Wellbeing

This Evaluation theme aims to contribute to the development of robust social prescribing evaluation. It explores evaluation with different population groups, contexts and social prescribing models whilst using methods such as realist review, realist evaluation, group concept mapping and consensus methods.

WSSPR projects within this theme are listed below:

Developing the concept of social well-being in the context of social prescribing

Using Group Concept Mapping, WSSPR researchers conducted an international three-stage study to develop the concept of social well-being. The study identified six components of social well-being; ‘everyday life, activities and pastimes’, ‘family and friends’, ‘connecting with others and supporting needs’, ‘community involvement’, ‘engaging with and reflecting on the wider world’ and ‘self-growth and security’.

Using the concept of social well-being identified in the Group Concept Mapping study, WSSPR researchers are developing a tool to measure social well-being that can be used by social prescribing practitioners and researchers.
