Effectiveness of the Let’s Move It multi-level vocational school-based intervention on physical activity and sedentary behavior
BACKGROUND: Low levels of physical activity (PA), more prevalent among those with low education, require effective interventions. Fewer trials have tested interventions to decrease sedentary behavior (SB). No school-based interventions have shown lasting effects on PA or SB in vocational schools. PURPOSE: To examine whether the Let's Move It intervention has effects on behavioral and clinical outcomes among vocational students after 2 and 14 mont…
An effective ‘weapon’ for the weak? Digital media and interest groups’ media success
The equalization-normalization debate concerns whether the Internet equalizes politics by empowering resource-poor organizations, or whether it further strengthens the position of resource-rich organizations. We address this debate by studying how interest groups’ utilization of digital media is associated with their success in influencing news media. We suggest digital media is characterized by the coexistence of old and new media logics that be…
What works? The association of organisational structure, reforms and interventions on efficiency in treating hip fractures
Many studies indicate huge regional and hospital-level differences in health care performance. In order to increase health system efficiency, it is important to know the reasons behind the differences and analyse the effects of those factors that can be affected by health policy. The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare various organisational factors and health policy interventions in the performance of the care of hip fracture patients i…
Using individual study profiles of first-year students in two different disciplines to predict graduation time
Despite vast research on transitioning to higher education and student diversity, little longitudinal evidence exists of how individual differences of first-year students predict their graduation times. The present study explored the relation between first-year students’ study profiles and graduation times in two different disciplines, by following the same students’ (N = 65) study progress for six years using student records data. Profiling stud…
Association between birth weight and educational attainment
BACKGROUND: There is evidence that birth weight is positively associated with education, but it remains unclear whether this association is explained by familial environmental factors, genetic factors or the intrauterine environment. We analysed the association between birth weight and educational years within twin pairs, which controls for genetic factors and the environment shared between co-twins. METHODS: The data were derived from nine twin …
Tenure structure and perceived social disorder in post-WWII suburban housing estates
Studies on post-World War II housing estates have largely focused on problematic neighbourhoods, and there is a scarcity of literature on housing estates across their entire social scale. Moreover, there is insufficient evidence on the extent to which tenure structure differentiates estates from each other in terms of social disorder. Using a large cluster sample of Finnish estates representing a wide variety of estate neighbourhoods, we examined…
Working people with type 1 diabetes in the Finnish population
Between 1992 and 2007, the number of working-aged people and workers with type 1 diabetes increased by 35%. Most workers with type 1 diabetes manage as well at work as the general population. Special attention should be paid to workers with type 1 diabetes when they are diagnosed and/or report moderate or poor work ability
How voter turnout varies between different chronic conditions? A population-based register study
BACKGROUND: While poor self-rated health is known to decrease an individual's propensity to vote, disaggregation of the components of health on turnout has thus far received only little attention. This study deepens on the understanding of such relationships by examining the association between chronic diseases and voting. METHODS: The study uses an individual-level register-based data set that contains an 11% random sample of the entire electora…
Short-term effects of the “Together at School” intervention program on children’s socio-emotional skills

Let’s Move It’ – a school-based multilevel intervention to increase physical activity and reduce sedentary behaviour among older adolescents in vocational secondary schools

Multiple social disadvantage does it have an effect on amenable mortality
In order to prevent and treat at an early phase conditions that otherwise may lead to premature and unnecessary deaths more attention should be focused on groups with increased social and economic deprivation risk in municipal health centres with the aim at improving access to primary care. Our results also call for joint action by both health-care and social services, since health services alone cannot deal with the risks posed by accumulating s…
Together at school” - a school-based intervention program to promote socio-emotional skills and mental health in children

Socioeconomic equity in amenable mortality in Finland 1992-2008
Rethinking relative measures of poverty
This paper attempts to develop an alternative measure for relative poverty. The aim is to combine information both on the depth of poverty and the number of people living in poverty. We seek, moreover, to establish a yardstick that would be relatively simple and easy to understand, so as to facilitate the use of such a new method in sociological poverty research and political decision making. The Cumulative Poverty Index (CUPI) indicates how many…
