You can use this tool to explore the factors that affect public mental health. We call these 'determinants' of public mental health. There are 52 determinants in total, organised into four levels: Individual, Family, Community, Structural. These determinants are connected and influence one another across all levels: they are part of one ecosystem that together shapes the mental health of our population.

This Conceptual Framework for Public Mental Health is an interactive web-based tool that brings together evidence from academic research, reports, and practitioner and public consultations to map out the factors affecting mental health across all stages of a person’s life, including links to key evidence and lived experiences.

It has been developed as part of the NIHR School for Public Health Research Public Mental Health Programme.
