people's advisory group, ALPHA, to develop their skills to co-facilitate this training. Three ALPHA members were involved in running the training course on the day. This focused on supporting the researchers to plan involvement in their own settings and giving feedback on their ideas. We had fantastic feedback from the day. Of the 17 people who came 14 rated the training as excellent and 3 as good, with feedback including that the course was interactive and fun, interesting and informative. They were especially positive about ALPHA members co-running the course. The success of the course means that it will be run again in September. The DECIPHer staff were also very positive about the involvement of ALPHA members, and we hope to increase young people's involvement in the course in future |
