A post-structuralist inquiry into health and health discourse in the lives of young men aged 11 to 19 in the UKThis research aimed to better understand young men’s perspectives on health and health information, and to explore how this may differ depending on context. The study also examined what influences young men’s perspectives on health. The ways in which young men make sense of, and respond to, the health information and knowledge that they are subject to is also considered.This post-structuralist case study utilised focused ethnography to examine the ways in which young men constructed ideas about health and a healthy body. Research took place in two contrasting locations for eight weeks between January and May 2014. Using two locations for data collection has highlighted how such responses can differ depending on context. Data collection took the form of observation and documentary data, as well as individual and group interviews with fourteen young men aged between twelve and eighteen. Data was analysed through thematic and discourse analysis. The research undertaken in these two sites reveals both similarities and differences in the influence of a variety of factors on understandings of health. There is a high degree of complexity when attempting to understand performances of young masculinities in relation to health. This research builds on the findings of previous research in order to propose a model that represents factors forming and contributing to the health of adolescent boys. This model goes further than previous models in considering the role of context, socioeconomic status, education, and access to capital, discourse, and masculinities. The co-creation of conceptualisations of health is also considered with communities of practice being active in specific contexts, with the agency to contest, resist, assimilate, and repurpose knowledge in order to mitigate risk.

The Centre for Interprofessional Education and Learning is cognisant that individual health and social care curricula will identify learning outcomes. In pursing our defintion and journey of interprofessional learning about, with and from each other we consider the following learning outcomes to be complimnetarty to individual curricula in preparing students for quality collaborative health and social care practice. Students through engagement with interprofessional learning will: have enhanced understanding of roles and responsibilities of other health and social care professionals; understand stereotyping and professional prejudices and the impact of these on interprofessional working; demonstrate a set of knowledge, skills, competencies and attitudes that are common to all professions and that underpin the delivery of patient/client focused services; develop teamwork skills and improved knowledge of the nature of multidisciplinary teamwork; respect, understand and support the roles of other professionals; make an effective contribution as an equal member of an interprofessional team; understand the changing nature of health and social care boundaries; learn from others in the interprofessional team and collaborate with other professionals in practice.
