The OxWell School Survey asked questions on a range of health and wellbeing-related issues to pupils at participating schools in Oxfordshire. The aim of the survey is to inform individual schools and Oxfordshire County Council, as well as to contribute to academic research into imporoving the wellbeing and mental health of children and adolescents.

Data from 4,222 pupils are included in the summary presented in this report. More detailed results and statistical tests will be included in manuscripts intended for publication in scientific journals.

This Helath Needs Assessment (HNA) is focused on the needs of Oxfordshire inhabitants aged 18 years and over who use alcohol, illicit drugs or other substance misuse in a manner of irregular harmful misuse or dependence, regardless of whether they are already in contact with treatment services. A variety of data sources have been used to inform the HNA, including the local treatment services database and Public Health England National Drug Treatment Monitoring System (NDTMS) reports, scientific literature and Government reports. This report compares current and changing performance data against regional and national benchmarks, and outlines recommendations for consideration in future commissioning of services.
This health needs assessment was commissioned by NHS England and has been jointly supported by a steering group of representatives from the prisons in the region, healthcare and specialist health service providers in the Thames Valley.
