Military Children' Promote, Protect, Prevent
This project will seek to understand the Social Determinants of Health (SDH) (Health Care Access, Social Community, Neighbourhood and Environment, Education and Economic Stability) of Military Connected Children and Young People (MCCYP). Moreover, this project will identify how service providers could support MCCYP’s SDH through the project's outputs.
Aim
The primary aim is to co-produce a MCCYP specific SDH screening tool within the context of military life, to identify and reduce inequalities within the military connected children and young people’s population. The second aim of the project is to develop an age appropriate self-reporting MCCYP-SDH (8-11, 12-15, 16-18 years) screening tool through the ‘lived’ experience of the social determinants of health which surround military connected children and young people, from the perspectives of the young people.
