Conflicting perspectives during guidelines development are an important source of implementation failure
In recent years many countries have created national bodies that provide evidence-based guidance and policy relating to the commissioning and provision of healthcare services. However, such guidance often fails to be consistently implemented. The differing perspectives from which guidance is developed is suggested as a significant contributor to these failures. A societal perspective is, necessarily, taken by policy makers, while patients and the…
Population-level linkages between urban greenspace and health inequality
Exposure to greenspace in urban environments is associated with a range of improved health and well-being outcomes. There is a need to understand which aspects of greenspace influence which components of health. We investigate the relationship of indicators of greenspace quantity (total and specific types of greenspace), accessibility and quality with poor general health, depression, and severe mental illness, in the city of Sheffield, UK. We fin…
Understanding the socioeconomic equity of publicly accessible greenspace distribution
Urban greenspace can improve the health of local residents by facilitating physical activity, psychological restoration, and social contacts, as well as through amelioration of the physical environment and immune system modulation. In some cases, greenspace exposure has been reported to reduce health inequalities associated with deprivation. However, studies investigating the socioeconomic equity of greenspace distribution find conflicting result…
Socioeconomic deprivation, mortality and health of within-city migrants
BACKGROUND: Evidence linking selective migration (the situation where people in good health move from deprived to affluent areas, whilst people in poor health move in the opposite direction) within local areas to mortality is inconclusive. METHODS: Mortality in within-city migrants was examined using a Sheffield population cohort, adjusted for moves to care homes. The cohort comprised 310 894 people aged 25+ years in 2001 followed up for 9.18 yea…
Mapping Patterns and Trends in the Spatial Availability of Alcohol Using Low-Level Geographic Data
Much literature examines the relationship between the spatial availability of alcohol and alcohol-related harm. This study aims to address an important gap in this evidence by using detailed outlet data to examine recent temporal trends in the sociodemographic distribution of spatial availability for different types of alcohol outlet in England. Descriptive analysis of measures of alcohol outlet density and proximity using extremely high resoluti…
Trends in alcohol-related admissions to hospital by age, sex and socioeconomic deprivation in England, 2002/03 to 2013/14
Our study expands the evidence base to help understand population level trends in alcohol-related admissions by age, sex and socioeconomic deprivation. There have been increasing hospital admissions attributable to alcohol between 2002/03 and 2013/14, particularly concentrated in middle aged males and deprived areas. However, the increase in young females being admitted for 'Intentional self-poisoning due to alcohol' raises additional concerns
The health benefits of urban green spaces
BACKGROUND: Urban development projects can be costly and have health impacts. An evidence-based approach to urban planning is therefore essential. However, the evidence for physical and non-physical health benefits of urban green space is unclear. METHODS: A literature search of academic and grey literature was conducted for studies and reviews of the health effects of green space. Articles found were appraised for their relevance, critically rev…
Socioeconomic deprivation, urban-rural location and alcohol-related mortality in England and Wales
Large inequalities in alcohol-related mortality exist between sub-groups of the population in England and Wales. These should be considered when designing public health policies to reduce alcohol-related harm
Socioeconomic deprivation, travel distance, and renal replacement therapy in the Trent Region, United Kingdom 2000
he incidence of chronic renal failure rises with age and is higher in men and in people of Asian and Afro-Caribbean origin. A study using data from 1991-3 found that renal replacement therapy rates were related to age, ethnicity, socioeconomic deprivation, and travel distance to renal units. We examined utilisation rates in relation to socioeconomic deprivation and travel distance to renal units as part of the needs assessment and planning proces…
Multiple myeloma in south Cumbria
Accepted for publication 16 September 1998 In 1985 a paper in this journal analysed an apparent cluster of multiple myeloma in South Cumbria, England.1 The study was prompted by reports of seven cases of multiple myeloma in Walney Island. This is a small community adjacent to a shipyard that builds nuclear sub marines and is 15 miles away from Sellafield Nuclear Processing Plant. These seven cases occurred over seven year time period 1974-1980, d…
Socioeconomic deprivation, ethnicity, and stroke mortality in Greater London and south east England
OBJECTIVE AND SETTING: To examine geographical variation in stroke mortality in Greater London compared with the surrounding South East Region of England. DESIGN: Cross sectional, ecological analysis based on electoral wards. SUBJECTS: Resident population aged 45 years or more. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Age specific stroke mortality rates in five age bands, 1986-92. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Age specific stroke mortality rates in five age bands, 1986-92.…
Trends in stroke mortality in Greater London and south east England--evidence for a cohort effect
OBJECTIVE AND SETTING: To examine time trends in stroke mortality in Greater London compared with the surrounding South East Region of England. DESIGN: Age-cohort analysis based on routine mortality data. SUBJECTS: Resident population aged 45 years or more. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Age specific stroke mortality rates, 1951-92. MAIN RESULTS: In 1951, stroke mortality was lower in Greater London than the surrounding South East Region in all age bands …
