Psychophysiological responses to unpredictable threat
Although threat unpredictability plays an important role in determining emotional responses, little is known about what elements of unpredictability are responsible for these results. The current study examined the single and combined effects of two elements of unpredictable threat: (a) uncertainty about the timing of an aversive event (temporal unpredictability), and (b) uncertainty about whether an aversive event will occur at all (cue unpredic…
OP53 Explaining Scottish Coronary Heart Disease Mortality Trends between 2000 and 2010
Background Coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality rates have halved in recent decades. However, CHD remains the largest cause of death in Scotland generating persistent socioeconomic inequalities. A socioeconomic quantification of the prevention and treatment contributions to these mortality reductions might help inform future health policies. Methods IMPACTsec, a previously validated policy model, was used to apportion the Scottish CHD mortality…
Adiposity has differing associations with coronary heart disease incidence and mortality in the Scottish Health Survey Cohort
Background Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major contributor to mortality in the developed world. Investigations involving recent nationally representative surveys, including the Scottish Health Survey Cohort (SHeSC), have not demonstrated the expected strong U or J shaped association between adiposity and mortality. Given modern treatment and primary/secondary prevention strategies, we question whether adiposity has the same relationship with …
Socio-economic patterning of the trends in cardiovascular disease risk factors in Scotland
Background In Scotland, as in other countries, cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality has substantially declined over time. However, this decline may be slowing among younger groups and there are still large inequalities in mortality between socio-economic groups. Objectives To examine secular changes in the prevalence of known CVD risk factors in the Scottish population according to socio-economic position. Design Representative data on health a…
Associations between marital status and survival after a first acute myocardial infarction in Scotland, 1988–2004
Background There is evidence that marriage has a beneficial effect on health; unmarried experience higher mortality and incidence of mental and physical disorders. In particular, being unmarried is associated with elevated coronary heart disease mortality. Objectives Investigate the association between marital status and survival after a first acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and any trends and relationships with age, sex and deprivation. Design…
National Income and Income Inequality, Family Affluence and Life Satisfaction Among 13 year Old Boys and Girls
Adolescence is a critical period where many patterns of health and health behaviour are formed. The objective of this study was to investigate cross-national variation in the relationship between family affluence and adolescent life satisfaction, and the impact of national income and income inequality on this relationship. Data from the 2006 Health Behaviour in School-aged Children: WHO collaborative Study (N = 58,352 across 35 countries) were an…
Urban-rural differences in dental caries of 5-year old children in Scotland
Increasing socioeconomic inequalities in first acute myocardial infarction in Scotland, 1990–92 and 2000–02
Relative socioeconomic inequalities in AMI incidence have increased and gradients are steepest in young women. The geographical patterning of AMI incidence cannot be fully explained by socioeconomic deprivation. The reduction of inequalities in AMI incidence is key to reducing overall inequalities in mortality and must be a priority if Scotland is to achieve its health potential

Developing interests in child care outcome measurement
Over the last decade, the research interest of central government in services to children and families has covered various parts of the child care system, though the focus on evaluation of outcomes has remained constant. Major research programmes encompass the outcomes of: child protection interventions, residential care and the implementation of the Children Act 1989.
