Small area estimates of co-occurring health risk factors
Application of Decision-Analytic Models to Evaluate Integrated Care Interventions for Cardiometabolic Multimorbidity
Introduction: Integrated care is increasingly adopted to address the needs of patients with multimorbidity, but cost-effective configuration of integrated healthcare pathways remains unclear. This study reviewed decision analytic models (DAMs) used in economic evaluations of integrated care interventions for cardiometabolic multimorbidity. Methods: A systematic search of eight electronic databases was conducted to identify peer-reviewed articles …
Reducing tobacco supplier profits and pricing power
BACKGROUND: The tobacco industry generates substantial profits from products causing significant health and societal costs. These profits enable the industry to use pricing as a flexible marketing tool. Consequently, calls exist for a scheme to cap wholesale tobacco prices and offset this with higher taxation, reducing price variation and potentially raising revenue. This study models the health and economic impact of such a scheme in England. ME…
Access-related factors and e-cigarette use among 11–17-year-olds
The rapid increase in e-cigarette use among young people is a public health concern that has led to new policies being discussed. This systematic review aimed to synthesise evidence on how access-related factors influence e-cigarette use among 11–17-year-olds in Europe, framing these factors using five dimensions of access (availability, affordability, accommodation, accessibility, acceptability) to inform thinking about policy approaches in the …
Reducing the exceptional affordability of hand-rolling tobacco using tax escalators
Sustained duty increases on the least expensive tobacco products could deliver substantial public health gains and reduce health inequalities. Such measures should coincide with strong enforcement against illicit tobacco and comprehensive smoking cessation support
Stakeholders perspectives on the barriers and facilitators for implementing integrated primary care for cardiometabolic disease prevention and management in Kenya
Background: Integrated care is increasingly recognised as a key strategy for the management of multimorbidity. However, evidence on the factors associated with the implementation of integrated care models in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remains limited. We explored stakeholders' perceptions on existing challenges and recommendations for implementing integrated care at primary health care (PHC) level to tackle cardiometabolic multimorb…
Stakeholder perspectives on the barriers and facilitators to integrating cardiovascular disease and diabetes management at primary care in Kenya
Integrated care is increasingly recognised as a key strategy for the management of multimorbidity. However, evidence on the factors associated with the implementation of integrated care models in low- and middle-income countries remains limited. We explored how stakeholders perceived integrated care, existing challenges, and recommendations for integrating cardiovascular disease and diabetes management at primary health care (PHC) level in Kenya.…
Quantile regression of tobacco tax pass-through in the UK 2017–2021
Our evidence shows heterogeneous levels of tax pass-through by price, region and level of deprivation. The findings emphasise the importance of understanding the pricing strategies of the tobacco industry (TI) and how these vary across the UK to develop robust approaches to mitigate the pricing strategies of the TI
Purchase price of tobacco in small retailers in Great Britain
Differences in average price paid for tobacco between more and less deprived neighbourhoods reflect variations in numbers of purchases across price segments. Combined (FMC and RYO) tobacco prices per stick have fallen, reflecting increasing RYO sales. Innovative approaches are required to respond to the tobacco industry's price differentiation by both price segment and product type and the growing importance of lower price RYO products
Model-based appraisal of the potential effects of minimum pricing for tobacco in Scotland
A minimum price implemented alongside tobacco duty rises could reduce smoking rates and improve public health, especially for those living in deprived areas where smoking rates and related harms are highest
Estimation of integrated price elasticities for alcohol and tobacco in the United Kingdom using the living costs and food survey 2006–2017
Reintroducing face-to-face support alongside remote support to form a hybrid stop smoking service in England
The hybrid approach allows smoking cessation services to evaluate which groups benefit from remote, face-to-face, or mixed options and allocate resources accordingly. Providing choice, flexible provision, non-judgmental support, and clear information about available options could improve engagement and match support to individual needs, enhancing outcomes
Potential smoke-free dividend across local areas in England
This study has estimated that local economies could gain a substantial dividend if everybody stopped smoking, which is larger in lower income areas, meaning that geographical economic inequalities could be reduced
Geographical differences in the financial impacts of different forms of tobacco licence fees on small retailers in Scotland
The introduction of tobacco licence fees offers a potential opportunity for reducing the availability of tobacco retailers. The likely impact of a tobacco licence fee is sensitive to the type of licence scheme implemented, the level at which fees are set and the retailers' location in relation to neighbourhood deprivation and rurality
Mapping alcohol and tobacco tax policy interventions to inform health and economic impact analyses
Impact analyses should consider the combined effects of alcohol and tobacco tax policies on health and economic inequalities, and how the effects of changes to the tax on each commodity might trade-off
Conceptualising changes to tobacco and alcohol policy as affecting a single interlinked system
Model development should carefully consider the ways in which individuals and the tobacco and alcohol industries might modify the effects of policy change, and the extent to which this results in an unequal societal distribution of outcomes. Modelled evidence should then be interpreted in the light of the conceptual understanding of the system that the modelling necessarily simplifies in order to predict the outcomes of policy change
Quantile regression of tobacco tax pass-through in the UK 2013–2019. How have manufacturers passed through tax changes for different tobacco products
Following the repeated introduction of increases in specific tobacco tax as well as standardised packaging, we show that the tobacco industry applies techniques to keep the cheapest tobacco cheaper relative to the more expensive products when passing on tax increases to smokers
Are recent attempts to quit smoking associated with reduced drinking in England? A cross-sectional population survey
Smokers who report starting a quit attempt in the last week also report lower alcohol consumption, including less frequent binge drinking, and appear more likely to report currently attempting to reduce their alcohol consumption compared with smokers who do not report a quit attempt in the last week
Are interventions to promote healthy eating equally effective for all? Systematic review of socioeconomic inequalities in impact
Interventions categorised by a "6 Ps" framework show differential effects on healthy eating outcomes by SEP. "Upstream" interventions categorised as "Price" appeared to decrease inequalities, and "downstream" "Person" interventions, especially dietary counselling seemed to increase inequalities. However the vast majority of studies identified did not explore differential effects by SEP. Interventions aimed at improving population health should be…
Divergence in Age Patterns of Mortality Change Drives International Divergence in Lifespan Inequality
In the past six decades, lifespan inequality has varied greatly within and among countries even while life expectancy has continued to increase. How and why does mortality change generate this diversity? We derive a precise link between changes in age-specific mortality and lifespan inequality, measured as the variance of age at death. Key to this relationship is a young–old threshold age, below and above which mortality decline respectively decr…
