Tracing the origins of teacher gender bias
This paper examines whether teachers form gendered expectations that deviate from students’ actual academic performance. We exploit a unique institutional setting in England, where university admissions rely on teacher-predicted grades, and use rich administrative data linking student performance and teacher assessments across multiple STEM and non-STEM subjects. We find that, conditional on achieved grades, teachers systematically predict lower …
Ranking group-level outcomes with multilevel models: An information-theoretic measure of statistical separation
Social epidemiologists frequently aim to quantify how social, spatial, or organizational contexts shape individual outcomes, an aim commonly addressed through the use of multilevel models. These models readily estimate the magnitude of group-level differences, but it is more difficult to formalize the uncertainty in the relative ordering of predicted group-level outcomes, which is often considered qualitatively in practice. We propose an entropy-…
Antidepressant discontinuation in France from an intersectional perspective: A discrete-time survival analysis within the Maihda framework
Antidepressant (AD) discontinuation before remission is common in depression care, despite guidelines recommending continuation for six months after remission to prevent relapse. Evidence suggests that socially disadvantaged groups are more likely to discontinue treatment despite higher depression severity, which may contribute to widening inequalities in mental health care. Most studies focus on single social characteristics rather than consider…
Food banks in schools in England
This article investigates the number and distribution of food banks in schools in England. Drawing on a novel source of nationally representative data, we show that one in five schools operate a food bank. This amounts to over 4000 school‐based food banks across the country. This important finding shows that there are now more food banks inside schools than outside of them. Our analysis, using responses from representative Teacher Tapp data ( n =…
Social and geographical inequalities in prenatal care coverage in Colombia: A multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (Maihda)
BACKGROUND: Access to adequate antenatal care (ANC) is crucial for improving maternal and neonatal health outcomes. Despite high national ANC coverage, Colombia still faces regional and socioeconomic disparities. This study aims to estimate geographical and intersectional inequalities in ANC coverage and evaluate the contribution of social determinants to these disparities. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional observational study using data fr…
Student intersectional sociodemographic and school variation in GCSE final grades in England following Covid-19 examination cancellations
In 2020, Covid-19 forced the cancellation of all student end-of-school examinations in England. Schools were asked to provide centre assessment grades (CAGs), offering their best estimates for what students would have achieved had they sat their examinations. Although initially replaced in favour of grades calculated via an algorithm, students were eventually awarded their CAGs following widespread public outcry over the calculated grades. Whethe…
An intersectional analysis of stranger, acquaintance and domestic violence victimisation in England and Wales using Maihda
This study investigates intersectional disparities in stranger, acquaintance and domestic violence victimisation using 5 years of Crime Survey for England and Wales data (N = 165,661). Using logistic Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy (MAIHDA), we estimate inequalities across 191 strata defined by combinations of gender, ethnicity, age, socioeconomic status (SES) and disability. Around 17%–26% of the total…
Stratified support: Shadow education and maths achievement in East Asia’s six top-performing jurisdictions
We examine how shadow education is associated with educational inequality and mathematics achievement in six top-performing East Asian jurisdictions: Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, Japan, Macao, Singapore, and South Korea. Using multilevel logistic and linear modelling on 2022 PISA data, we analyse the prevalence, socioeconomic stratification, and differential effects of five tutoring modes: one-to-one, internet/computer-based, asynchronous video ins…
The Statistical Advantages of Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy for Estimating Intersectional Inequalities
Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy (MAIHDA) is a multilevel regression approach grounded in intersectionality theory. It examines inequalities across intersections of social identities (e.g., gender, ethnicity, class) and is argued to provide more accurate predictions of intersectional means than conventional methods that estimate group means directly or via regressions with all interactions. This study ev…
Sociodemographic Inequalities in Student Achievement: An Intersectional Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy (Maihda)
Sociodemographic inequalities in student achievement are a persistent concern for education systems and are increasingly recognized to be intersectional. Intersectionality considers the multidimensional nature of disadvantage, appreciating the interlocking social determinants which shape individual experience. Intersectional multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (MAIHDA) is a new approach developed in populat…
Student sociodemographic and school type differences in teacher-predicted vs. achieved grades for university admission
In England, students apply to universities using teacher-predicted grades instead of their final end-of-school A-level examination results. Predicted rather than achieved grades therefore determine how ambitiously students apply to and receive offers from the most selective courses. The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) encourages teachers to make optimistic predictions to motivate students to apply ambitiously and achieve highe…
A tutorial for conducting intersectional multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (Maihda)
Intersectional multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (I-MAIHDA) is an innovative approach for investigating inequalities, including intersectional inequalities in health, disease, psychosocial, socioeconomic, and other outcomes. I-MAIHDA and related MAIHDA approaches have conceptual and methodological advantages over conventional single-level regression analysis. By enabling the study of inequalities produced…
Mapping socio-geographical disparities in the occurrence of teenage maternity in Colombia using multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (Maihda)
Disparities were observed between intersectional socio-geographical strata but not between geo-political departments. Our results indicate that if resources for prevention are limited, using an intersectional socio-geographical approach would be more effective than focusing on geopolitical departments especially when focusing resources on those groups which show the highest prevalence. MAIHDA could potentially be applied to many other health outc…

State and wealth inequalities in foundational literacy and numeracy skills of secondary school-aged children in Nigeria: A multilevel analysis
We investigate state and wealth inequalities in foundational literacy and numeracy skills of secondary school-aged children in Nigeria. We analyse the 2015 Nigerian Education Data Survey using multilevel logistic regression. Our findings reveal significant inequalities in foundational literacy and numeracy skills across states and socioeconomic groups within Nigeria. Over and above the stark household wealth effect, we find a substantial impact o…
An analysis of intersectional disparities in alcohol consumption in the US
Alcohol is one of the leading causes of preventable deaths in the United States (US). Prior research has demonstrated that alcohol consumption and related mortality are socially patterned; however, no study has investigated intersectional disparities in alcohol consumption, i.e., attending to how social positions overlap and interact. In this study, we used an innovative intersectional approach (Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and…
Extending intersectional multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (Maihda) to study individual longitudinal trajectories, with application to mental health in the UK
The intersectional Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy (MAIHDA) approach is gaining prominence in health sciences and beyond, as a robust quantitative method for identifying intersectional inequalities in a range of individual outcomes. However, it has so far not been applied to longitudinal data, despite the availability of such data, and growing recognition that intersectional social processes and determi…
Local government spending and mental health: Untangling the impacts using a dynamic modelling approach
This study investigated the impact of local government spending on mental health in England between 2013 and 2019. Guided by the "Health in All Policies" vision, which encourages the integration of health in all decision-making areas, we explored how healthcare and multiple nonmedical budgeting decisions related to population mental health. We used random curve general cross-lagged modelling to dynamically partition effects into the short-run (fr…
Local Geographic Variations in Children’s School Readiness - A Multilevel Analysis of the Development Gaps in England
The educational attainment levels of children in state-funded schools in England are lower than in many countries with comparable levels of economic development. There are also striking differences at the local level across England. To understand these differences it is important to examine children’s development in their early years. This research uses multilevel analysis of the National Pupil Database to investigate child development at ages 4 …
School differences on whether and where students apply to university
Going to university is a key route to enhancing life opportunities for young people and for promoting social mobility. Despite the action of widening participation programs, substantial sociodemographic inequalities in participation persist. Few studies have focused on the role that school attended may play in exacerbating or mitigating these inequalities. We explore these issues for England via analysing student-level linked DfE-Ofqual-UCAS admi…
Student mobility: Extent, impacts and predictors of a range of movement types for secondary school students in England
Moving school is a major event for students, with potential impacts on both student and school performance. Students can experience a diversity of move types, including variation in timing, origin and destination, though this complexity is not always acknowledged in studies or educational policies, which tend towards binary distinctions of movers versus non‐movers. However, it is crucial to understand the vulnerabilities and outcomes associated w…
Decomposing Ethnic Achievement Gaps across Multiple Levels of Analysis and for Multiple Ethnic Groups
Ethnic achievement gaps are often explained in terms of student and school factors. The decomposition of these gaps into their within- and between-school components has therefore been applied as a strategy to quantify the overall influence of each set of factors. Three competing approaches have previously been proposed, but each is limited to the study of student-school decompositions of the gap between two ethnic groups (e.g., White and Black). …
Ethnic Culture as Related to Sexual and Reproductive Behavior in the Republic of Suriname: The Pervasiveness of Culture
We examined the effects of culture and ethnicity on life history strategies in terms of sexual and reproductive behaviors. The sample included 500 adults, aged 25–50 years, from the five major ethnic groups in Suriname, i.e., the Maroons, Creoles, Hindustani, Javanese, and Mixed. First, there were strong gender differences: men reported to have had more sex partners and to have had their first sexual experience earlier than women, whereas women h…
Precision-weighted estimates of neonatal, post-neonatal and child mortality for 640 districts in India, National Family Health Survey 2016
BACKGROUND: The conventional indicators of infant and under-five mortality are aggregate deaths occurring in the first year and the first five years, respectively. Monitoring deaths by <1 month (neonatal), 1-11 months (post-neonatal), and 12-59 months (child) can be more informative given various etiological causes that may require different interventions across these three mutually exclusive periods. For optimal resource allocation, it is also n…
The Variability of Occupational Attainment: How Prestige Trajectories Diversified within Birth Cohorts over the Twentieth Century
This study develops and applies a framework for analyzing variability in individuals’ occupational prestige trajectories and changes in average variability between birth cohorts. It extends previous literature focused on typical patterns of intragenerational mobility over the life course to more fully examine intracohort differentiation. Analyses are based on rich life course data for men and women in West Germany born between 1919 and 1979 from …

Identifying Critical Points of Trajectories of Depressive Symptoms from Childhood to Young Adulthood
Depression is a common mental illness and research has focused on late childhood and adolescence in an attempt to prevent or reduce later psychopathology and/or social impairments. It is important to establish and study population-averaged trajectories of depressive symptoms across adolescence as this could characterise specific changes in populations and help identify critical points to intervene with treatment. Multilevel growth-curve models we…
How Collective Is Collective Efficacy? The Importance of Consensus in Judgments About Community Cohesion and Willingness to Intervene
Existing studies have generally measured collective efficacy by combining survey respondents’ ratings of their local area into an overall summary for each neighborhood. Naturally, this approach results in a substantive focus on the variation in average levels of collective efficacy between neighborhoods. In this article, we focus on the variation in consensus of collective efficacy judgments. To account for differential consensus among neighborho…
The evolution of school league tables in England 1992–2016: ‘Contextual value‐added’, ‘expected progress’ and ‘progress 8’
Since 1992, the UK Government has published so‐called ‘school league tables’ summarising the average General Certificate of Secondary Education ( GCSE ) ‘attainment’ and ‘progress’ made by pupils in each state‐funded secondary school in England. While the headline measure of school attainment has remained the percentage of pupils achieving five or more good GCSE s, the headline measure of school progress has changed from ‘value‐added’ (2002–2005)…
Understanding contextual effects on externalizing behaviors in children in out-of-home care: Influence of workers and foster families
A simple multilevel approach for analysing geographical inequalities in public health reports: The case of municipality differences in obesity
The epidemiological analysis of geographical inequalities in individual outcomes is a fundamental theme in public health research. However, many traditional studies focus on analysing area differences in averages outcomes, disregarding individual variation around such averages. In doing so, these studies may produce misleading information and lead researchers to draw incorrect conclusions. Analysing individual and municipality differences in body…
The Impact of Neighbourhood on the Income and Mental Health of British Social Renters
This paper examines the impact of neighbourhood on the income and mental health of individuals living in social housing in the UK. It exploits a dataset that is representative and longitudinal to match people to their very local neighbourhoods. Using this, the paper examines the effect of living in a neighbourhood in which the population is more disadvantaged on the levels and change, over a 10-year window, of income and mental health. It is foun…
Child and contextual effects in the emergence of differential maternal sensitivity across siblings
The present study examined the effects of socioeconomic status (SES) and sibling differences in birth weight on sibling differences in the receipt of maternal sensitivity (i.e., differential parenting). It was hypothesized that sibling differences in birth weight would predict absolute differential parenting across the sibship (i.e., the more different siblings' birth weight, the more different the level of sensitivity in the family, overall) and…
The importance of adjusting for pupil background in school value‐added models: A study of Progress 8 and school accountability in England
In the UK , USA and elsewhere, school accountability systems increasingly compare schools using value‐added measures of school performance derived from pupil scores in high‐stakes standardised tests. Rather than naïvely comparing school average scores, which largely reflect school intake differences in prior attainment, these measures attempt to compare the average progress or improvement pupils make during a year or phase of schooling. Schools, …

Preferred Parental Control of Mate Choice, Opposition to Out-Group Mating, and Ethnic Identification in Surinam
This study examined the attitude toward parental control of mate choice, and two potential factors related to this, that is, opposition to out-group mating and ethnic identification, in the five major ethnic groups from the Republic of Surinam ( n = 500), that is, Hindustani, Creoles, Maroons, Javanese, and people of Mixed descent. Some of the main differences between groups were the following: Hindustani and Maroons had a more positive attitude …
Observed sensitivity during family interactions and cumulative risk: A study of multiple dyads per family
The present study sought to investigate the family, individual, and dyad-specific contributions to observed cognitive sensitivity during family interactions. Moreover, the influence of cumulative risk on sensitivity at the aforementioned levels of the family was examined. Mothers and 2 children per family were observed interacting in a round robin design (i.e., mother-older sibling, mother younger-sibling and sibling-dyad, N = 385 families). Data…
Multilevel modeling analysis of dyadic network data with an application to Ye'kwana food sharing
Behavioral ecologists have recently begun using multilevel modeling for the analysis of social behavior. We present a multilevel modeling formulation of the Social Relations Model that is well suited for the analysis of dyadic network data. This model, which we adapt for count data and small datasets, can be fitted using standard multilevel modeling software packages. We illustrate this model with an analysis of meal sharing among Ye'kwana hortic…

Ethnic differences in jealousy in Surinam
The present study examined differences in three types of jealousy (reactive, anxious, and preventive jealousy) between the major ethnic groups in Surinam (Maroons, Creoles, Hindustani, Javanese, and Mixed). About 100 participants from each ethnic group (total n = 500) were interviewed. Results showed differences between the groups in anxious and preventive jealousy, but not in reactive jealousy. More specifically, Maroons reported most anxious an…
Trends in examination performance and exposure to standardised tests in England and Wales
Schools in England and Wales since the late 1980s have been compared in terms of their performances in public examinations and standardised test scores in the form of ‘school league tables’, with Wales ceasing to produce these after 2001. One of the factors related to performance in examinations is the choice of the examination board, with five main boards currently active in England and Wales. In this paper, we study differences in student uptak…

An Original Stepwise Multilevel Logistic Regression Analysis of Discriminatory Accuracy: The Case of Neighbourhoods and Health
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Many multilevel logistic regression analyses of "neighbourhood and health" focus on interpreting measures of associations (e.g., odds ratio, OR). In contrast, multilevel analysis of variance is rarely considered. We propose an original stepwise analytical approach that distinguishes between "specific" (measures of association) and "general" (measures of variance) contextual effects. Performing two empirical examples we illustr…

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Sweden: An intersectional multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy
Socioeconomic, ethnic and gender disparities in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) risk are well established but no studies have applied multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (MAIHDA) within an intersectional framework to study this outcome. We study individuals at the first level of analysis and combinations of multiple social and demographic categorizations (i.e., intersectional strata) at the sec…
General and specific contextual effects in multilevel regression analyses and their paradoxical relationship: A conceptual tutorial
To be relevant for public health, a context (e.g., neighborhood, school, hospital) should influence or affect the health status of the individuals included in it. The greater the influence of the shared context, the higher the correlation of subject outcomes within that context is likely to be. This intra-context or intra-class correlation is of substantive interest and has been used to quantify the magnitude of the general contextual effect (GCE…
Analysing inter-provincial urban migration flows in China: A new multilevel gravity model approach
This paper proposes a novel multilevel gravity model of migration to study the under-researched topic of urban to urban migration in China. Many previous studies have looked at rural to urban migration in the context of urbanisation and economic development, and at return migration. Very few have looked at what is becoming more important in increasingly urbanised countries, which is the movement from one urban location to another. In the study, w…

Intersectional inequalities and the U.S. opioid crisis: Challenging dominant narratives and revealing heterogeneities
Dominant narratives of prescription opioid misuse (POM) in the U.S. have portrayed it as an issue primarily affecting White communities. In this study we explore POM as reported in data from the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, using an intersectional multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (MAIHDA). We map the risk of POM through a series of multilevel models with individuals (N = 43,409) nested wi…
