Mental health is a serious health problem facing society and health systems within the UK. It is an important health outcome in its own right but also is a known risk factor for poor physical health and well being including heart disease, stroke, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and Type II Diabetes. However, mental wellbeing remains less researched and understood than physical health problems. This research looks at how a person's early life chances can affect their mental health between the ages of 42 and 46 (mid-life) specifically looking at differences in mental health depending on a person's gender and level of education. The work aims to elucidate the pathways through which educational attainment can affect mental wellbeing. It will look at mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety and will draw from a range of different disciplines including literature from demography, geography, sociology, education, health and psychology. This research will analyse data from the British Cohort Study conducted in 2012 and the sweep currently being conducted (2016/2017). In particular it will look at the data based on a cognitive assessment, a 45-minute interview and analyse if a person's educational attainment as well as a person's gender has any implication on the level and type of mental health issues they might develop. This research is currently highly topical because both the Department for Work and Pensions and NHS have ambitions to reduce inequalities in mental health across the lifecourse.

心理健康是英国社会和卫生系统面临的严重健康问题。它本身就是一个重要的健康结果，但也是一个已知的身体健康和福祉不良的风险因素，包括心脏病，中风，癌症，多发性硬化症和II型糖尿病。然而，心理健康仍然比身体健康问题更少研究和了解。这项研究着眼于一个人的早期生活机会如何影响他们在42岁至46岁（中年）之间的心理健康，特别是根据一个人的性别和教育水平，研究心理健康的差异。这项工作旨在阐明教育程度影响心理健康的途径。它将着眼于心理健康障碍，如抑郁和焦虑，并将借鉴一系列不同的学科，包括人口学，地理学，社会学，教育学，健康和心理学的文献。这项研究将分析2012年进行的英国队列研究和目前正在进行的扫描（2016/2017）的数据。特别是，它将根据认知评估，45分钟的访谈和分析数据，如果一个人的教育程度以及一个人的性别对他们可能发展的心理健康问题的水平和类型有任何影响。这项研究目前非常热门，因为工作和养老金部以及NHS都有减少整个生命过程中心理健康不平等的雄心。
