Brief Summary:
Background Social prescribing is a mechanism of connecting patients with non-medical forms of support within the community and has been shown to improve loneliness Yet uptake from young people has been lower than for adults This is thought to be due to accessibility issues as young people are less likely to draw on primary care where social prescribing in based for wellbeing support INACT will pilot a social prescribing pathway via schools to support young people who are lonely It will test the feasibility and acceptability of delivering and evaluating it through a randomised controlled trial
Methods 78 pupils reporting loneliness will be recruited across 12 mainstream 6 primary and 6 secondary schools in England and be randomly allocated to signposting or social prescribing Pupils in the control group will receive signposting to sources of support from school staff The co-produced social prescribing intervention includes up to 6 sessions with a Link Worker who will work with individuals to understand what matters to them and connect them with local sources of support Data will be collected at baseline 3- and 6-months later Acceptability and feasibility will be assessed via recruitment and retention as well as via qualitative interviews Interviews will also explore barriers facilitators and mechanisms of change Potential primary and secondary outcomes for a future trial will be completed to assess response and completeness including measures of loneliness mental health and wellbeing
Discussion INACT will provide preliminary evidence of the feasibility and acceptability of both the research design and social prescribing intervention Results will inform a potential future randomised trial
