#SpeakUp: Saalik Youth Project
Saalik Youth Project's #SpeakUp report explores the experiences of young Pakistani Muslims living in Sheffield. Read more about what they found out.
For this project, Saalik Youth Project spoke to 26 young people: 11 young men aged 16-20, and 15 young women aged 13-26.
They talked about their experiences of healthcare services in Sheffield, and the ways they access information about health - through friends and family, online services, and social media.
Key findings
Saalik Youth Project heard about a range of topics:
- What makes a good experience of care - often linked to efficiency, flexibility, and communication
- What makes a negative experience of care, or acts as a barrier to care - including appointment systems not working around school or college, location of services, waiting times and negative interactions with staff, along with specific cultural barriers for people from Pakistani Muslim backgrounds
- The role of the internet in health and wellbeing for young people - the positives and negatives
