Early family socioeconomic status and asthma-related outcomes in school-aged children
OBJECTIVE: To examine the associations between maternal education and household income during early childhood with asthma-related outcomes in children aged 9-12 years in the UK, the Netherlands, Sweden, Australia, the USA and Canada. METHODS: Data on 31 210 children were obtained from 7 prospective birth cohort studies across six countries. Asthma-related outcomes included ever asthma, wheezing/asthma attacks and medication control for asthma. Re…
Household income and maternal education in early childhood and activity-limiting chronic health conditions in late childhood
BACKGROUND: We examined absolute and relative relationships between household income and maternal education during early childhood (<5 years) with activity-limiting chronic health conditions (ALCHC) during later childhood in six longitudinal, prospective cohorts from high-income countries (UK, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Netherlands, USA). METHODS: Relative inequality (risk ratios, RR) and absolute inequality (Slope Index of Inequality) were estim…
A Sociological Framework to Reduce Aberrant Behaviour of School Students Through Increasing School Connectedness
A framework for understanding relationships between school connectedness and student aberrant behaviors is outlined that is synthesized from Merton’s insights into anomie and Bernstein’s theory of cultural transmission (which focuses on schools’ instructional methods and students’ internalization of schools’ values). A seven-category classification system identifies students’ risk of nonconformist behavior based upon students acceptance/rejection…
A new measure of unhealthy school environments and its implications for critical assessments of health promotion in schools
The theory of human functioning and school organisation informed by Basil Bernstein’s sociology of education suggests that to gain the commitment and promote the health of students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, schools require radical transformations eroding various ‘boundaries’: between and among staff and students; between students’ academic learning and broader social development and welfare; and between schools and their…
Where next with theory and research on how the school environment influences young people's substance use
Does school ethos explain the relationship between value-added education and teenage substance use? A cohort study
Previous studies found lower substance use in schools achieving better examination and truancy results than expected, given their pupil populations (high value-added schools). This study examines whether these findings are replicated in West Scotland and whether school ethos indicators focussing on pupils' perceptions of schooling (environment, involvement, engagement and teacher-pupil relations) mediate the associations. Teenagers from forty-one…
Mediated, moderated and direct effects of country of residence, age, and gender on the cognitive and social determinants of adolescent smoking in Spain and the UK
The ASE model may not capture important cultural factors related to adolescent smoking and the relative contribution of particular ASE determinants to adolescent smoking intentions may differ between countries. Future European trans-national adolescent smoking prevention programmes may benefit from greater understanding of country-level cultural norms
Low-income groups and behaviour change interventions
BACKGROUND: Interventions to change health-related behaviours have potential to increase health inequalities. METHODS: This review investigated the effectiveness of interventions targeting low-income groups to reduce smoking or increase physical activity and/or healthy eating. Of 9766 papers identified by the search strategy, 13 met the inclusion criteria. Intervention content was coded into component technique and theoretical basis, and examined…
School culture as an influencing factor on youth substance use
Objective: To determine whether value-added education is associated with lower risk of substance use among adolescents: early initiation of alcohol use (regular monthly alcohol consumption in grade 7), heavy alcohol use (>10 units per week) and regular illicit drug use. Design: Cross-sectional self-reported survey of alcohol and drug use. Analysis used two-level logistic modelling to relate schools providing value-added education with pupils’ sub…
A preliminary investigation into factors influencing limiting long-standing illness among UK university graduates
Two competing hypotheses underpinned an investigation into limiting long-standing illness (LLI) among UK graduates. Hypothesis 1 proposed childhood social class (CSC) influences LLI independently of educational attainment and adult income. Hypothesis 2 proposed typical middle-class graduates would have lower LLI prevalence than typical and atypical working-class and atypical middle-class graduates. Working/ middleclass refers to childhood circums…
