This is super interesting -- and a bit depressing -- but I'd also like to see the equivalent survey done on teenage boys! Because I think sometimes there's an assumption that boys are being catered to with things like gym equipment, but actually... maybe they want spaces to hang out and chat, too?
This comes from engagement work with teenage girls in a park in York.
And you see all those things with two dots by them. Those make up 90%+ of what we currently provide for young people in public space.
Whereas the things that girls want - they just aren't there.
Let's do better.

Although CPR has become synonymous with medical heroism, nearly 85 per cent of those who receive it in a hospital die. Why has it remained the norm?
The Hidden Harms of CPR
The brutal procedure can save lives, but only in particular cases. Why has it become a default treatment?

Dear nurses, you are not the problem. You are not burned out because you lack resilience. You are burned out because of moral injury resulting from being understaffed, under resourced, and unprotected. We have the evidence and yet we keep researching resilience. It’s not your fault.
