Research in the area of culture, health and wellbeing is often quick to jump to reporting outcomes, with the reporting of the processes underpinning these outcomes often falling by the wayside. So how do we find the balance in showcasing outcomes, whilst highlighting the process? And how might we research and evaluate the process?

We take a deep dive into the specific value of culture in relation to health and wellbeing outcomes, as well as exploring the role of specific cultural activities.
