Growing Up in a Pandemic: health behaviours and the impact of COVID-19 on health inequalities among young people in Ireland

Description du projet

La COVID-19 et les inégalités de santé chez les adolescents

La pandémie de COVID-19 a mis en évidence des inégalités de santé et des désavantages structurels dans toute l’Europe, ainsi que de grandes disparités de revenus. En Irlande, les enfants et les adolescents ont été largement touchés. Des études comme Growing Up in Ireland et TeenPath, au Trinity College de Dublin, et le Royal College of Surgeons Ireland ont documenté ces inégalités. Dans ce contexte, le projet Teenpath Covid, financé par l’UE, placera les jeunes au cœur de la politique de santé publique en Irlande en s’attaquant aux inégalités de santé à long terme qui ont émergé et ont été aggravées par la pandémie. Le projet s’intégrera à l’étude TeenPath en appliquant des méthodes participatives et de réseaux sociaux pour explorer comment les adolescents ont vécu la COVID-19, en tenant compte du genre et de l’ethnicité.

Objectif

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has brought health inequalities into sharp focus and exposed the structural disadvantage experienced by people facing the greatest deprivation. Research studies such as Growing Up in Ireland (GUI) and TeenPath at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland (RCSI) are specifically documenting these inequalities in the lives of children and young people in Ireland pre-COVID-19. This proposal will integrate with the TeenPath study and its aims to centre young people in the development of public health policy targeting adolescent health, with a view to addressing longer term health inequalities revealed and potentially exacerbated by the pandemic. Despite their behaviours being subject to high levels of public scrutiny and social policing throughout the pandemic, young people have limited power to influence society’s response to it. Rapid studies have generated snapshots of the experiences of people living through the COVID-19 outbreak in Ireland, but largely overlook how young people’s routines and emotional wellbeing have adapted. This project will take participatory and social network approaches to investigate how adolescents in Ireland have experienced COVID-19, and will address intersectional dimensions including gender and ethnicity to examine disproportionate impacts of the pandemic on health inequalities. Working with the TeenPath project at RCSI in partnership with TCD, this interdisciplinary project will bring together Public Health, Anthropology and Sociology to deploy innovative approaches such as Photovoice and Social Network Analysis to centre young people in the co-development of public health policy. This co-designed, inter-sectoral and participatory project will contribute to understanding of the impacts of COVID-19 on young people and health inequalities in Europe through policy-focused research, while developing my interdisciplinary skills as an independent public health researcher.
