4.9d Further research on monetising the health and wellbeing benefits using Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) measures and Living long and living well (WELLBY) approaches and other relevant methods. Research on cost-saving to public health services through lower use and increases in productivity.
Background
The significance of culture and heritage engagement in enhancing quality of life and wellbeing is well recognised, and steps have been taken to monetise these health and wellbeing impacts. However, further work is needed on these issues, and previous research has identified various areas of research to increase our understanding. Examples include distributional impacts, how intensity/frequency of engagement impacts health and wellbeing, and a better understanding of impacts in clinical settings.
