Research summary
The study is a survey of the mental wellbeing of adults living in Haringey Local Authority, conducted on behalf of Haringey Council.
This survey will follow the same methodology as the North West Mental Wellbeing Surveys undertaken in 2012/13 and 2009. The information collected will provide a baseline for Haringey to further understand how different aspects of people’s lives (health and wellbeing determinants) affect their mental wellbeing. This understanding will help identify where resources may need to be targeted in the future and support outcome measurement of local interventions. As well as covering aspects of mental wellbeing through questions from the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS), the survey will also cover a wide range of other areas, including:
• physical health and exercise
• smoking and alcohol use
• perception of place
• personal relationships
• respondent characteristics
The survey will be conducted by a commissioned social research agency. The method of administration for the survey is face to face interviews using Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) that allows the respondent to complete the questionnaires themselves on screen. Each interview takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes. The project will be an adult survey therefore people under the age of 16 will be excluded. A total sample of 1,000 has been set, with 500 across the local authority and 500 in the most deprived quintile.
This survey data along with a summary report of results is likely to be of great use to policy makers and service providers across Haringey, providing key information on where interventions might be most needed.REC name
