Ethnic differences in cognitive development in the first 7 years: Does maternal generational status matter
BACKGROUND: Differences in cognitive development have been observed across a variety of ethnic minority groups but relatively little is known about the persistence of these developmental inequalities over time or generations. METHODS: A repeat cross-sectional analysis assessed cognitive ability scores of children aged 3, 5 and 7 years from the longitudinal UK Millennium Cohort Study (white UK born n=7630; Indian n=248; Pakistani n=328; Bangladesh…
Ethnic and Religious Differences in the Attitudes of People towards Being 'British
Negative rhetoric and policy regarding Muslims has been justified according to a perceived lack of integration into British society. However, this lack of integration has not been empirically established and remains poorly described. This paper explores whether there are variations in levels of 'Britishness' and perceptions of the compatibility between Britishness and other cultural/religious identities among different minoritized groups in Engla…
Patterns and causes of health inequalities in later life: A Bourdieusian approach
This study explores the relationship between social class and health change in older people in a path analysis, using data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (n = 6241) in a Bourdieusian theoretical framework. Bourdieu drew a distinction between the occupational characteristics by which people are classified and the secondary properties of class that relate to lifestyle (economic, cultural and social capitals). Our path model includes …
Ethnic and religious variations in the reporting of racist victimization in Britain: 2000 And 2008/2009
The role of victimization in the generation of ethnic inequalities is increasingly acknowledged yet its impact on the lives of people with different religious affiliations remains underexplored. This is despite evidence of the importance of religion for forms of group identification and social mobilization. An exploration of the particular impact of religion as a focus for experiences of victimization may be particularly pertinent given the incre…
Influences on forms of national identity and feeling ‘at home’ among Muslim groups in Britain, Germany and Spain
Muslims in Europe are increasingly constructed as problematic and insular. This article examines whether this construction may be justified and the impact this has had on the attitudes of Muslims living in different countries in Europe. Over 70 percent of Bangladeshi, Turkish and Moroccan Muslims living in Britain, Germany and Spain, respectively, felt ‘at home’ in their country of residence. This sense of being at home, and whether the events of…
Impact of ethnic density on adult mental disorders: Narrative review
The social and economic circumstances of mixed ethnicity children in the UK: Findings from the Millennium Cohort Study
n The number of people with a ?mixed? ethnicity heritage is growing in contemporary Britain. Research in this area has largely focussed on implications for cultural and racialised identities, and little is known about associated economic and social factors. Data from the Millennium Cohort Study, a representative panel survey of children born in 2000/2001, are used to examine the circumstances of mixed ethnicity children in comparison with their n…
Racism, psychosis and common mental disorder among ethnic minority groups in England
Background. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between risk of psychosis, common mental disorder (CMD) and indicators of racism among ethnic minority groups in England and how this relationship may vary by particular ethnic groups. Method. A multivariate analysis was carried out of quantitative, cross-sectional data from a nationally representative community sample of people aged between 16 and 74 years from the largest ethnic …
The Structuring of Ethnic Inequalities in Health: Economic Position, Racial Discrimination, and Racism
Differences in health across ethnic groups have been documented in the United States and the United Kingdom. The extent to which socioeconomic inequalities underlie such differences remains contested, with many instead focusing on cultural or genetic explanations. In both the United States and the United Kingdom, data limitations have greatly hampered investigations of ethnic inequalities in health. Perhaps foremost of these is the inadequate mea…
Relation Between Racial Discrimination, Social Class, and Health Among Ethnic Minority Groups
The different ways in which racism may manifest itself (as interpersonal violence, institutional discrimination, or socioeconomic disadvantage) all have independent detrimental effects on health, regardless of the health indicator used

Genetic, Cultural or Socio-economic Vulnerability? Explaining Ethnic Inequalities in Health
Most work on ethnic inequalities in health in the UK has focused on genetic and cultural difference, ignoring issues relating to class disadvantage. However, more recent work, and that conducted in the US, suggests that material disadvantage might be crucial. Nevertheless, the wider sociological literature illustrates that ethnicity and 'race' cannot simply be reduced to class.This paper uses data from the Fourth National Survey of Ethnic Minorit…
Gender Differences in the Prevalence of Depression: Artefact, Alternative Disorders, Biology or Roles
Women's greater risk of depression is one of the most consistent findings in psychiatric epidemiology. However, the explanation for this difference remains contested. Here possible explanations were tested using a sample of couples where, because they had experienced a life event that was severe for both members, both the woman and man were at risk of depression. There was no evidence to suggest that the higher range of depression among women in …
