  • Individual characteristics, area social participation, and primary non-concordance with medication

    Open AccessKristina Johnell, M Lindstrom et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2006

    Our results indicate that people in central Sweden with younger age, financial difficulties, low self-rated health, and low trust in the health care system may have a higher probability of primary non-concordance with medication. However, the area of residence--as defined by administrative boundaries--seems to play a minor role for primary non-concordance

  • A brief conceptual tutorial of multilevel analysis in social epidemiology

    Juan Merlo, Basile Chaix et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2006Cited by: 91References: 11

The aim of this study was to present measures of variation appropriate for the logistic case in a didactic rather than a mathematical way. Design and participants: Data were used from the health survey conducted in 2000 in the county of Scania, Swed…

  • Low adherence with antihypertensives in actual practice

    Open AccessKristina Johnell, Lennart Råstam et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2005

    Low social participation seems to be associated with low adherence with antihypertensives during the last two weeks, and this association may be modified by the municipality of residence. Future studies aimed at investigating health-related behaviours in general and low adherence with medication in particular might benefit if they consider area of residence

  • Neighbourhood social participation and women’s use of anxiolytic-hypnotic drugs

    Kristina Johnell, J Merlo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2004Cited by: 1References: 17

    Study objectives: To identify and quantify a hypothesised collective effect of the neighbourhood on individual use of anxiolytic-hypnotic drugs (AHD). To analyse the general impact of neighbourhood social participation on use of AHD, adjusting for individual characteristics. Design: Cross sectional analysis performed by multilevel logistic regression with women at the first level and neighbourhoods at the second level. Setting: Malmö (250 000 inh…
