There is evidence that increased levels of community engagement and social participation can improve population health. Community currencies such as Time Credits are one way to support and encourage people to be more involved in their local community. As a result, they have attracted investment by local governments in the UK, with the hope of finding new ways to work with deprived communities, improve individual outcomes that lead to better health, and reduce the use of public services at a time of financial austerity. The aim of this research was to evaluate the health related outcomes of volunteering through Time Credits in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. The conceptual model developed during the research shows how Time Credits were expected to influence some of the social determinants of health and, by doing so, enhance health outcomes and reduce health inequalities. This in depth empirical study shows the potential of such activity to support pathways to better health, but equally demonstrates the challenges in quantifying such outcomes and in evidencing any reduction in the use of public services as a result.

有证据表明，提高社区参与和社会参与水平可以改善人口健康。像Time Credits这样的社区货币是支持和鼓励人们更多地参与当地社区的一种方式。因此，它们吸引了英国地方政府的投资，希望找到与贫困社区合作的新方法，改善个人健康状况，并在财政紧缩时期减少对公共服务的使用。本研究的目的是评估在剑桥郡威斯贝克通过时间积分志愿服务的健康相关结果。在研究期间开发的概念模型表明，时间积分如何有望影响健康的一些社会决定因素，并通过这样做，提高健康成果和减少健康不平等。这项深入的实证研究表明，这类活动具有支持改善健康途径的潜力，但同样也表明，在量化这类成果和证明因此减少使用公共服务方面存在挑战。
