3 explainer animations launched to support local authorities

21 March 2024

We have created 3 explainer animations, that help explain research and the wider determinants of health in a way that we can all understand and relate to. 

We hope local authorities can use these with a range of audiences, including colleagues, their local communities, resident groups, elected members, and public partners. 

The animations were co-produced with the training and development task and finish group, which includes membership from Health Determinants Research Collaborations, local authorities, SCPH colleagues, and public and community contributors. 

• What is research and why does it matter?

• How to get involved in research in a local authority

• Why health determinants are the Council's business

Nicola Sheen, Training and Development Manager, said: "I'm very pleased to be able to share the explainer animations, co-production has been crucial to ensure the messaging is at the right level for the audience and I am excited that they're now available to be used!"
