- A systematic review of research around community-based social innovations that aimed to empower people aged 50 and over by motivating them to take initiative for their own health and wellbeing. The identified papers (n=44) reported interventions having positive impacts on participants, such as reduced depression, though the majority of studies were classified as being at medium or high risk of bias. There was no evidence on costs or cost-effectiveness and very little reporting of outcomes at an organisation or system level.
