  • Making it on the breadline – improving food security on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands, Central Australia

    Open AccessAmanda J Lee, Amanda Lee et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    This co-designed study demonstrates the effectiveness of community-led approaches, confirming that it is possible to improve food security and diet in remote Aboriginal communities. However, sustained action and monitoring, dedicated resources and employment of local people are critical for success. Results also highlight that low incomes are a major barrier to food security

  • Occupation and risk of severe Covid-19

    Open AccessMiriam Mutambudzi, Claire L Niedzwiedz et al.ARTICLEOccupational and Environmental…2021

    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…

  • Culturally adapting the prevention of diabetes and obesity in South Asians (Podosa) trial

    Open AccessSunita Wallia, Raj S Bhopal et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2014

    Type 2 diabetes is extremely common in South Asians, e.g. in men from Pakistani and Indian populations it is about three times as likely as in the general population in England, despite similarities in body mass index. Lifestyle interventions reduce the incidence of diabetes. Trials in Europe and North America have not, however, reported on the impact on South Asian populations separately or provided the details of their cross-cultural adaptation…

  • Social Position and Health

    Open AccessPeter Craig, John ForbesARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2005

    There is growing international interest in the choice of socioeconomic indicators for health research. This study used a combination of standard and novel methods to compare three occupation-based measures of social position in terms of their ability to explain variation and measure inequality in self-assessed health. The recently developed National Statistics Socioeconomic Classification (NS-SEC) is compared with its predecessor, the Registrar G…

  • Development of a Neonatal Case-mix Classification

    John F Forbes, John Forbes et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1988

    This article introduces a neonatal classification based on latent class analysis. The neonatal classification generates five distinct classes ranging from the normal-birth-weight, full-term, healthy baby to the low-birth-weight preterm infant with many life-threatening problems. Unlike several suggested neonatal classifications, latent class analysis accommodates the range and severity of illness typically encountered in neonatal populations. It …

  • Pre-term Foetal Life Times in Scotland

    Ruth M Pickering, Ruth Pickering et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies1986Citada por: 2

    A proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the association between ten categorical covariates and the risk of pre-term delivery for women having their first child and women in subsequent pregnancies. An adaptation of the model for use with grouped survival times made it possible to model foetal life times between 28 and 36 completed weeks of gestation for 67,000 Scottish singleton births in 1981. The use of the model was justified by testi…

  • Influence of maternal age, parity and social class on perinatal mortality in Scotland

    Open AccessJ F Forbes, John Forbes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1985

    This paper examines secular changes in the influence of maternal age, parity and social class on perinatal mortality in Scotland. Despite changes in reproductive behaviour, improved access to maternity services and more effective perinatal care, the influence of maternal age and social class on perinatal mortality remained unchanged between 1960 and 1982. Although there were no significant changes in the traditional J-shaped association between p…

  • Perinatal mortality in Scotland

    J F Forbes, John Forbes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1982Citada por: 3Referencias: 1

    An examination of the recent decline in perinatal mortality in Scotland during the 1970s showed that despite substantial changes in fertility and the demographic pattern of births, differences in the age, parity, and social class composition of the obstetric population in this decade accounted for just 7% of the overall improvement in perinatal mortality between 1970 and 1979. The general pattern of relative risks associated with maternal age, pa…

  • Burden Sharing, Strategy, and the Design of Nato

    Open AccessTod Sandler, Todd Sandler et al.ARTICLEEconomic Inquiry1980

    This study shows that recent technological advancements in weapons, the policy of detente, and the strategic reorientation of NATO are increasing the relative importance of damage-limiting weapons. The resulting increases in excludable benefits and common-interest awareness permit NATO allies to share defense burdens more efficiently via markets according to benefits received than was the case in the 1960s. The statistical results support our hyp…

  • In Defense of a Collective Goods Theory of Alliances

    Open AccessTod Sandler, Todd Sandler et al.ARTICLEJournal of Conflict Resolution1980Citada por: 10Referencias: 11

    This article defends the collective goods theory of alliances by showing that club theory is an appropriate tool for analyzing allocative issues of alliances from a positive prospective. The article concludes with a demonstration that Oppenheimer made an analytical mistake when he questioned the normative importance of Pareto optimality
