A recent research study led by researchers at Population Data Science at Swansea University indicates that community-level improvements such as increasing safety, connectivity and employment could help in a child’s educational attainment, mental health and reduce risk-taking behaviours. Living in persistent poverty has a detrimental impact on child health, cognitive and behavioural outcomes. A child…
The emergence of viable vaccines to protect against COVID-19 was marked as one of the most significant medical breakthroughs in recent history, providing a beacon of hope and a step towards a sense of normality for many.
Swansea University has received £125k of funding from Health Data Research UK (HDR UK) to study the impact of the direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 on cardiovascular disease (CVD).
As cases of Covid-19 increased in the UK, access to timely data was, and continues to be, a fundamental part of understanding and tackling the virus for those working within policy and research.
New real time analysis demonstrating the spread of Covid-19 in Wales has directly informed the One Wales response to Covid-19 in Wales.
Trusted relationships, built on strong processes, policies and a common understanding have been at the heart the rapid delivery of research intelligence for the One Wales response to COVID-19.
Since the earliest days of the COVID-19 outbreak in the UK, the SAIL Databank has played a pivotal role in the One Wales strategic response to this unprecedented global threat.
