Is social media use associated with children's well‐being? Results from the UK Household Longitudinal Study
INTRODUCTION: There are concerns about young people's increasing use of social media and the effects this has on overall life satisfaction. Establishing the significance of social media use requires researchers to take simultaneous account of other factors that might be influential and it is essential to adopt a longitudinal perspective to investigate temporal patterns. METHOD: Measures of happiness for children aged 10-15 from 7 waves of the UK …
The utility of geodemographic indicators in small area estimates of limiting long-term illness
Small area health data are not always available on a consistent and robust routine basis across nations, necessitating the employment of small area estimation methods to generate local-scale data or the use of proxy measures. Geodemographic indicators are widely marketed as a potential proxy for many health indicators. This paper tests the extent to which the inclusion of geodemographic indicators in small area estimation methodology can enhance …
The tobacco endgame: The neglected role of place and environment
Using geocoded survey data to improve the accuracy of multilevel small area synthetic estimates
This paper examines the secondary data requirements for multilevel small area synthetic estimation (ML-SASE). This research method uses secondary survey data sets as source data for statistical models. The parameters of these models are used to generate data for small areas. The paper assesses the impact of knowing the geographical location of survey respondents on the accuracy of estimates, moving beyond debating the generic merits of geocoded s…
Understanding neighbourhood perceptions of alcohol-related anti-social behaviour
Negative perceptions of anti-social behaviour have been shown by previous research to have harmful repercussions to both an individual’s mental and physical health as well as the neighbourhood’s long-term prospects. Studies in the USA have previously found that the location of alcohol supply points is associated with these negative perceptions, whereas recent, more qualitative and ethnographic research from the UK emphasises the heterogenous and …
The convergent validity of three surveys as alternative sources of health information to the 2011 UK census
Censuses have traditionally been a key source of localised information on the state of a nation's health. Many countries are now adopting alternative approaches to the traditional census, placing such information at risk. The purpose of this paper is to inform debate about whether existing social surveys could provide an adequate 'base' for alternative model-based small area estimates of health data in a post traditional census era. Using a case …

Mind The Double Gap: Using Multivariate Multilevel Modelling to Investigate Public Perceptions of Crime Trends
This paper uses multivariate multilevel models with data from the British Crime Survey to investigate individual and neighbourhood influences on perceptions of local and national crime trends. In response to debates about the negative consequences of immigration and ethnic diversity, we specifically investigate the influence of ethnic heterogeneity on such perceptions. Results indicate that a person's socio-demographic background and their newspa…
Diversity and the Complexities of Ethnic Integration in the UK: Guest Editors' Introduction
Diversity or Disadvantage? Putnam, Goodhart, Ethnic Heterogeneity, and Collective Efficacy
Recent debates have suggested that increasing social diversity within Western economies is associated with adverse social consequences such as loss of community and decline of civic society, including an erosion of collective efficacy (ie shared expectations of and mutual engagement by residents in social control). In the UK and US, these debates have been given impetus by concerns about the effects of growing ethnic heterogeneity on community li…
Investigating perceptions of antisocial behaviour and neighbourhood ethnic heterogeneity in the British Crime Survey: Perceptions of antisocial behaviour and neighbourhood ethnic heterogeneity
There is much concern in the UK about the effects on community cohesion of antisocial behaviour, but to date relatively little is known about the geography of such behaviour: for what sort of people, and in what sort of places, are high levels of antisocial behaviour a problem? What are the links, if any, between such behaviour and local socio-economic conditions, and how do such perceptions relate to local crime rates? Using data from the Britis…
Smoking cessation in England: Intentionality, anticipated ease of quitting and advice provision
Sense of Place, Quality of Life and Local Socioeconomic Context: Evidence from the Survey of English Housing, 2002/03
This paper explores associations between local socioeconomic context and perceptions of neighbourhood quality of life, using a multilevel modelling approach to analyse data from the 2002/03 Survey of English Housing. A range of individual, property and area variables is successively introduced, the aim being to determine which of these has the greatest influence on the probability of being dissatisfied with one's neighbourhood. Several variables …
Fat nation: Deciphering the distinctive geographies of obesity in England
Developing and Evaluating Small-Area Indicators of the Neighbourhood Social Environment
We describe a method of producing small-area estimates of characteristics of the neighbourhood social environment, such as participation in associational life. The method may be characterised as 'modelling nationally, and predicting locally' because the initial models are estimated using multilevel data derived from national datasets, calibrated to allow for within-region as well as between-region variation. These models produce coefficients whic…
