What explains between-school differences in rates of smoking
School-level characteristics have an impact on male and female pupils' rates of smoking up to 15/16 years of age. The size of the school effect is greater for males at this age. The social environment of schools, in particular the quality of teacher-pupil relationships, pupils' attitude to school and the school's focus on caring and inclusiveness, can influence both boys' and girls' smoking. This provides support for the school-wide or "Health Pr…
An investigation into causal links between victimization and offending in adolescents
There is a considerable body of evidence from earlier research to show that offending is associated with an increased risk of victimization, and being a victim with an increased risk of offending. There have been few earlier studies of the link. These have generally set out to test specific explanations, for example, the idea that the same lifestyles or routine activities may be associated with both victimization and offending. In a current study…
Cessation of Hormone Replacement Therapy After Reports of Adverse Findings From Randomized Controlled Trials
Objectives. We examined the cessation of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) among British women, by educational level, social class, and cardiovascular risk factors, at the time of publicity about 2 clinical trials of HRT that were halted after adverse findings. Methods. A total of 1387 women aged 57 years reported their monthly HRT use between January 2002 and February 2003. A succession of regression-based time-series models were fitted to detec…

Regional Mortality and the Irish in Britain
We explore predictions from three sociological models linking excess Irish mortality in England and Wales with urban and regional patterns of settlement and mortality.The analysis is prospective, of urban residents aged 25-74 in a 1 per cent sample of the 1971 Census of England and Wales, linked with death certificates from 1971-1985 (the ONS Longitudinal Study). Analysis is by multilevel modelling of probabilities of death.The association of pas…
Mortality variations in England and Wales between types of place
Has regional variation in mortality rates declined since 1931, and in all age groups, in Britain? A re-analysis using formal statistical modelling
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To examine changes in regional variance in all cause mortality rates in Great Britain from 1931-91 using formal statistical modelling procedures, and to follow up the suggestion by Illsley and Le Grand that there has been a reduction over time in the regional variance in younger but not older age groups. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Data were the age and sex specific death rates around each census from 1931-91 for the Briti…

Mortality in Glasgow and Edinburgh
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to describe, predict, and interpret mortality in Glasgow and Edinburgh. DESIGN--The study was an analysis of all cause and cause specific mortality data for quinquennia based on census years between 1931 and 1981, linking age and sex specific mortality rates by year of birth, for people dying between the ages of 25 and 74 years. SETTING--Glasgow and Edinburgh, Scotland. MAIN RESULTS--Age and sex specific mortality rat…
Sampling Asian minorities to assess health and welfare
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aims were (1) to sample a specified subgroup of the Asian minority; (2) to give proper representation to those outside the areas of concentration; and (3) to evaluate the costs and benefits of the method. DESIGN--Glasgow postcodes with varying concentrations of Asians were sampled, and 173 Asians aged 30-40 were interviewed after household screening of 1439 Asian names identified on the electoral roll or valuation roll. Areas…
Correlates of blood pressure in 15 year olds in the west of Scotland
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to examine social and physical correlates of blood pressure in 15 year olds. DESIGN--This was the first, baseline, sweep of a longitudinal survey of 15 year olds based on a two stage stratified clustered random sample. SETTING--The Central Clydeside Conurbation, in the West of Scotland. In 1981 this had a population of 1.7 million and a standardised mortality ratio (relative to Scotland as a whole) of 109. SUBJECTS--A…

The effects of school membership on pupils’ educational outcomes
The article reports some of the major findings of a large‐scale longitudinal study of the progress and development of an age cohort of pupils during the junior years of education. The pupils attended a stratified random sample of 50 Inner London Education Authority (ILEA) primary schools during the period 1980‐84. The focus of the paper is an investigation of the existence and size of the effects of school membership upon these pupils’ progress i…
Decision theory and occupational choice
Several variants of behavioural decision theory were employed to predict the occupational intentions of 79 final‐year engineering students. Questionnaires were administered at 2 weekly intervals for 14 weeks. It was found that several models succeeded in predicting significantly; that predictive power increased over the period; and that intentions predicted the job actually obtained. In addition, some support was obtained for an effect of outside…
Occupational choice and expectancy‐value theory
Several variations of Vroom's expectancy‐value theory were applied to data obtained from two groups of engineering students. It was found that intentions to choose certain types of work were better predicted when individual regression weights were applied to belief‐value products, and when account was taken of students' beliefs about the attainability of work. Some evidence was found that subjective norms affected choice, but there was no support…
