Deaths from ‘diseases of despair’ in Britain
BACKGROUND: The contribution of increasing numbers of deaths from suicide, alcohol-related and drug-related causes to changes in overall mortality rates has been highlighted in various countries. In Scotland, particular vulnerable cohorts have been shown to be most at risk; however, it is unclear to what extent this applies elsewhere in Britain. The aim here was to compare mortality rates for different birth cohorts between Scotland and England a…
Regional alcohol consumption and alcohol-related mortality in Great Britain
This study provides support for the ecological relationship between alcohol-related mortality and alcohol consumption. The synthesis of knowledge from a combination of sales, survey and mortality data, as well as primary research studies, is key to ensuring that regional alcohol consumption, and its relationship with alcohol-related harms, is better understood
Children's Narrative within a Multi-Centred, Dynamic Ecological Framework of Assessment and Planning for Child Trafficking
An ecological approach to understanding child abuse and working with separated children are not new concepts. This paper proposes a dynamic development of the model for use by front line practitioners that takes account of the movement and exploitation of children caught up in child trafficking, while recognising the primacy of children's narratives when information is difficult to obtain. Adopting a holistic planning and assessment approach util…
Informing the ‘early years’ agenda in Scotland
BACKGROUND: Providing infants with the 'best possible start in life' is a priority for the Scottish Government. This is reflected in policy and health promotion strategies to increase breast feeding, which gives the best source of nutrients for healthy infant growth and development. However, the rate of breast feeding in Scotland remains one of the lowest in Europe. Information is needed to provide a better understanding of infant feeding and its…
Alcohol-related mortality in deprived UK cities
BACKGROUND: Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, has high levels of deprivation and a poor-health profile compared with other parts of Europe, which cannot be fully explained by the high levels of deprivation. The 'excess' premature mortality in Glasgow is now largely attributable to deaths from alcohol, drugs, suicide and violence. METHODS: Alcohol-related mortality in Glasgow from 1980 to 2011 was examined relative to the equally deprived UK …
Responding to Youth Crime in Scotland
Scotland’s Children’s Hearings deal with young people who offend within an integrated system dealing also with young people in need of care and protection, on the assumption that the difficulties of both groups have similar roots in multiple social disadvantage and social adversity (Whyte, 1998a). A government-funded study, one of the first since the system’s inception in 1971, was commissioned to examine the social characteristics of over 1,000 …
