The development of the community prescribing toolkit

The data represents the draft and developed versions of the Community Prescribing Toolkit. The toolkit was created and developed during a series of research studies conducted in pursuit of a PhD. The data regarding that thesis is accessible here:

The toolkit aims to increase the likelihood of social prescribing Link Workers connecting service-users to community groups they can identify with.

Social prescribing is a non-clinical health initiative that empowers a service-user to manage their psychosocial health needs by connecting them to local community resources, such as community groups. However, as an atheoretical intervention, there are concerns of disengagement during social prescribing. Applying a Social Identity Approach to social prescribing that recognises the importance of groups for our health and wellbeing could minimise disengagement within social prescribing. The toolkit was developed as a flexible tool for use in differing social prescribing schemes.

There are three versions of the developed toolkit recorded. Version 1 represents the first draft of the toolkit created from 27 qualitative interviews with Link Workers, group leaders, service-users and the Social Identity Approach to Health and wider group processes literature. Version 2 represents the second draft of the toolkit following its review by five Link Workers and three group leaders. Version 2 is split into two parts, a Community Prescribing Toolkit for Link Workers and a Community Prescribing Toolkit for group leaders. Version 3 represents the third draft of the toolkit following interviews with five service-users who had disengaged with a recommended community group. Version 3 remains split into two formats, a toolkit for Link Workers and a toolkit for group leaders.

Version 1 was developed between March and April 2021. Version 2 was developed between June and August 2021. Version three was developed between March and April 2023. Refinement logs are also present alongside Versions 2 and 3 of the toolkits.

The research that this toolkit was created from was funded by the Centre for Behavioural Research Methods.

本数据集收录了社区转诊工具包（Community Prescribing Toolkit）的草稿与正式开发版本。该工具包依托于一项用于攻读博士学位的系列研究开发完成，相关学位论文数据可在此处获取：

本工具包旨在提升社会转诊（social prescribing）联络专员（Link Worker）将服务使用者（service-user）对接至其能够产生身份认同的社区团体的概率。社会转诊是一项非临床健康倡议，通过将服务使用者对接至本地社区资源（如社区团体），帮助其自主管理心理社会健康需求。但作为一项缺乏理论支撑的干预手段，社会转诊过程中存在服务参与度下降的隐患。引入社会认同路径（Social Identity Approach）开展社会转诊实践，充分重视团体对个体健康与福祉的重要作用，可有效降低社会转诊中的参与脱落风险。本工具包被开发为一款灵活适配不同社会转诊项目的实用工具。

本次收录的开发完成的工具包共三个版本。版本1为该工具包的首个草稿，其开发基于对27名社会转诊联络专员、团体负责人、服务使用者的质性访谈，以及健康领域社会认同路径（Social Identity Approach）与广义团体过程相关的文献研究。版本2为经5名社会转诊联络专员与3名团体负责人评审后的第二版草稿，该版本拆分为两个部分：面向社会转诊联络专员的社区转诊工具包，以及面向团体负责人的社区转诊工具包。版本3为在访谈5名曾脱离推荐社区团体的服务使用者后形成的第三版草稿，该版本同样拆分为两个模块：面向社会转诊联络专员的工具包，以及面向团体负责人的工具包。

版本1开发于2021年3月至4月期间，版本2开发于2021年6月至8月期间，版本3开发于2023年3月至4月期间。工具包版本2与版本3的相关资料中还包含了迭代优化日志。
