This is a theoretical academic paper proposing a conceptual framework. Wilson draws on existing research from social determinants, human rights, and disability literature rather than original empirical studies or lived experience data. While she acknowledges the importance of lived experience perspectives and mentions some examples (like the Wessely Review incorporating submissions from people with mental health conditions), the framework itself is conceptually constructed from secondary scholarly sources, not primary experiential research or practice-based evidence.

The document has minimal grounding in practice wisdom. While Wilson references some practical examples like Wales' Wellbeing of Future Generations Act and mentions health-justice partnerships, the framework is primarily theoretical. She acknowledges that social determinants research "has not translated into significant real-world gains" and notes implementation challenges in Wales. The paper calls for practical application but doesn't draw extensively from practitioner experience or field-tested interventions to inform the proposed framework.

The document is extensively grounded in research evidence. Wilson draws from multiple fields including epidemiology, public health, psychology, and disability studies. She cites extensive literature on social determinants of health/mental health, references major reports (WHO, Marmot Review, Lancet Commission), and incorporates evaluation findings from existing interventions. However, she notes a critical gap: while research exists, "social determinants research has not translated into significant real-world gains," highlighting implementation challenges.
