Dividends and Disconnects: Involving Public and Stakeholder Groups in the Development of a Modelling Study Exploring Income Policy and Health
Natural experiments for the evaluation of place-based public health interventions: A methodology scoping review
Introduction Place-based public health evaluations are increasingly making use of natural experiments. This scoping review aimed to provide an overview of the design and use of natural experiment evaluations (NEEs), and an assessment of the plausibility of the as-if randomization assumption. Methods A systematic search of three bibliographic databases (Pubmed, Web of Science and Ovid-Medline) was conducted in January 2020 to capture publications …
Exploring the health and sociodemographic characteristics of people seeking advice with claiming universal credit: A cross-sectional analysis of UK citizens advice data, 2017–2021
As the rollout for UC continues, it is important to understand how changes in eligibility for UC may impact on those who need help with applying for UC. Ensuring that the advice process and application process is responsive to a range of people with different needs can help to reduce the likelihood that the process of claiming UC will exacerbate health inequalities
The Impacts of Benefit Sanctions: A Scoping Review of the Quantitative Research Evidence
In recent decades, the use of conditionality backed by benefit sanctions for those claiming unemployment and related benefits has become widespread in the social security systems of high-income countries. Critics argue that sanctions may be ineffective in bringing people back to employment or indeed harmful in a range of ways. Existing reviews largely assess the labour market impacts of sanctions but our understanding of the wider impacts is more…
Bearing the burden of austerity: How do changing mortality rates in the UK compare between men and women
BACKGROUND: Mortality rates across the UK stopped improving in the early 2010s, largely attributable to UK Government's 'austerity' policies. Such policies are thought to disproportionately affect women in terms of greater financial impact and loss of services. The aim here was to investigate whether the mortality impact of austerity-in terms of when rates changed and the scale of excess deaths-has also been worse for women. METHODS: All-cause mo…
Housing and health inequalities: A synthesis of systematic reviews of interventions aimed at different pathways linking housing and health
Understanding the Psychosocial Impacts of Housing Type: Qualitative Evidence from a Housing and Regeneration Intervention
The association between poor housing and poor health is widely accepted, but there is a lack of evidence on the health impact of housing interventions. In particular, evidence on mechanisms linking housing interventions to health is lacking. Scotland's Housing and Regeneration Project (SHARP) evaluated the health impacts of new-build social housing using a quasi-experimental survey design. Qualitative interviews were also conducted with a sub-sam…
Tackling the wider social determinants of health and health inequalities: Evidence from systematic reviews
Intervention studies that address inequalities in health are a priority area for future public health research
