Stakeholder perspectives on the effects of environmental and socio-economic factors on children's health and learning: a qualitative study in Greater Manchester, England
This study highlights the complex relationship between air pollution, socio-economic disparities, and children's health in GM. Inequitable resources and behavioral resistance hinder progress, but stronger stakeholder collaboration and evidence-based strategies can help. The post-COVID rise in SEN and learning difficulties calls for research. Future studies should adopt multidisciplinary, longitudinal approaches to assess the long-term impact of air quality initiatives.
