Is objectively measured exposure to built and natural environment associated with population-level cardiovascular disease mortality in Great Britain
Findings have clear policy implications, suggesting prioritisation of reductions in air pollution-particularly in deprived areas-while promoting walkability and tree cover to reduce health inequalities. Unexpected positive associations between 'goods' and mortality highlight that complex neighbourhood effects warrant further study
Inequalities in geographical distribution of heritage in Scotland, investigating spatial exposure to heritage sites through area-based and individual-based (GPS) measurement
Growing evidence suggests that visiting heritage, such as historic buildings, or landscapes, may enhance mental health. However, adults and children from deprived areas are less likely to visit heritage, perhaps partly due to unequal geographical availability. Few studies investigate socio-spatial inequity of heritage access nationally, and there is an absence of research exploring individual-based contact with heritage. We study both and ours is…
Inequalities in neighbourhood features within children's 20-minute neighbourhoods and variation in time spent locally, measured using GPS
There has been a growing interest in policies that encourage local living by promoting accessible and walkable communities, such as the 20-minute neighbourhood concept. Despite the widespread adoption of this policy in cities worldwide, little research has been conducted on the characteristics of children's 20-minute neighbourhoods and their association with time spent locally. This study aimed to explore the features of Scottish children's 20-mi…
Socioeconomic inequality in Scottish children’s exposure to and use of natural space and private gardens, measured by GPS
The objectives of this study were to: (i) determine, by distance from home, the proportion of time children spent in natural space (NS), private gardens (PG) and natural space/private garden (NS/PG); (ii) calculate availability of these environments surrounding homes, and (iii) explore variation in availability and use by socio-economic status (SES). Detailed mobility data for 10/11-year-old children (n = 667) were obtained. Children wore GPS dev…
Day-to-day intrapersonal variability in mobility patterns and association with perceived stress
Many aspects of our life are related to our mobility patterns and individuals can exhibit strong tendencies towards routine in their daily lives. Intrapersonal day-to-day variability in mobility patterns has been associated with mental health outcomes. The study aims were: (a) calculate intrapersonal day-to-day variability in mobility metrics for three cities; (b) explore interpersonal variability in mobility metrics by sex, season and city, and …
Inequalities in children’s exposure to alcohol outlets in Scotland
Children have little control over what they are exposed to, so policies that reduce inequities in alcohol availability should be prioritised to ensure that all children have the opportunity to lead healthy lives
Neighbourhood natural space and the narrowing of socioeconomic inequality in years of life lost
BACKGROUND: Natural space is associated with reduced risk of, and narrower socioeconomic inequalities in, diseases that affect older populations, and some contributors to premature mortality in younger individuals. Burden of disease measures such as years of life lost (YLL) are influenced by premature poor health and death. We hypothesised some association between natural space and both rates of and inequalities in YLL might be present. METHODS: …
Neighbourhood natural space and the narrowing of socioeconomic inequality in children's social, emotional, and behavioural wellbeing
The natural environment could be a lever to benefit those from less advantaged backgrounds, particularly the development of prosocial behaviours
Exposure to unhealthy product advertising
This study aimed to understand socio-spatial inequalities in the placement of unhealthy commodity advertisements at transportation stops within the Central Belt of Scotland and to measure advertisement exposure using children's individual-level mobility data. We found that children who resided within more deprived areas had greater contact with the transport network and also greater exposure to unhealthy food and drink product advertising, compar…
Simulating the density reduction and equity impact of potential tobacco retail control policies
Using spatial simulations, we show that all selected policies reduced provision of tobacco retailing to varying degrees. However, the most 'successful' at doing so also increased inequalities. Consequently, policy-makers should consider how the methods by which tobacco retail density is reduced, and success measured, align with policy aims
Socioeconomic inequalities in children’s exposure to tobacco retailing based on individual-level GPS data in Scotland
By accounting for individual mobility, we showed that children in socially disadvantaged areas accumulate higher levels of exposure to tobacco retailing than expected from disparities in home neighbourhood densities. Reducing tobacco outlet availability, particularly in areas frequently used by children, might be crucial to policies aimed at creating 'tobacco-free' generations
