Estimation of the impacts of substance use on workplace productivity: A hybrid human capital and prevalence-based approach applied to Canada
A rapid evidence review of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of alcohol control policies: An English perspective
How a universal health system reduces inequalities: Lessons from England
BACKGROUND: Provision of universal coverage is essential for achieving equity in healthcare, but inequalities still exist in universal healthcare systems. Between 2004/2005 and 2011/2012, the National Health Service (NHS) in England, which has provided universal coverage since 1948, made sustained efforts to reduce health inequalities by strengthening primary care. We provide the first comprehensive assessment of trends in socioeconomic inequalit…
Does the home environment influence inequalities in unintentional injury in early childhood? Findings from the UK Millennium Cohort Study
BACKGROUND: Children from disadvantaged backgrounds are more likely to experience unintentional injuries and poor home environments. The aim of this study was to explore the home environment as a potential mediator between socioeconomic circumstances and unintentional injuries, in the UK Millennium Cohort Study (n=14 378). METHODS: RRs and 95% CIs for being injured in the home between age 9 months and 3 years were estimated according to four meas…
The dodo bird verdict and the elephant in the room: A service user-led investigation of crisis resolution and home treatment
Recent years have seen an international move towards home treatment of acute mental health difficulties. This has been based upon trial data which do little to develop understanding of how or why this approach is as effective as it seems to be. In order to explore this question the study interviewed patients who had recently used the services of a crisis resolution home treatment (CRHT) team in the English East Midlands. Triangulated parallel qua…
Does childcare influence socioeconomic inequalities in unintentional injury? Findings from the UK Millennium Cohort Study
BACKGROUND: In recent decades the proportion of infants and young children being cared for in childcare has increased. Little is known about the impact that non-parental care has on childhood unintentional injury and whether this varies by socioeconomic group. METHODS: Using data from a contemporary UK cohort of children at age 9 months (N = 18 114) and 3 years (N = 13 718), Poisson regression was used to explore the association between childcare…
Does childcare influence the risk of overweight and obesity in the early years? Findings from the UK millennium cohort study
To explore whether childcare type (parent, informal, formal) is associated with overweight in children, and whether this differs by socio-economic background. Nationally representative prospective cohort study. Children born in the UK in 2000–2002. 12 354 children with information on childcare between 9 months and 3 years, and height and weight data at age 3. Overweight (including obesity) at age 3 defined by the International Obesity Task Force …

Is Community-Based Treatment an Add-On or a Substitution for Hospital Treatment of Alcoholism: Some Evidence From Canada
OBJECTIVES: This study determined whether the development of community treatment of alcohol problems acted as an add-on or a substitution for the utilization of inpatient hospital services in Ontario. METHODS: Complex modelling and graphic analyses using econometric multiple regression techniques were performed on data for the 48 counties of Ontario (Canada) for the period 1972 to 1988, combining both cross-sectional and time series analysis. RES…
