Hopes and fears about growing up: A co-produced approach to understanding young people's lived experiences of transition to adulthood.

学生制的多模式和协作性质将对如何最好地发展包容性转型产生广泛而丰富的理解，并通过重要的新发现为实践和研究提供信息。这将涉及奖学金的关键领域，包括：儿童研究，包容性教育，社区心理学和社会正义。罗瑟勒姆的年轻人面临着进入成年的额外挑战，因为他们的贫困程度很高，主要是低技能和低薪的就业（CRDC 2019）。对于有明确心理健康需求的年轻人来说，与适当有效的服务提供相联系的斗争与成年过渡的日常挑战同时发生。ESRC ECY Pathway承认年轻人在不断变化的世界中为未知的未来做好准备的挑战。正是这个挑战，项目合作伙伴，罗瑟勒姆临床调试组，已确定为一个优先事项，其中iHuman研究中心有专业知识来应对。在从童年到成年的过渡期，年轻人预计将在经历重大的身体和心理变化的同时做出改变生活的决定（英国公共卫生，2019年）。此时，心理健康可能特别脆弱。17%的17-19岁的奥尔兹至少有一种心理健康障碍，其中一半的人要么自我伤害，要么试图结束自己的生命（LGA，2019）。然而，当它可能是最需要的，心理健康服务是失败的年轻人，因为许多人失去了在“悬崖边”18（卫生署，2014）。服务往往是疏远和缺乏响应弱势家庭的生活方式，导致高（DNA）不出席率（心理健康服务）和过早辍学（NHS DH，2015）。对于卫生系统中的许多人来说，根本没有过渡规划（CQC，2014）。特别是在罗瑟勒姆，不利的环境对年轻人的生命产生了影响。申请丧失工作能力福利的年轻人（以心理健康为主要原因）是全国平均水平的3倍（Beatty等人，2019）。罗瑟勒姆中心的大部分地区的互联网接入或计算机拥有率非常低（CRDC 2018，见下文），这意味着出于社会，职业和教育原因的连接受到影响。虽然罗瑟勒姆CCG委托了一系列服务来支持即将成年的年轻人，但人们对转型期年轻人的生活经历知之甚少。iHuman开发了一个与年轻人共同制作的工具包，以便能够有意义地参与研究，重点关注与他们有关的主题https://livinglifetothefullest.org/。该工具包将与罗瑟勒姆的合作研究人员一起开发，以探索过渡经验，了解挑战，并找到应对挑战的新方法。这项研究建立在iHuman的专业知识基础上，以了解年轻人在教育，卫生和护理环境中过渡的恐惧和希望。创新的在线和基于艺术的方法将为那些有时被排除在对话和调查结果之外的人创造丰富的沟通机会。

The multimodal and collaborative nature of the studentship will develop a broad and rich understanding of how best to develop inclusive transitions that work, informing practice and research with important new findings. This will engage with key areas of scholarship including: childhood studies, inclusive education, community psychology and social justice. Young people in Rotherham face additional challenges moving into adulthood, due to high levels of deprivation and mainly low-skilled and low-paid employment (CRDC 2019). For young people with identified mental health needs, the struggle to connect with appropriate effective service provision occurs alongside everyday challenges of adulthood transition. The ESRC ECY Pathway acknowledges the challenge of preparing young people for an unknown future in a changing world. It is this challenge that the project partner, Rotherham Clinical Commissioning Group, has identified as a priority and which the iHuman Research Centre has the expertise to respond to. At the transition from childhood to adulthood young people are expected to make life-changing decisions while experiencing significant physical and psychological changes (Public Health England, 2019). At this time, mental health can be particularly vulnerable. 17% of 17-19 year olds have at least one mental health disorder, and half of those have either self-harmed or attempted to take their own life (LGA, 2019). However, when it is perhaps needed most, mental health services are failing young adults, as many are lost at the "cliff edge" at 18 (DH, 2014). Services are often alienating and lack responsiveness to the lifestyles of vulnerable families, resulting in high (DNA) Do Not Attend rates (for mental health services) and premature drop out altogether (NHS DH, 2015). For many in the health system, there is no transition planning at all (CQC, 2014).In Rotherham, in particular, disadvantageous contexts impact upon young lives. Young adults claiming incapacity benefits (with mental health as the leading reason), is 3 times the national average (Beatty et al, 2019). Much of central Rotherham has very low levels of internet access or computer ownership (CRDC 2018, see below) meaning connectivity for social, career and education reasons is compromised. Whilst Rotherham CCG commissions a range of services supporting young people approaching adulthood, the lived experience of young people in transition is poorly understood. iHuman has developed a toolkit for co-production with young people to enable meaningful engagement in research focused on topics that concern them https://livinglifetothefullest.org/. This toolkit will be developed alongside Rotherham co-researchers to explore transition experiences, understand challenges, and find new ways of countering them. This research builds on iHuman's expertise to understand young people's fears and hopes around transition in education, health and care settings. Innovative online and arts-based approaches will create opportunities for rich communication with those sometimes excluded from conversation and findings.
