Survey on Social Prescribing Knowledge Among Healthcare Students in North-East England

A cross-sectional survey of 76 Medicine, Pharmacy, and Nursing undergraduates assessed baseline knowledge of social prescribing and the immediate effect of an educational video. The dataset includes 49 eligible respondents, with pre- and post-video measures of definitional accuracy and confidence. The data was authored by Jason Su and last updated on 2026-04-20.

Use Cases

• Analyzing changes in definitional accuracy for social prescribing based on pre- and post-video survey scores.
• Assessing confidence levels in explaining social prescribing among healthcare students.
• Identifying persistent gaps in conceptual understanding, such as the role of link workers, from survey responses.
• Evaluating the effectiveness of brief educational interventions in healthcare curricula.

Strengths

• Includes paired pre- and post-intervention data from 49 eligible respondents.
• Provides specific quantitative results, such as a mean definition score increase from 1.33/4 to 2.0/4.
• Survey design explicitly targets three healthcare disciplines (Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations
