This NIACE Survey, focussing on previous years' Adult Learners' Week nominees, examines what impact, if any, there has been on personal health as a result of learning. The majority of respondents reveal positive benefits to mental. emotional and physical health such as increased confidence and self-esteem, being better able to cope with illness, feeling less ill and changing health behaviours. Some also report 'dis-benefits' such as stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. The responses are both a powerful argument for closer study and a strong justification for the belief that learning can make a difference to individuals, their health and the well-being of their families and friends.
Further research is required to identify the extent of health improvement through learning and to find out how those who do not participate can be encouraged to do so.
