The impact of person-environment fit from age-friendly neighbourhood on older adults' subjective wellbeing in China
How do residents perceive alcohol availability and its impact on drinking behaviour? A qualitative study
This is one of the few papers to explore residents' perspectives of local alcohol availability and its relationship with alcohol use. It highlights that residents view alcohol availability as encompassing more than just the physical presence of outlets, recognising also the variety of outlet types and the connections between availability, pricing, and advertising. Policies to reduce local availability should consider residents' perspectives and a…
“Availability is the poor cousin of marketing and pricing”
Background: Reducing alcohol and tobacco availability is one potential way to reduce harm from these unhealthy commodities. This study explores key stakeholders' views in relation to policy priorities and considerations for both alcohol and tobacco availability. Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 14 stakeholders from alcohol and/or tobacco third sector organizations, government, public health and licensing in Scotland. Intervie…
Public and professional stakeholders’ perceptions of alcohol advertising and availability policies
Can Topic Modeling of Local Newspaper Texts Enhance Understanding of Neighborhood Effects on Health
Social attributes of neighborhoods, like heritage, and low‐level social disorder, are not reflected in official metrics such as deprivation indices. However, research suggests these attributes are important for understanding spatial variations in health and social outcomes. This exploratory study investigated whether recurring themes in local newspaper articles capture meaningful social characteristics that help explain neighborhood health resili…
Quantile regression of tobacco tax pass-through in the UK 2017–2021
Our evidence shows heterogeneous levels of tax pass-through by price, region and level of deprivation. The findings emphasise the importance of understanding the pricing strategies of the tobacco industry (TI) and how these vary across the UK to develop robust approaches to mitigate the pricing strategies of the TI
Purchase price of tobacco in small retailers in Great Britain
Differences in average price paid for tobacco between more and less deprived neighbourhoods reflect variations in numbers of purchases across price segments. Combined (FMC and RYO) tobacco prices per stick have fallen, reflecting increasing RYO sales. Innovative approaches are required to respond to the tobacco industry's price differentiation by both price segment and product type and the growing importance of lower price RYO products
Commercial Determinants of Health
The global rise of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) presents an international public health policy challenge. Critical agents in this global trend are the activities and growth strategies of large transnational companies (TNCs) producing, selling and marketing unhealthy commodities including tobacco, alcohol and ultra-processed food. However, little geographical scholarship has considered the corporate activities of TNCs and the implications for …
Neighbourhood social cohesion, loneliness and multimorbidity
In the context of population ageing, multimorbidity is an increasingly prevalent public health issue that has a substantial impact on both individuals and healthcare systems. Alongside the literature looking at risk factors at the individual level, there is a growing body of research examining the role of neighbourhoods in the development of multimorbidity. However, most of this work has focused on physical features of place such as air pollution…
Depression Among Older Adults in China
The global prevalence of depression among older adults continues to increase alongside rapid urban development. Scant attention has been paid, however, to how exposure to urbanicity over the life course affects older adults’ depressive symptoms, particularly in China, which has undergone substantial recent urbanization. Using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) with its Life History Survey, this study adopts a li…
Geographical differences in the financial impacts of different forms of tobacco licence fees on small retailers in Scotland
The introduction of tobacco licence fees offers a potential opportunity for reducing the availability of tobacco retailers. The likely impact of a tobacco licence fee is sensitive to the type of licence scheme implemented, the level at which fees are set and the retailers' location in relation to neighbourhood deprivation and rurality
Health geography in the time of Covid-19
A longitudinal analysis of the impact of the local tobacco retail availability and neighbourhood deprivation on male smoking behaviours in Shanghai, China
Some evidence from Western high-income countries suggests local tobacco retail availability and neighbourhood deprivation may influence smoking behaviours. However, this assertion has not been considered in China, where 44% of males continue to smoke. Data were analysed from Chinese males (n = 2054) who participated in Waves 3-5 (2009-2015) of the International Tobacco Control (ITC) China Survey by linking information on tobacco retail availabili…
The impact of place on multimorbidity
Multimorbidity, commonly defined as the co-existence of two or more long-term conditions, is a major global public health challenge with significant impacts for health and social care systems. There is a substantial body of work identifying different individual- and household-level determinants of multimorbidity, yet the role of place-based characteristics in affecting multimorbidity remains limited. This systematic scoping review identifies plac…
Exploring the influence of local alcohol availability on drinking norms and practices
Potential impacts of spatial restrictions on tobacco retail availability in China
Spatial restrictions offer potential new policy opportunities to reduce retail availability, but some may increase social inequality in accessing tobacco. For effective tobacco control, policymakers should consider the overall and equity impacts of spatial restrictions when developing comprehensive tobacco retail regulations
Unequally Unequal? Contextual-level status inequality and social cohesion moderating the association between individual-level socioeconomic position and systemic chronic inflammation
Inequalities in hs-CRP were greatest among participants living in areas wherein a majority of residents were in advantaged SEPs and social cohesion was low. In other combinations of these contextual characteristics, inequalities in systemic chronic inflammation were not detectable or potentially even reversed
Non-linear association between residential greenness and general health among old adults in China
Inequalities in children’s exposure to alcohol outlets in Scotland
Children have little control over what they are exposed to, so policies that reduce inequities in alcohol availability should be prioritised to ensure that all children have the opportunity to lead healthy lives
Is tobacco a driver of footfall among small retailers? A geographical analysis of tobacco purchasing using electronic point of sale data
Tobacco's importance as a driver of footfall and related turnover among convenience retailers has reduced significantly in Britain in recent years, particularly in deprived and urban areas, undermining industry claims that tobacco is essential to the viability of these businesses
Assessing the profile of support for potential tobacco control policies targeting availability in Great Britain
Requiring tobacco retailer licensing and restrictions on sales near schools received majority support. Other tobacco availability policies received substantial support despite considerable opposition

Scaling up
Research into the role of place in shaping inequalities in health has focused largely on examining individual and/or localised drivers, often using a context-composition framing. Whilst this body of work has advanced considerably our understanding of the effects of local environments on health, and re-established an awareness of the importance of place for health, it has done so at the expense of marginalising and minimising the influences of mac…
Environmental justice and health
Understanding persistent and increasing spatial inequalities in health is an important field of academic enquiry for geographers, epidemiologists and public health researchers. Delivering robust explanations for the growing spatial divide in health offers potential for improving health outcomes across the social spectrum, but particularly among disadvantaged groups. One potential driver for the increasing geographical differences in health is the…
Sociospatial inequalities in health-related behaviours
There has been a resurgence of interest in how the social, built and cultural environments contribute to shaping health outcomes. The pathways relating place to health behaviour have received less attention. We develop a nuanced understanding of the pathways linking individuals, places and smoking. Two key pathways operate: place-based ‘practices’ and place-based ‘regulation’. Future geographical research should pay attention to the different sca…
Green space and cognitive ageing
International evidence suggests that green space has beneficial effects on general and mental health but little is known about how lifetime exposure to green space influences cognitive ageing. Employing a novel longitudinal life course approach, we examined the association between lifetime availability of public parks and cognitive ageing. Lifetime residential information was gathered from the participants of the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 using a…
Life course of place
A multitude of studies have demonstrated that individual circumstances throughout life influence subsequent health and well‐being outcomes. The life‐course perspective emphasises that health is affected by the accumulation of social and economic (dis)advantages over an individual's life but, importantly, also that there can be critical periods where the effects of exposure can be greater. Yet few researchers have applied a life‐course perspective…
Neighbourhoods and health
Objective: Recent studies suggest an association between the contextual attributes of neighbourhoods and the health status of residents. However, there has been a scarcity of studies that have directly measured the material characteristics of neighbourhoods theorised to have an impact on health and health inequalities. This paper describes the development of an innovative methodology to measure geographical access to a range of community resource…

Desperately seeking reductions in health inequalities
Following government commitments to reducing health inequalities from 1997 onwards, the UK has been recognised as a global leader in health inequalities research and policy. Yet health inequalities have continued to widen by most measures, prompting calls for new research agendas and advocacy to facilitate greater public support for the upstream policies that evidence suggests are required. However, there is currently no agreement as to what new …

Environmental inequalities in New Zealand
Deprived yet healthy
Nomadic identities and socio-spatial competence
The reconstruction of smoking as an unhealthy practice has given rise to a discursive field in which some people shy away from smoking identities that are tainted with the attendant notions of dirt and disgust and also from overt external control over individual behaviour. In many cases individuals demonstrate social competence by quitting smoking. Social and secret smokers challenge both binary understandings of smoking identities (smoker/non-sm…
Every Breath You Take? Environmental Justice and Air Pollution in Christchurch, New Zealand
In a number of environmental-justice studies it has been noted that the exposure to an array of air pollutants varies between different social groups. This inequality in exposure is one possible explanation for the variations in pollution-related health outcomes such as lung cancer and other respiratory diseases. Previous environmental-justice studies that have focused upon air pollution have tended to be concerned with exposure to industrial and…
Complexity and Uncertainty in Geography of Health Research
Geographers, including those interested in the relationships between health and place, have made important contributions to how, when, and where humans are exposed to and influenced by different spatial contexts. Using detailed and sometimes real-time spatial and temporal data, geographers have enhanced our understanding of how people move within and between different social and physical environments and the implications for health outcomes and b…
Can a deterministic spatial microsimulation model provide reliable small-area estimates of health behaviours? An example of smoking prevalence in New Zealand
Developing Summary Measures of Health-Related Multiple Physical Environmental Deprivation for Epidemiological Research
Socioeconomic deprivation accounts for much of the spatial inequality in health in the UK, but a significant proportion remains unexplained. It is highly likely that the physical environment is a key factor in this unexplained variation. The role of the socioeconomic environment in health inequalities has been studied using small-area measures of multiple socioeconomic deprivation that capture the burden of socioeconomic adversity. Although simil…
Alcohol Risk Environments, Vulnerability, and Social Inequalities in Alcohol Consumption
Alcohol and alcohol related harm are key public health challenges. Research has shown that individual level factors, such as age and sex, are important predictors of alcohol consumption, but such factors provide only a partial account of the drivers of consumption. In this paper we argue that individual level factors interact with features of the 'risk environment' to increase the vulnerability of individuals to such environments. Features of the…
Neighbourhood Destination Accessibility Index
The sharp increase in obesity in recent years has prompted researchers to examine the various pathways through which urban built environments influence population-level physical activity. Walking access to everyday destinations is one such pathway. This paper describes a measure of pedestrian access to neighbourhood destinations. Using eight domains of neighbourhood destinations (education, transport, recreation, social and cultural, food retail,…

Is local alcohol outlet density related to alcohol-related morbidity and mortality in Scottish cities
Alcohol consumption may be influenced by the local alcohol retailing environment. This study is the first to examine neighbourhood alcohol outlet availability (on- and off-sales outlets) and alcohol-related health outcomes in Scotland. Alcohol-related hospitalisations and deaths were significantly higher in neighbourhoods with higher outlet densities, and off-sales outlets were more important than on-sales outlets. The relationships held for most…

Are socially disadvantaged neighbourhoods deprived of health-related community resources?
BACKGROUND: Recent work in a number of countries has identified growing geographical inequalities in health between deprived and non-deprived neighbourhoods. The health gaps observed cannot be entirely explained by differences in the characteristics of individuals living in those neighbourhoods, which has led to a concerted international public health research effort to determine what contextual features of neighbourhoods matter. This article rep…

Put on a Jacket, You Wuss
Central heating, insulation, and double glazing, such as you might find in many countries with colder climates in the northern hemisphere, are virtually lacking in Christchurch, in New Zealand's South Island. In this city, houses tend to be inadequately heated and rely primarily on a combination of open fires, log burners, and electrical heaters. This form of home heating, combined with local climatic and topographical factors, results in high le…

Regional and Urban–Rural Variations in the Association of Neighbourhood Deprivation with Community Resource Access
Recent work has identified growing geographical inequalities in health between deprived and nondeprived areas in a number of countries. Despite the plethora of studies monitoring these trends, the explanations for this growing spatial divide remain unclear. This lack of clarity has been a hindrance to the implementation of strategies by policymakers to reduce health inequalities. One explanation for the noted spatial differences in health is that…

Scared straight? Fear-appeal anti-smoking campaigns, risk, self-efficacy and addiction
Smokers are becoming increasingly stigmatised in the contemporary West. Based on a qualitative study in Christchurch, New Zealand, this research aimed to investigate the ways that people respond to anti-smoking campaigns and to raise concerns about the ways that fear-appeal campaigns in particular may serve to reinforce the stigmatisation of ‘hard-core’ smokers. Generally, campaigns have been effective and behaviour change has occurred in groups …
Do smoking cessation programmes influence geographical inequalities in health? An evaluation of the impact of the Pegs programme in Christchurch, New Zealand
Although enrolees were drawn from a wide variety of backgrounds, those most likely to quit tended to reside in affluent areas or areas with a low proportion of Māori. There was no evidence that this smoking cessation programme increased or decreased inequalities within the Christchurch population. For smoking cessation programmes to have an impact on health inequalities more effort is required in targeting hard-to-reach groups and in encouraging …
