Mak HW, Coulter R & Fancourt D. (2020). Patterns of social inequality in arts and cultural participation: findings from a nationally representative sample of adults living in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Public Health Panorama, 6 (1): 55-68. World Health Organization. Regional Office for Europe.
This study reveals a social gradient in arts and cultural engagement. Given the health benefits of arts engagement, this suggests the importance of promoting equal access to arts and cultural programmes, to ensure that unequal engagement does not exacerbate health inequalities.
