Does equality legislation reduce intergroup differences? Religious affiliation, socio-economic status and mortality in Scotland and Northern Ireland: A cohort study of 400,000 people
Mortality differences and inequalities within and between ‘protected characteristics’ groups, in a Scottish Cohort 1991–2009
Mortality in Scotland is higher in the majority population, disabled people, males, those reporting being raised as Roman Catholics or with 'no religion' and lower in Asians, females and other religious groups. Relative inequalities in mortality were lower in disabled than nondisabled people, the majority population, females, and greatest in young adults. From the perspective of intersectionality theory, our results clearly demonstrate the import…
A Longitudinal Study of Migration Propensities for Mixed-Ethnic Unions in England and Wales
Most studies investigating residential segregation of ethnic minorities ignore the fact that the majority of adults live in couples. In recent years there has been a growth in the number of mixed ethnic unions that involve a minority member and a white member. To our knowledge, hardly any research has been undertaken to explicitly examine whether the ethnic mix within households has an impact on the residential choices of households in terms of t…
Neighbourhood ethnic mix and the formation of mixed‐ethnic unions in britain: A longitudinal analysis
Although developed societies are becoming increasingly ethnically diverse, relatively little research has been conducted on geographies of mixed‐ethnic unions (married or cohabiting). There is some recent evidence from the US that mixed‐ethnic couples are more likely to be found in mixed‐ethnic neighbourhoods, but this research is based on cross‐sectional data. Therefore it is not possible to determine whether mixed‐ethnic couples are more likely…
Are Mixed-Ethnic Unions More Likely to Dissolve Than Co-Ethnic Unions? New Evidence from Britain
Sectarianism: Myth or social reality? Inter-sectarian partnerships in Scotland, evidence from the Scottish Longitudinal Study
n This article explores the contested issue of whether sectarianism divides Catholics and Protestants in Scotland. The conclusions are based on an analysis of 111,627 couples from the 2001 Census. Young adults are much more likely than older people to have been raised with no religion This is largely due to a decline in the Protestant group, with Catholics remaining stable. The socio-economic disadvantage of older Catholics compared to Potestants…
P1-298 Trends in avoidable mortality in Scotland
Introduction Avoidable early deaths can be classified as preventable (due to behaviour) or amenable to treatment (Page, Tobias and Glover, 2007). Recent work from England to Wales (Wheller et al 2007) has shown that there have been differing trends for over the period 1993 to 2005 by types of avoidable death. For both men and women there was no trend for unavoidable death rates. Amenable death rates decreased more steeply for men than for women. …
What explains between-school differences in rates of sexual experience
Importantly, school processes did not explain the variation between schools in sexual experience. Rather, the variation may have been due to neighbourhood culture
The impact of British and US guidelines for initiating combination antiretroviral therapy on estimating national treatment requirements for HIV-positive patients
This paper uses comprehensive national data on HIV positive patients in Scotland to carry out a needs assessment exercise for combination antiretroviral therapy. The objective of this study was to estimate the numbers of HIV positive patients in Scotland who would be eligible for combination antiretroviral therapy under current British and US guidelines and to demonstrate the impact of these different guidelines on the resources required. The pro…

Exit, choice and loyalty: The impact of parental choice on admissions to secondary schools in Edinburgh and Dundee
This paper analyses the effects of parental choice on first‐year admissions to 20 non‐denominational secondary schools in Edinburgh and ten in Dundee. Although Dundee is a more working‐class city than Edinburgh, the take‐up of placing requests in Dundee was somewhat higher than in Edinburgh. There was a substantial increase in the take‐up of placing requests in both cities over the period 1982‐85 (from 13.5% to 21.0% of the S1 intake in Edinburgh…
A Tale of Two Cities: The impact of parental choice on admissions to primary schools in Edinburgh and Dundee
Section 28A of the Education (Scotland) Act 1980 gives parents in Scotland the right to choose the schools which they wish their children to attend. As of 1982, parents can make a ‘placing request’ for a school other than the school to which their child is allocated by the local authority, and the request must be granted unless one of a small number of statutory grounds for refusal applies. Before this date, local authorities were free to operate…
The Religious Alignment at English Elections between 1918 and 1970
Before World War I religion was a major determinant of voting in Britain. Butler and Stokes have used recent interview surveys, divided into cohorts, to trace the declining effect of religion on British partisanship or at least the present day results of that historic decline. This paper compares their findings with census based analyses of religion and voting at each election from 1918 to 1970 and for each major party. The results confirm and ex…
