How do the wider social determinants of health impact upon justice needs and outcomes?The overarching themes that structure this ARI are closely linked, with several questions and issues that cut across them. Some extend beyond MoJ and reflect the interests of other government departments. We want to encourage research that is tangential across multiple objectives and outcomes to develop a holistic approach to analysis that supports policy and operational decision-making. This section outlines cross-cutting themes and approaches that can be considered across our research priorities.Contact detailsWe can be contacted at the following email address: evidence_partnerships@justice.gov.uk.Related UKRI Projects<ul><li><a href="https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=ES%2FY002806%2F1">Nottingham Trent University ADR UK Data First Phase 2</a></li><li><a href="https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=ES%2FY002458%2F1">Disentangling involvement in and the impact of integrated health and criminal justice systems: A North of England Research Consortium</a></li><li><a href="https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=ES%2FV015737%2F1">The Youth Justice System's Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic: Implications and impacts for policy, practice and justice-involved children</a></li><li><a href="https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=ES%2FW012448%2F1">Help-seeking for substance use and mental health among justice-involved people in Scottish community contexts: An analysis of social network influence</a></li><li><a href="https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=ES%2FV002198%2F1">MoJ/ADR UK Data First Programme Academic Lead</a></li><li><a href="https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=ES%2FV011766%2F1">Risks, Needs and Discrimination: Examining the Fairness of Assessment and Planning Frameworks for Youth Justice Interventions</a></li><li><a href="https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=ES%2FX003434%2F1">Policing and public health: Exploring new ways to unlock the social cure</a></li><li><a href="https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=ES%2FW002221%2F2">Understanding the Intersections between Care Experience and Ethnicity in Criminal Justice Involvement</a></li><li><a href="https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=ES%2FW002345%2F1">How do differing rates and modes of child welfare service interventions impact upon educational and criminal justice outcomes of vulnerable children?</a></li></ul>
