Understanding Information Needs Young First

项目摘要

Information informs, guides, and empowers; but persistent barriers to access and use are societally divisive and as yet not fully understood, particularly amongst marginalised groups. Addressing enduring issues of information poverty, this project seeks to better understand the information needs of young first time mothers (YFTM) aged 21 or under from deprived areas, and associated barriers, by identifying and better understanding the: everyday information needs, seeking preferences, and challenges of YFTM; and the +/- factors influencing YFTM engagement with supportive services, and the appropriate assistive intervention points and methods.The UK has one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancy in Western Europe, with associated conception rates correlated to multiple deprivation indexes. At risk groups are disadvantaged and disengaged, with significant health and wellbeing issues reported for both mother and child. Intervention programmes focus on early parenting needs with on-going holistic educational support considered key to long-term social inclusion/reintegration; however, there is evidence that mainstream services are failing to provide such support with significant unmet YFTM information needs reported, and overarching concerns raised regarding equity of access to information in both the physical and digital space.A significant challenge in addressing holistic YFTM information needs relates to our limited understanding of young peoples' everyday information needs, preferences and seeking behavior generally, and more specifically, in impoverished and/or marginalized circumstances (limiting effective tailored service design and delivery considered key to access and use). There are complex and as yet not fully understood access barriers and internalised behavioural barriers to consider, the former influenced by digital divide and information literacy issues, the latter by social structures and norms; barriers that we believe put YFTM, and in turn their children, at greater risk of becoming impoverished information outsiders, living a stratified and disengaged existence. This project, recognising the importance of information access to economic and social mobility, and health and wellbeing; will comprehensively identify and investigate YFTM information needs, seeking preferences and challenges, and advance our understanding of the +/- factors influencing engagement of marginalised groups in both the physical and digital space, including appropriate assistive intervention points and strategies to not only meet immediate needs, but to foster independent lifelong learning and on-going social inclusion. Output will guide both policy (what to provide and from whom) and process (how to provide) of public information service providers (including collaborative aspects).This project, which will bring together theories of social capital and social networks with theories and models of information behaviour to address issues of information poverty in both the physical and digital space; aligns with ESRC strategic priority influencing behaviour and informing interventions, and associated questions: how to understand behaviour and risks at multiple levels and a variety of contexts; how and why do behaviours change; and how does the interplay of child, family, community and wider society influence inequalities in wellbeing?

信息提供信息、指导和授权；但获取和使用的持续障碍在社会上造成分裂，而且尚未完全理解，特别是在被边缘化的群体中。针对长期存在的信息贫困问题，该项目旨在更好地了解贫困地区21岁或以下的年轻首次母亲(YFTM)的信息需求和相关障碍，确定和更好地了解：YFTM的日常信息需求、寻求偏好和挑战；以及影响YFTM参与支持性服务的+/-因素，以及适当的辅助干预点和方法。英国是西欧少女怀孕率最高的国家之一，相关受孕率与多种剥夺指数相关。高危群体处于不利地位，缺乏参与，据报道，母亲和儿童都存在重大的健康和福祉问题。干预方案侧重于早期育儿需求，正在进行的全面教育支持被认为是长期融入社会/重新融入社会的关键；然而，有证据表明，主流服务未能提供这种支持，报告了大量未得到满足的青年青年信息需求，并对在实体和数字空间获取信息的公平性提出了最主要的关切。解决青年的全面信息需求方面的一个重大挑战涉及我们对年轻人的日常信息需求、偏好和寻求行为的了解有限，更具体地说，在贫困和/或边缘化的情况下(限制有效的量身定制的服务设计和提供被认为是获取和使用的关键)。需要考虑的是复杂的、尚未完全了解的获取障碍和内化的行为障碍，前者受数字鸿沟和信息素养问题的影响，后者受社会结构和规范的影响；我们认为，这些障碍使YFTM及其子女更有可能成为贫穷的信息局外人，过着分层和脱离的生活。该项目将认识到信息获取对经济和社会流动性以及健康和福祉的重要性；将全面识别和调查YFTM的信息需求，寻找偏好和挑战，并促进我们对影响被边缘化群体在物理和数字空间参与的+/-因素的了解，包括适当的辅助干预点和战略，以不仅满足眼前的需求，而且促进独立的终身学习和持续的社会包容。产出将指导公共信息服务提供者的政策(提供什么和从谁那里提供)和过程(包括合作方面)。该项目将把社会资本和社会网络理论与信息行为理论和模式结合起来，以解决物理和数字空间的信息贫困问题；与ESRC的战略优先事项保持一致，以影响行为和为干预提供信息，以及相关问题：如何理解多个层面和各种背景下的行为和风险；行为如何改变以及为什么改变；儿童、家庭、社区和更广泛的社会的相互作用如何影响福祉方面的不平等？
