Concern about the health effects of climate change according to experiences of climate events
Australia and United Kingdom (UK) nationally representative surveys of 4,378 adults. • Adults reported climate event experiences and perceived health threats. • 60% of Australians reported experiencing a climate event in the past five years compared to 29% of UK residents. • Heatwaves were the most common experience in both countries. • Climate event experiences accounted for 23-35% of perceived climate health threats. Climate change is now recog…
Coming to terms with climate change
Climate change is a major threat to global health. Its effects on physical health are increasingly recognised, but mental health impacts have received less attention. The mental health effects of climate change can be direct (resulting from personal exposure to acute and chronic climatic changes), indirect (via the impact on various socioeconomic, political and environmental determinants of mental health) and overarching (via knowledge, education…
Comparing population-level mental health of UK workers before and during the Covid-19 pandemic
OBJECTIVES: The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially affected workers' mental health. We investigated changes in UK workers' mental health by industry, socioeconomic class and occupation and differential effects by UK country of residence, gender and age. METHODS: We used representative Understanding Society data from 6474 adults (41 207 observations) in paid employment who participated in pre-pandemic (2017-2020) and at least one COVID-19 survey.…
Mental health and well-being during the Covid-19 pandemic
Background The effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on the population's mental health and well-being are likely to be profound and long lasting. Aims To investigate the trajectory of mental health and well-being during the first 6 weeks of lockdown in adults in the UK. Method A quota survey design and a sampling frame that permitted recruitment of a national sample was employed. Findings for waves 1 (31 March to 9 April 2020), 2 (10 Apr…
Predictors of Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy in the UK household longitudinal study
Vaccine hesitancy could undermine efforts to control COVID-19. We investigated the prevalence of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in the UK and identified vaccine hesitant subgroups. The 'Understanding Society' COVID-19 survey asked participants (n = 12,035) their likelihood of vaccine uptake and reason for hesitancy. Cross-sectional analysis assessed vaccine hesitancy prevalence and logistic regression calculated odds ratios. Overall vaccine hesitancy…
Occupation and risk of severe Covid-19
OBJECTIVES: To investigate severe COVID-19 risk by occupational group. METHODS: Baseline UK Biobank data (2006-10) for England were linked to SARS-CoV-2 test results from Public Health England (16 March to 26 July 2020). Included participants were employed or self-employed at baseline, alive and aged <65 years in 2020. Poisson regression models were adjusted sequentially for baseline demographic, socioeconomic, work-related, health, and lifestyle…
Social contact and inequalities in depressive symptoms and loneliness among older adults
Reduced in-person social contact may increase depressive symptoms and loneliness among older adults, especially for those aged 65+ who live alone. Reliance on remote social contact seems unlikely to compensate for social inequalities
Unequal impact of the Covid-19 crisis on minority ethnic groups
Minority ethnic groups have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. While the exact reasons for this remain unclear, they are likely due to a complex interplay of factors rather than a single cause. Reducing these inequalities requires a greater understanding of the causes. Research to date, however, has been hampered by a lack of theoretical understanding of the meaning of ‘ethnicity’ (or race) and the potential pathways leadi…
Mental health and health behaviours before and during the initial phase of the Covid-19 lockdown
Background There are concerns that COVID-19 mitigation measures, including the ‘lockdown’, may have unintended health consequences. We examined trends in mental health and health behaviours in the UK before and during the initial phase of the COVID-19 lockdown and differences across population subgroups. Methods Repeated cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis of the UK Household Longitudinal Study, including representative samples of over 27,0…
Ethnic and socioeconomic differences in Sars-CoV-2 infection
How does mental health stigma get under the skin? Cross-sectional analysis using the Health Survey for England
Despite increased awareness of mental health problems, stigma persists. Little research has examined potential health and wellbeing outcomes associated with stigma. The aim of this study was to investigate relationships between mental health stigma, metabolic and cardiovascular biomarkers, as well as wellbeing and quality of life among people with no mental disorder, common mental disorders and severe mental illness. Data were taken from adults a…
Regional employment and individual worklessness during the Great Recession and the health of the working-age population
Tobacco outlet density and tobacco knowledge, beliefs, purchasing behaviours and price among adolescents in Scotland
Economic insecurity during the Great Recession and metabolic, inflammatory and liver function biomarkers
BACKGROUND: Economic insecurity correlates with adverse health outcomes, but the biological pathways involved are not well understood. We examine how changes in economic insecurity relate to metabolic, inflammatory and liver function biomarkers. METHODS: Blood analyte data were taken from 6520 individuals (aged 25-59 years) participating in Understanding Society. Economic insecurity was measured using an indicator of subjective financial strain a…

The Relationship Between Financial Distress and Life-Course Socioeconomic Inequalities in Well-Being
Objectives. We investigated to what extent current financial distress explains the relationship between life-course socioeconomic position and well-being in Southern, Scandinavian, Postcommunist, and Bismarckian welfare regimes. Methods. We analyzed individuals (n = 18 324) aged 50 to 75 years in the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe, 2006–2009. Well-being was measured with CASP-12 (which stands for control, autonomy, self-realiz…
Attitudes towards Income and Wealth Inequality and Support for Scottish Independence over Time and the Interaction with National Identity
As the Scottish independence referendum is drawing near, the importance of understanding public attitudes that influence support for independence is increasing. The relationship between attitudes towards social inequality and support for independence is not well understood. Using data from the Scottish Social Attitudes Survey, we empirically analysed the relationship between attitudes towards income and wealth inequality, taxation, and income red…
PS22 Life Course Socio-Economic Position and Quality of Life in Adulthood
Background Measurement and determinants of quality of life are of increasing interest to researchers and policymakers. A relationship between current socio-economic position and subjective quality of life has been demonstrated, using wellbeing, life and needs satisfaction approaches. Less is known regarding the influence of different socio-economic trajectories across the life course and their subsequent effect on quality of life. Several concept…
