Summary of report content

Throughout January to November 2024, Healthwatch Medway conducted a year-long project exploring the wider determinants of health by speaking to 455 residents across Medway. The aim of this project was to understand which aspects of local communities people felt positively or negatively affected their wellbeing. When asked, “What are the negatives of living in your area, and how does that negatively impact you, if at all?”, 37% (170 people) mentioned crime and antisocial behaviour (ASB)—making it the most frequently cited concern. These mentions were entirely unprompted, highlighting the prominence of this issue in residents’ everyday lives. This report focuses specifically on the feedback from those 170 individuals.

The report explores the demographic, thematic and geographic location issues.
