Welcome to The Big Ideas, a podcast series exploring how data shapes our understanding of mental health and inequalities and how to make the collection and use of data more inclusive to inspire a more equitable future.
The podcast series is part of the Social and Economic Predictors of Severe Mental Disorders (SEP-MD) research project led by Dr Jayati Das-Munshi from King’s College London and affiliated with the ESRC Centre for Society and Mental Health and the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre.
In the launch episode, ‘Making the most of existing data’, host Milena Wuerth, Research Assistant, King’s College London is joined by Amelia Jewell, Research Informatics and Governance Lead for the Clinical Records Interactive Search (CRIS), South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, to discuss how data linkage can be like ‘patching the holes’; By linking mental health data with administrative datasets like census, the data starts to tell us about patterns of inequality in mental health. Amelia discusses some of the challenges of linking large-scale data and the importance of patient involvement in this so that data can be turned into a tool for change.

REACH Special 4: School, COVID-19 and Adolescent Mental Health
Adna, Karima, and Thai-sha are back! Join them in this special limited series produced by the Resilience, Ethnicity, and AdolesCent mental Health (REACH) project’s Young Person’s Community Champions (YPCC).
Recent research from the REACH study found that 1 in 5 pupils were experiencing difficulties with their mental health from February 2016 - January 2018: approximately 6 in a class of 30! This is much higher than what is estimated nationally. There have been so many further changes since then due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Social distancing, remote learning, changes to exams, economic impacts, and the fear of the unknown have all been challenging for young people.
In this episode, the REACH YPCC are joined by secondary school teacher, Louise, where they delve into the impacts of the pandemic on student mental health but also the effects on the mental health of teachers. Join the team in discussions about improving support for young people and teachers post-COVID along with ways to encourage a better school environment for teachers and students to seek mental health support.
