Welcome to The Big Ideas, a podcast series exploring how data shapes our understanding of health and inequalities and how to make the collection and use of data more inclusive to inspire a more equitable future.
The podcast series is part of the Social and Economic Predictors of Severe Mental Disorders (SEP-MD) research project led by Dr Jayati Das-Munshi from King’s College London and affiliated with the ESRC Centre for Society and Mental Health and the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre.
In this episode,‘Severe Mental Health Disorders: The initial findings’, host Milena Wuerth, Research Assistant, King’s College London is joined by Rosanna Hildersley, PhD student and Research Assistant on the SEPMD project and Dr. Lukasz Cybulski, Post Doctoral Researcher on the SEPMD project.
They provide an overview of the SEP-MD research project and discuss why we would want to link mental health records to administrative data like Census from England. Rosie discusses her project, which explores the association of urban areas with the onset of severe mental health conditions like psychosis. Lucasz discusses his work which has used the linkage to shed light on social outcomes in psychosis.

The Big Ideas is a special 4-part series of Our Sick Society, a podcast where researchers from the ESRC Centre for Society and Mental Health and people with lived experience explore together how social factors contribute to mental health problems. The podcast encourages listeners to think and question society’s role in mental health - what are the systems and the structures which mean that some people are more likely to become mentally unwell than others?
