Read: Towards socially robust policy modelling: Scoping review of public involvement in computational policy modelling - from our Community Insights Team @profellenstu.bsky.social, Natalie Dewison, Edit Gedeon & @clemmiehilloconnor.bsky.social Health Res Policy Sys doi.org/10.1186/s129...
Published paper Towards socially robust policy modelling: as shown online with title in bold, Abstract box and Health Research Policy and Systems top right
Policy models are meant to inform real-world decisions, but who gets to shape them?
Our new review shows public involvement in computational modelling is still narrow—focused on experts, split between light feedback and rigid formats.
We suggest more inclusive, ongoing, and power-aware engagement 👇

“Reimagining Healthier and More Equitable Futures” hosted by our Director @pmeierprof.bsky.social - we’d love to see you there! 👇
Professor @pmeierprof.bsky.social Director Policy Modelling for Health commented: “We are delighted to have produced this report, which exemplifies the kind of rigorous, policy-relevant modelling that @phiuk.bsky.social Policy Modelling for Health exists to deliver." www.phiuk.org/policy-model...
Compiled by @cempaessex.bsky.social key findings include:
•Modest reductions in overall #Poverty & #ChildPoverty, but increases #PensionerPoverty
•Net fiscal improvement of £1.0–£1.4 billion per year
•Minimal change to overall income inequality, impacts concentrated among specific household groups
