This section brings together a range of in-depth JSNAs covering topics such as mental health, healthy ageing, drugs and alcohol, domestic abuse, LGBTQ+ communities, adults with a learning disability, children aged 0–5 years, and the emotional wellbeing and mental health of children and young people.

Each JSNA explores a topic in detail, providing evidence to support planning, decision-making and action to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for Warwickshire residents.

Some of the most important health challenges can only be understood by looking more closely at specific issues and communities.

These thematic JSNAs provide deeper insights into particular populations, conditions and topics, helping us better understand people's experiences and identify opportunities to improve health and reduce inequalities.

The Healthy Ageing Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) seeks to understand what older adults in Warwickshire need to live longer, happier, and healthier lives, as well as what strengths individuals and communities already have that support this aim.
