THE EFFECTS ARE STRONGESTS IN
POORER COMMUNITIES
THE EFFECTS ARE SMALL BUT
IMPORTANT AT A POPULATION LEVEL

Coast & health: Current research
2 key questions under investigation:
a) Will improving coastal access improve population health?
![Page 16: Health and Wellbeing Benefits from the Coast · The team: Ian Alcock, Debbie Cracknell, Michael Depledge, Karin Dijkstra, Lewis Elliot, Lora Fleming, Amanda Hignett, Rebecca Jenkin,](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062414/5f99bd75737ebe2de964b51f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Improving coastal access
Areas of relative deprivation to be monitored in the proposed research
COastal AccesS Trial (COAST)
What impact will improved coastal
access have on the health & well-being
of deprived coastal communities?

Coast & health: Current research
2 key questions under investigation:
a) Will improving coastal access improve population health?
b) Can we bring the coast inland/indoors?
