Outputs

The Digital Determinants of Health Hub produces a range of outputs designed for different audiences, ensuring that research findings inform policy, practice and public understanding.

Outputs are developed at different stages of the research lifecycle, from early methods and protocols through to peer-reviewed publications, policy briefings and practical guidance. As the Hub develops, this portfolio will expand in response to emerging evidence, policy needs and partner priorities.

Policy Outputs

Policy outputs are designed to support evidence-informed decision-making by government, regulators and public bodies.

These include:

  • Policy briefs and evidence summaries translating research findings into clear, actionable insights.

  • ·Regulatory submissions and consultation responses to support policy development and review.

  • Briefings for government departments and regulators, tailored to specific policy questions and contexts.

Research Outputs

Research outputs contribute to the academic evidence base on digital environments and young people’s health.

These include:

  • Peer-reviewed journal articles in public health, epidemiology, psychology and related fields.

  • Preprints, protocols and registered analyses to support transparency and reproducibility.

  • Methodological papers advancing causal inference and digital data approaches in population health research.

Practice Outputs

Practice-focused outputs support the translation of evidence into real-world settings, in collaboration with practitioners and partner organisations.

These include:

  • Guidance for educators and practitioners to support evidence-informed responses to digital influences on wellbeing.

  • Conceptual and practical frameworks for safer, more inclusive digital environments.

  • Tools and resources for implementation and evaluation, with attention to equity and context.

Public Engagement Outputs

Public engagement outputs aim to make evidence accessible and relevant to wider audiences, including young people, families and the general public.

These include:

  • Media contributions, commentary and expert interviews.

  • Talks, panels and public events.

  • Accessible explainers and resources designed for non-academic audiences, including young people and caregivers.
