Creating ways to #BeeWell: examining the relationship between young people's participation in arts, culture and entertainment activities and their wel

幸福，正如年轻人自己所定义的，是感觉良好和运作良好[1];最新的研究表明，它已经下降了十多年[2]。进一步的证据表明，青少年的幸福感是学校成绩，成人幸福感，身心健康，劳动力市场/社会经济和关系结果的关键标志[3]。因此，提高我们对青少年健康驱动因素的理解是研究和政策的优先事项[4]。该提案侧重于年轻人参与艺术，文化和娱乐（PACE）活动在他们的福祉中的作用，直接解决最近审查中确定的未来研究的优先事项[5]，并响应在证据“普遍薄弱”的领域采取更有力方法的呼吁[6]。与国际工厂合作，我们的跨学科，混合方法项目融合了二次分析和新的数据生成，以解决以下研究问题：RQ 1：PACE的哪些潜在特征可以在12-15岁的青少年中识别，以及它们的前因和后果是什么？RQ 2：从年轻人自身的角度来看，PACE如何影响他们的福祉？RQ 3：参加工厂学校计划是否会改善青少年的福祉？该项目将采用期刊格式。因此，它将包括三项相关研究，概述如下。我们注意到每一种期刊都有一个指示性的目标期刊，同时还将有一个针对非学术受众的平行可访问的产出（例如，blog，evidence briefing）.

Wellbeing, as defined by young people themselves, is about feeling good and functioning well [1]; the latest research indicates that it has been in decline for over a decade [2]. Further evidence demonstrates that adolescent wellbeing is a key marker for school attainment, adult wellbeing, mental and physical health, labour market/socioeconomic, and relational outcomes [3]. Accordingly, improving our understanding of the drivers of adolescent wellbeing is a research and policy priority [4]. This proposal focuses on the role of young people's participation in arts, culture and entertainment (PACE) activities in their wellbeing, directly addressing priorities for future research identified in a recent review [5], and responding to the call for more robust approaches in an area where the evidence is "generally weak" [6]. Working with Factory International,our interdisciplinary, mixed-methods project blends secondary analysis and new data generation to address the following research questions:RQ1: What latent profiles of PACE can be identified among 12-15 year-olds, and what are their antecedents and consequences?RQ2: From the perspective of young people themselves, how does PACE influence their wellbeing?RQ3: Does participation in the Factory School programme lead to improved adolescent wellbeing?The project will adopt the journal format. Accordingly, it will comprise three related studies, outlined below. We note an indicative target journal for each, which will be accompanied by a parallel accessible output aimed at non-academic audiences (e.g., blog, evidence briefing).
