Contains statistics on specialist substance misuse treatment for young people in England during 2013 to 2014. The data show how the specialist substance misuse services in England continue to respond to the needs of young people who have alcohol and drug problems. These services intervene to help young people overcome their substance misuse problems and prevent them from becoming problematic users in adulthood. Figures from the report reveal that: 19,126 young people received help for alcohol or drug problems; 71 per cent had cannabis as their main problem drug; and 79 per cent of young people left services having successfully completed their treatment.

This report explores factors associated with mental wellbeing and mental health among adults in Scotland using data from the Scottish Health Survey (SHeS). Analyses are based on survey years 2012 to 2013 and include participants aged 16 years and older. The factors included in the analyses include socio-demographic, health behaviours and conditions. The report presents an analysis of factors significantly associated with low mental wellbeing among adults, indicated by WEMWBS scores, and an analysis of factors associated with adults who display signs of the presence of a possible psychiatric disorder, indicated by scores of four or higher on the GHQ12 scale. The factors found to be most strongly associated with poor mental health and wellbeing were economic activity, in particular the group of adults who are permanently unable to work, and a range of health-related behaviours such as physical inactivity and excessive alcohol consumption. Adults who provide unpaid care for 35 hours or more per week were also shown to have low mental wellbeing compared to those who are not in a caring role, or those who provide fewer hours of care each week. For other demographic characteristics, such as area deprivation, a weaker relationship with mental wellbeing was observed after controlling for additional factors. (Edited publisher abstract)

The Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) is a multi-disciplinary research project following the lives of around 19,000 children born in the UK in 2000/1. Four surveys of MCS cohort members have been carried out so far, the first of which was when the baby was aged 9 months. This report provides an overview of statistics, from MCS dataset 1 and other comparable data sources, about the attitudes, experiences and challenges faced by new parents in each of the 4 countries of the UK. It includes: parental attitudes to child rearing; maternal post-natal attachment; parental mental health; domestic abuse; parental alcohol consumption; and problems experienced by parents during the first few months. It also sheds some light on parental experiences of professional support.

The data covered in this report come from two sources: a survey which was carried out in 2000 and is a repeat of an earlier survey of adults living in private households, and a supplementary sample of people with psychosis identified through GP records held on the General Practice Rsearch Database. Overall, 91% of this sample of people with a psychotic illness were receiving some form of treatment, either medication or some form of counselling or therapy. Over half of this sample of people with psychotic disorder (56%) reported difficulties with one or more activities of daily living (ADL). Most of these (49% of the whole sample) said that they needed help to overcome at least one of these difficulties. In this sample of people with a psychotic disorder, a very high proportion of people, 70%, were economically inactive. Just over a quarter (27%) were in paid employment, half of them full time and half part time. A large proportion of this sample of people with a psychotic illness were, or had been, smokers. Among this sample, 27% of respondents had an AUDIT score of 8 or more, that is, they were found to have a hazardous level of drinking in the year before interview. Over two-thirds (70%) of this sample of people with a psychotic illness had thought about suicide at some time in their lives and 45% had attempted suicide. In addition, 21% had harmed themselves without intending to commit suicide.
