This year’s Annual Public Health Report focuses on the role the cultural sector has in supporting health and wellbeing, either directly or indirectly.
We know there is a strong evidence base to show that cultural participation plays a significant role in reducing health inequalities and addressing health and wellbeing needs, both at a population and an individual level.
View the report:
The World Health Organization (WHO) has published a significant scoping review of over 3,000 research studies exploring the effect of the arts on health and wellbeing. The Report also includes case studies of good practice in Suffolk, linking them back to the World Health Organization (WHO) evidence base.
The report concludes with a set of ambitions and recommendations for the future of the cultural sector in Suffolk in relation to health and wellbeing.
