The impact of the cost of living crisis and food insecurity on food purchasing behaviours and food preparation practices in people living with obesity
Lower income households are at greater risk of food insecurity and poor diet quality than higher income households. In high-income countries, food insecurity is associated with high levels of obesity, and in the UK specifically, the cost of living crisis (i.e., where the cost of everyday essentials has increased quicker than wages) is likely to have exacerbated existing dietary inequalities. There is currently a lack of understanding of the impac…
The spatial effect of alcohol availability on violence
Studies have identified an association between proximity to outlets selling alcohol and violent crime. The strength of this association has been known to vary spatially as not all areas have the same accessibility to alcohol outlets, suggesting local context matters. Within this evidence base, however, studies have not routinely incorporated spatial variance into their models. Moreover, whilst it is acknowledged that the characteristics of the al…
Community perceptions on the factors in the social food environment that influence dietary behaviour in cities of Kenya and Ghana
Objective: To explore communities’ perspectives on the factors in the social food environment that influence dietary behaviours in African cities. Design: A qualitative study using participatory photography (Photovoice). Participants took and discussed photographs representing factors in the social food environment that influence their dietary behaviours. Follow-up in-depth interviews allowed participants to tell the ‘stories’ of their photograph…
Thinking spatially to communicate and evaluate the roll-out of ‘mass’ testing in Liverpool, 2020

Predicting the selection of protein-containing foods in older adults
Updating Edwin Chadwick's seminal work on geographical inequalities by occupation
To honour the 175th anniversary of Edwin Chadwick's seminal 'Report on the Sanitary Conditions of the Labouring Poor', we update Chadwick's famous analysis of geographical differences in occupational based inequalities. Much of the field of Health Geography owes both its direction of development and its initial impetus to his 1842 report. The report presented evidence for the importance of local context to health, with individuals of the lowest o…
Visualising and quantifying ‘excess deaths’ in Scotland compared with the rest of the UK and the rest of Western Europe
BACKGROUND: Scotland has higher mortality rates than the rest of Western Europe (rWE), with more cardiovascular disease and cancer among older adults; and alcohol-related and drug-related deaths, suicide and violence among younger adults. METHODS: We obtained sex, age-specific and year-specific all-cause mortality rates for Scotland and other populations, and explored differences in mortality both visually and numerically. RESULTS: Scotland's age…
Could the rise in mortality rates since 2015 be explained by changes in the number of delayed discharges of NHS patients
BACKGROUND: 2015 saw the largest annual spike of mortality rates in England in almost 50 years. We examine whether these changes in mortality rates are associated with an indicator of poor functioning of health and social care: delay in hospital discharges. METHODS: Office for National Statistics monthly data of death counts and mortality rates for the period August 2010-March 2016 were compared with delays in discharges from National Health Serv…
Can intersectionality theory enrich population health research
Using Internal Migration to Estimate the Causal Effect of Neighborhood Socioeconomic Context on Health
There is long-standing evidence for the existence of geographical inequalities in health. Multiple conceptual frameworks have been proposed to explain why such patterns persist. The methodological design for these studies is often not appropriate for identifying causal effects of neighborhood context, however. It is possible that findings that show the importance of neighborhoods could be subject to confounding of individual-level factors, neighb…
Internal migration, area effects and health
Global, regional, and national levels of neonatal, infant, and under-5 mortality during 1990–2013
BACKGROUND: Remarkable financial and political efforts have been focused on the reduction of child mortality during the past few decades. Timely measurements of levels and trends in under-5 mortality are important to assess progress towards the Millennium Development Goal 4 (MDG 4) target of reduction of child mortality by two thirds from 1990 to 2015, and to identify models of success. METHODS: We generated updated estimates of child mortality i…
Global, regional, and national prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adults during 1980–2013
The equalisation hypothesis and changes in geographical inequalities of age based mortality in England, 2002-2004 to 2008-2010
Travel to School and Housing Markets
How children travel to school is at the centre of a complex set of interrelated issues with significant policy implications. This paper reviews the relation of patterns of travel to school to concerns about public health, school choice, urban form, and residential housing markets. The spatial relations between pupils' homes and the schools that they attend provides the basis of an analytical framework that links local neighbourhood characteristic…
