Long-term exposure to air pollution and mortality in Scotland: A register-based individual-level longitudinal study https://calls.ac.uk/output-entry/2019_006/ https://calls.ac.uk/output-entry/2019_006/#comments Fri, 06 Oct 2023 12:08:30 +0000 CALLS https://calls.ac.uk/output-entry/2019_006/

Long-term exposure to air pollution and mortality in Scotland: A register-based individual-level longitudinal study

Abed Al Ahad, M., Demsar, U., Sullivan, F., & Kulu, H. (2023) Environmental Research 238, Part 2. Science Direct, Elsevier 2 October 2023. ISSN: 0013-9351 [SLS]

Other information: Air pollution is associated with several adverse health outcomes. However, heterogeneity in the size of effect estimates between cohort studies for long-term exposures exist and pollutants like SO2 and mental/behavioural health outcomes are little studied. This study examines the association between long-term exposure to multiple ambient air pollutants and all-cause and cause-specific mortality from both physical and mental illnesses. Methods We used individual-level administrative data from the Scottish-Longitudinal-Study (SLS) on 202,237 individuals aged 17 and older, followed between 2002 and 2017. The SLS dataset was linked to annual concentrations of NO2, SO2, and particulate-matter (PM10, PM2.5) pollution at 1 km2 spatial resolution using the individuals’ residential postcode. We applied survival analysis to assess the association between air pollution and all-cause, cardiovascular, respiratory, cancer, mental/behavioural disorders/suicides, and other-causes mortality. Results Higher all-cause mortality was associated with increasing concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and SO2 pollutants. NO2, PM10, and PM2.5 were also associated with cardiovascular, respiratory, cancer and other-causes mortality. For example, the mortality hazard from respiratory diseases was 1.062 (95%CI = 1.028–1.096), 1.025 (95%CI = 1.005–1.045), and 1.013 (95%CI = 1.007–1.020) per 1 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5, PM10 and NO2 pollutants, respectively. In contrast, mortality from mental and behavioural disorders was associated with 1 μg/m3 higher exposure to SO2 pollutant (HR = 1.042; 95%CI = 1.015–1.069). Conclusion This study revealed an association between long-term (16-years) exposure to ambient air pollution and all-cause and cause-specific mortality. The results suggest that policies and interventions to enhance air quality would reduce the mortality hazard from cardio-respiratory, cancer, and mental/behavioural disorders in the long-term.

Geocoding 1939 address data for the SLSBC1936

Huang, Z. (2023) 18 August 2023. [SLS]

Other information: The Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) birth cohort of 1936 (SLSBC1936) links data between the Scottish Mental Survey of 1947 (SMS1947), the 1939 Register, the National Health Service Central Register (NHSCR) and the SLS. The data collected for this cohort and the quality of data linkage are described in the SLS Working Paper 7 (Huang, et al 2017). As part of the data linkage exercise some key information in the 1939 Register such as the residential addresses of the cohort members were manually transcribed. This paper describes the process of geocoding 1939 addresses in the SLSBC1936. We present the method of linking 1939 addresses to the geocoded 1939 datasets. The output of this exercise is a dataset containing the grid references of 1939 addresses for 97.3% of the SLSBC1936 members who were found in the 1939 Register. These grid references of residential location provide a new opportunity for linking to local area characteristics for research on contextual impacts on socioeconomic chances and health over the life course.

Childhood socio-economic circumstances, cognitive function and education and later-life economic activity: linking the Scottish Mental Survey 1947 to administrative data

Iveson, M., Dibben, D., Deary, I.J. (2020) Longitudinal and Life Course Studies 11 (1), pp. 55-79(25) Bristol University Press 1 January 2020. [SLS]

Other information: Abstract: As the population ages, older adults are expected to work for longer into the life course. However, older adults experience particular problems staying economically active, even prior to reaching statutory retirement. Recent work has suggested that economic activity in midlife can be predicted by the far-reaching effects of early life, such as childhood socio-economic circumstances, cognitive ability and education. The present study investigates whether these same early-life factors predict the odds of being economically active much later in life, from age 55 to age 75. We capitalise on data linkage conducted between a subsample of the Scottish Mental Survey 1947 cohort and the Scottish Longitudinal Study, which includes three waves of national census data (1991, 2001 and 2011). The structural association between early-life factors and later-life economic activity was assessed using latent growth curve analyses conducted for males and females separately. In both males and females, the odds of being economically active decreased non-linearly across the 20-year follow-up period. For males, greater odds of being economically active at age 55 were predicted by higher childhood cognitive ability and higher educational attainment. For females, greater odds of being economically active at age 55 were predicted by higher childhood socio-economic status and higher childhood cognitive ability. In contrast, early-life factors did not predict the odds of becoming inactive over the 20-year follow-up period. We suggest that early-life advantage may contribute to the capacity for work in later life, but that it does not necessarily protect from subsequent decline in this capacity.

Research Summary

This study examines how local crime is associated with newly prescribed psychotropic medications in a large longitudinal sample of Scottish adults. It explores how area-level socioeconomic disadvantage changes this relationship and tests whether different types of psychiatric conditions were more sensitive to varying crime levels.

Data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study, a 5.3% sample of the population, were linked with police-recorded crime in 2011 for residential locality and with psychotropic medications from 2009 to 2014, extracted from the prescription data set of National Health Service Scotland. After excluding individuals with ongoing medication, new (or restarting) prescriptions for 3 main types of psychotropic drugs: antidepressants, antipsychotics and anxiolytics were linked to the SLS members in the study (129, 945 adults) and the sample was followed for 5.5 years.

In the main analyses, 3 models were presented for the 3 medication groups with crime as the main predictor of interest. Model 1 controlled for sex and age; Model 2: individual covariates (ethnicity, social status etc); and Model 3: area level income deprivation.

Other information: INTRODUCTION: Although neighborhood crime has been associated with mental health problems, longitudinal research utilizing objective measures of small-area crime and mental health service use is lacking. This study examines how local crime is associated with newly prescribed psychotropic medications in a large longitudinal sample of Scottish adults and explores whether the relationships vary between sociodemographic groups. METHODS: Data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study, a 5.3% representative sample of the population, were linked with police-recorded crime in 2011 for residential locality and with psychotropic medications from 2009 to 2014, extracted from the prescription data set of National Health Service Scotland. Individuals receiving medication during the first 6 months of observation were excluded; the remaining sample was followed for 5.5 years. Covariate-adjusted, multilevel mixed-effects logistic models estimated associations between area crime and prescriptions for antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anxiolytics (analyzed in 2018–2019). RESULTS: After adjustment for individual and neighborhood covariates, findings on 129,945 adults indicated elevated risk of antidepressant (OR=1.05, 95% CI=1.00, 1.10) and antipsychotic (OR=1.20, 95% CI=1.03, 1.39), but not anxiolytic (OR=0.99, 95% CI=0.93, 1.05) medication in high-crime areas. Crime showed stronger positive association with antidepressants among individuals (especially women) aged 24–53 years in 2009 and with antipsychotics among men aged 44–53 years in 2009. Skilled workers and people from lower nonmanual occupations had increased risk of medications in high-crime areas. CONCLUSIONS: Local crime is an important predictor of mental health, independent of individual and other contextual risk factors. Place-based crime prevention and targeting vulnerable groups may have benefits for population mental health.

Abstract

Socio‐economic inequalities in amenable mortality rates are increasing across Europe, which is an affront to universal healthcare systems where the numbers of, and inequalities in, amenable deaths should be minimal and declining over time. However, the fundamental causes theory proposes that inequalities in health will be largest across preventable causes, where unequally distributed resources can be used to gain an advantage. Information on individual‐level inequalities that may better reflect the fundamental causes remains limited. We used the Scottish Longitudinal Study, with follow‐up to 2010 to examine trends in amenable mortality by a range of socio‐economic position measures. Large inequalities were found for all measures of socio‐economic position and were lowest for educational attainment, higher for social class and highest for social connection. To reduce inequalities, amenable mortality needs to be interpreted both as an indicator of healthcare quality and as a reflection of the unequal distribution of socio‐economic resources.

ABSTRACT

The qualifications that British children gain at school are strong determinants of their futures in both education and the labour market. Studies of the relationship between parental social class and children’s outcomes in school qualifications report the general finding that pupils from families in less advantaged social classes on average have poorer outcomes. This paper investigates social class inequalities in Scottish school qualifications. Scottish data provide an interesting case study because Scotland has its own set of school qualifications and has a widespread system of comprehensive secondary schools that do not select children through academic testing. This paper is innovative because it analyses new linked administrative data on individual pupils from the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) with parental information from the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS). Standard Grades were the main qualifications undertaken by Scottish pupils at the end of compulsory schooling. We present multivariate analysis of pupils’ overall school Standard Grade scores. We find an overall negative relationship between parental social class and children’s outcomes in Scottish school qualifications. Pupils from families in less advantaged social classes, on average, have lower overall Standard Grade scores. A more nuanced finding that emerges from the analyses is that there is a cleft between the Standard Grade scores of children from families in the white and the blue collar classes. We conjecture that the complexity of parents jobs, especially in the more advantaged social classes, fosters forms of family and home life that are conducive to children having more favourable outcomes in school qualifications. Standard Grades have been replaced by the ‘National’ qualifications framework. Changes in the structure and content of the curriculum and assessment could affect the pattern of parental social class inequalities. Further detailed empirical analyses of social class inequalities in outcomes in Scottish school qualifications is therefore imperative.

Aims

Evidence from longitudinal studies on the influence of area deprivation in cardiac mortality is limited. We aimed to examine the impact of area deprivation on cardiac mortality in a large representative Scottish population. We also examined differences between women and men.

Methods and results

Retrospective analysis was performed by using linked data from Scottish Longitudinal Study from 1991 to 2010. The main exposure variable was socioeconomic status using the Carstairs deprivation scores, a composite score of area-level factors. Cox proportional-hazards models were constructed to evaluate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for cardiac mortality and all-cause mortality associated with area-based deprivation. Subgroup analyses were stratified by sex. In a representative population of 217 965 UK adults, a total of 58 770 deaths occurred over a median of 10 years of follow-up period. The risk of cardiac mortality and all-cause mortality showed a consistent graded increased across the deprived groups. Compared to the least deprived group, the adjusted HR of cardiac mortality in the most deprived group was 1.27 (1.15–1.39, P < 0.000). There was strong evidence that women from more deprived areas had significantly higher cardiac death risk than those from the least deprived areas (HR 1.42, 95% CI 1.22–1.65), while this observation was not strong in men with same background.

Conclusion

Our study demonstrated area deprivation was the strong predictor of long-term cardiac mortality and all-cause mortality. The inequalities were substantially greater in women from more deprived areas than men from the same background.

Abstract

Background This study contributes robust evidence on the association between mental health and local crime rates by showing how changing exposure to small area-level crime relates to self-reported and administrative data on mental health.

Methods The study sample comprised 112 251 adults aged 16–60 years, drawn from the Scottish Longitudinal Study, a 5.3% representative sample of Scottish population followed across censuses. Outcomes were individual mental health indicators: self-reported mental illness from the 2011 Census and linked administrative data on antidepressants and antipsychotics prescribed through primary care providers in the National Health Service in 2010/2012. Crime rates at data zone level (500–1000 persons) were matched to the participants’ main place of residence, as defined by general practitioner patient registration duration during 2004/2006, 2007/2009 and 2010/12. Average neighbourhood crime exposure and change in area crime were computed. Covariate-adjusted logistic regressions were conducted, stratified by moving status.

Results In addition to average crime exposure during follow-up, recent increases in crime (2007/2009–2010/2012) were associated with a higher risk of self-reported mental illness, among ‘stayers’ aged 16–30 years (OR=1.11; 95% CI 1.00 to 1.22), and among ‘movers’ aged 31–45 years (OR=1.07; 95% CI 1.01 to 1.13). Prescribed medications reinforced these findings; worsening crime rates were linked with antidepressant prescriptions among young stayers (OR=1.09; 95% CI 1.04 to 1.14) and with antipsychotic prescriptions among younger middle-aged movers (OR=1.11; 95% CI 1.01 to 1.23).

Conclusion Changing neighbourhood crime exposure is related to individual mental health, but associations differ by psychiatric conditions, age and moving status. Crime reduction and prevention, especially in communities with rising crime rates, may benefit public mental health.

Does ethnic diversity explain intra-UK variation in mortality? A longitudinal cohort study

Schofield, L., Walsh, D., Feng, Z., Buchanan, D., Dibben, C., Fischbacher, C., McCartney, G., Munoz-Arroyo, R., White, B (2019) BMJ 30 March 2019. [SLS]

Other information: Abstract Objectives It has been proposed that part of the explanation for higher mortality in Scotland compared with England and Wales, and Glasgow compared with other UK cities, relates to greater ethnic diversity in England and Wales. We sought to assess the extent to which this excess was attenuated by adjusting for ethnicity. We additionally explored the role of country of birth in any observed differences. Setting Scotland and England and Wales; Glasgow and Manchester. Participants We used the Scottish Longitudinal Study and the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study of England and Wales (2001–2010). Participants (362 491 in total) were aged 35–74 years at baseline. Primary outcome measures Risk of all-cause mortality between 35 and 74 years old in Scotland and England and Wales, and in Glasgow and Manchester, adjusting for age, gender, socioeconomic position (SEP), ethnicity and country of birth. Results 18% of the Manchester sample was non-White compared with 3% in Glasgow (England and Wales: 10.4%; Scotland: 1.2%). The mortality incidence rate ratio was 1.33 (95% CI 1.13 to 1.56) in Glasgow compared with Manchester. This reduced to 1.25 (1.07 to 1.47) adjusting for SEP, and to 1.20 (1.02 to 1.42) adjusting for ethnicity and country of birth. For Scotland versus England and Wales, the corresponding figures were 18% higher mortality, reducing to 10%, and then 7%. Non-Whites born outside the UK had lower mortality. In the Scottish samples only, non-Whites born in the UK had significantly higher mortality than Whites born in the UK. Conclusions The research supports the hypothesis that ethnic diversity and migration from outside UK play a role in explaining Scottish excess mortality. In Glasgow especially, however, a large excess remains: thus, previously articulated policy implications (addressing poverty, vulnerability and inequality) still apply.

Educational engagement, expectation and attainment of children with disabilities

Cox, F & Marshall, A.D. (2019) BERA 11 September 2019. [SLS][CALLS]

Other information: Government statistics show that children with special educational needs and disabilities do not achieve as well academically as their peers, which impacts on later employment and socioeconomic circumstances. Addressing these inequalities is a key policy area which currently lacks a satisfactory evidence base. To explore the issue, the present study used data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study which contains data from the 1991, 2001 and 2011 censuses along with other administrative data, from a representative sample of the Scottish population. Using this large and longitudinal sample, the present study examines educational engagement, expectations and attainment for children with self‐reported disability, controlling for other early childhood factors. The results show that children with mental health problems were at higher risk of leaving school early, and that children with learning difficulties were less likely to gain advanced qualifications. Neither limiting long‐term illness in early childhood nor disability in adolescence were significant predictors of engagement, however, they did predict measures of academic expectation and attainment. Results suggest there is a critical phase for attainment, with area deprivation in early childhood but not adolescence being important for later educational inequalities.

The aim of this study was to explore the longitudinal associations between neighbourhood level crime and mental health. We draw data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study, a census-based nationally representative 5.3% sample of the Scottish population. Anonymized data for over 150,000 community dwelling individuals were included, who were older than 16 at the 2001 census. The primary outcomes were prescriptions for antidepressant, anxiolytics and antipsychotic medications derived from the Prescription Information System (NHS Scotland) between 2009 and 2015. Based on the participant’s place of residence in 2011, individual data were linked with data zone level (populations of ~500-1000 per zone) information on police reported crime and income deprivation, both ranked into three equal groups (low, middle and high). Cox proportional hazards models were applied to estimate the effect of local crime on the risk of new cases of prescription for mental health problems. Preliminarily findings indicated elevated risk of prescription in areas with higher crime rates, even after adjustment for individual and neighbourhood level factors. Further analysis will explore the interactions between crime and income deprivation, by taking into account different age groups (young, middle and late adulthood). Neighbourhood environment is potentially modifiable; neighbourhood-based intervention, especially those reducing crime and violence in residential areas might contribute to better mental health of people living in those areas.

Inequalities in school leavers’ labour market outcomes: do school subject choices matter? Evidence from the Scottish Longitudinal Study

Abstract:

This study examines gender and social inequalities in school leavers’ labour market outcomes and whether the curriculum studied at school explains these inequalities in Scotland. Previous research has shown that people from more advantaged social backgrounds tend to study a larger number of academic subjects than people from less advantaged social backgrounds and this gives them an advantage when applying to enter higher education. However, there is limited evidence on whether curriculum choices may lead to differentiated labour market outcomes among young people from different social origins who do not continue to higher education. This research aims to fill this gap by examining differences in employment chances of young people who left education early, either at the end of compulsory schooling or at the end of secondary school. Using data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study, a large-scale linkage study created using data from administrative and statistical sources, we found little gender differences but strong parental background differences in school leavers’ employment status and type of occupation entered. Social inequalities in labour market outcomes were only partly explained by curriculum choices. Moreover, after taking into account social origin and grades, only History and Business for lower-secondary leavers and Maths for upper- secondary leavers were associated with a reduction in the chances of being unemployed/inactive.

Inequalities in mortality amenable to healthcare intervention in Scotland

Yates, MA (2018) 18 October 2018. [SLS][CALLS]

Other information: Mortality amenable to health care intervention are premature deaths which, theoretically, should not occur in the presence of timely and effective health care. As Scotland has a universal health care system, where health care is freely provided at the point of access to all residents, there should be no socioeconomic inequalities in rates of amenable mortality (AM). However, gradients in rates of AM have been found in many countries, using various measures of socioeconomic position. The routine monitoring of rates of AM, and subgroups of amenable conditions, will contribute towards an indicator of health care performance. Records of all deaths occurring between 1980 and 2013, records of hospitalisations for amenable conditions, and mid-year population estimates were used to calculate rates of age standardised mortality and incident hospitalisations respectively. Absolute and relative inequalities in both rates for the total population were estimated using an area based measure of material deprivation, the Carstairs index. Individual level measurements of socioeconomic position, such as educational attainment, were used to measure inequalities in rates of deaths for a sample of the population, allowing for some comparison with European countries. Rates of AM in Scotland and England were compared in two natural experiments in the final two chapters, aiming to explore the direct and indirect effects of policy changes on health care systems abilities to effectively prevent amenable deaths. Rates of AM in Scotland have been found to be decreasing for both men and women. Mortality rates within two of the three subgroups of amenable conditions have also declined, with the third having too few deaths to comment on trends. The rates of incident hospitalisations of amenable conditions between 1996 and 2013 have remained relatively stable, suggesting that rates of AM may be reflecting improvements in the detection, treatment, and management of amenable conditions. Absolute and relative inequalities in mortality rates were largest when estimated using educational attainment, whilst occupational measures produced the smallest inequalities. The rate of decline in rates of AM slowed in Scotland, relative to England, following devolution, however the attempts to adequately control for differing levels of deprivation were unsuccessful. The final chapter saw step increase in rates of AM in England, compared to Scotland, following the publication of a White Paper for the Health and Social Care Act - however, this failed to reach statistical significance. This thesis concludes that the continued study of amenable mortality in Scotland is worthwhile, given that mortality rates continued to decline against stable rates of incident hospitalisations, and relative inequalities in mortality rates were found to be increasing, despite decreasing absolute inequalities. The monitoring of inequalities in rates of AM provides the potential for weaknesses in the provision and delivery of care to be identified and corrected.

Does ethnic diversity confer protective effects on population health? Intra-UK comparisons of ethnicity and mortality  

Schofield, L (2018) NHS Society for Social Medicine (SSM) conference 5 – 7 Sept 2018 [SLS][ONS LS]

Abstract:

The most likely underlying causes of the higher mortality in Scotland compared to England & Wales (E&W) and in Glasgow compared to Liverpool and Manchester have been identified recently as relating in large part to vulnerabilities created by adverse historical living conditions allied to detrimental political decision-making. However, it was also suggested that there is a protective effect in E&W and Manchester of greater ethnic diversity, given the latter’s association with lower-than-expected mortality among UK populations. We sought to assess the extent to which Scotland’s ‘excess’ mortality (i.e. beyond that explained by deprivation) was attenuated by adjusting for ethnic diversity.

Childhood cognitive function and later-life economic activity: Linking the Scottish Mental Survey 1947 to administrative data

Iveson, M., Deary, I.J. & Dibben, C. (2018) CALLS Hub conference, University of St Andrews, UK, 23 March 2018 [SLS]

Abstract:

As the population ages, older adults are expected to work later into their lives. However, older adults experience particular challenges in staying economically active, even before reaching statutory retirement. Recent work has suggested that early-life circumstances – such as childhood socioeconomic circumstances, childhood cognitive ability and education – can have long-lasting consequences for mid-life economic activity. In the present study, we investigate whether these same early-life factors contribute to the odds of being economically active much later in life, from ages 55 to 75. To do so, we capitalise on recent initiatives to link data between a subsample of the Scottish Mental Survey 1947 cohort and the Scottish Longitudinal Study, which includes 3 waves of national census data (1991, 2001 and 2011). Latent growth curve analyses were used to assess the direct and indirect associations between early-life factors and later-life economic activity, for males and females separately. Notably, the odds of being economically active decreased non-linearly across the 20-year follow-up period for both males and females. For males, higher odds of being economically active at age 55 were predicted by higher childhood cognitive ability and higher educational attainment. For females, higher odds of being economically active at age 55 were predicted by higher childhood socioeconomic status and higher childhood cognitive ability. In contrast, there was little evidence to support the contribution of early-life factors to the odds of becoming inactive over the 20-year follow- up period. We suggest that early-life advantage may contribute to the capacity for work in later-life, but that it does not necessarily protect from subsequent decline in this capacity.

The processes of poverty decentralisation: evidence from the Scottish Longitudinal Study 1991-2011

Livingston, M., Bailey, N. & van Gent, W. (2018) CALLS Hub conference, University of St Andrews, UK, 23 March 2018 [SLS]

Abstract:

There is growing evidence of a process of decentralisation of poverty across cities in many developed countries (Kavanagh et al 2016; Hunter 2014; Kneebone and Berube (2013); Cooke and Denton (2015); Randolph and Tice (2016); Hochstenbach and Musterd (2017)). The drivers for these changes lie in a combination of factors including economic and labour market restructuring, as well as consumption and demographic shifts. In the UK at least, housing policies and reductions in welfare expenditures related to housing also play a role (Lupton 2011).

Previous studies have quantified the extent of decentralisation and shown how the pace varies between cities. In addition, Minton and Bailey (2016) showed that, in the Scottish cities at least, the decentralisation of poverty occurs through a combination of reductions in the number of poorer households close to the city centres and simultaneous increases in the numbers not poor. This suggests not merely a dilution of inner city poverty but a process of displacement as typically accompanies gentrification. Being based on repeated cross-sectional data, however, that study cannot trace changes for individual households over time.

In this research we extend the analysis of the processes driving poverty decentralisation in Glasgow and Edinburgh from 1991 to 2011. Using linked census data from the Scottish Longitudinal Survey (5% population sample), we apply the methodology developed by Bailey (2012) and extended by Bailey et al (2016). This decomposes the changes in relative centralisation of poverty between the effects of a range of processes: population exchanges between each city and other areas through external migration; demographic processes of ageing and dying; processes internal to each city of social and residential mobility.

Are people healthier when they live closer to forests? A longitudinal study of Scotland

Thomson, J. (2018) CALLS Hub conference, University of St Andrews, UK, 23 March 2018 [SLS]

Other information:
Abstract:

International evidence demonstrates that visiting or viewing forests is linked to better health. Proposed mechanisms include the opportunities for physical activity, reduced stress and social interaction which forests can provide. Studies also suggest that forests may have a role in reducing health inequalities by weakening the links between low socioeconomic status and poor health. However, the evidence to date relies on cross-sectional analyses, which limits our understanding of potential causal effects. This study investigated associations between access to forests and general health through time. It was also assessed whether visiting forests explained the relationship. Lastly, differences by demographic and socioeconomic groups were examined. Measures of forest access in 1991, 2001 and 2011 and a synthetic estimate of forest use were linked to the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) which contains census data for a semi-random sample of the population (5.3%). The current study included adults aged 18+ years in 1991 who were present in the last 3 censuses (n=97,658). Statistical techniques included hybrid-effects models and a mediation analysis. Findings indicated that living closer to forests may be beneficial for health by enabling greater use of forests for recreation. However improvements in forest access did not improve health. Those interested in reducing health inequalities may consider improving forest access whilst addressing other barriers to visiting, particularly for low socioeconomic groups.

Neighbourhood Effects and Occupational Mobility in Scotland: limits to the ‘tenure-split’ approach

Williams, E. (2018) CALLS Hub conference, University of St Andrews, UK, 23 March 2018 [SLS]

Other information:
Abstract:

An extensive literature investigates the association between neighbourhood context and individual outcomes such as health, educational attainment and income. A central problem for observational studies in this neighbourhood effects literature is the issue of selection bias; whether correlations between neighbourhood characteristics and individual outcomes are explained by the impact of neighbourhood context on individuals, or by individuals with different characteristics selecting into distinct neighbourhoods. One approach to strengthening the causal claims of neighbourhood effects research is the ‘tenure-split’ natural experiment, which relies on the assertion that social housing allocations are random with respect to the neighbourhood. Three recent UK studies employ the ‘tenure-split’ approach, and utilise the results obtained to cast doubt on a wide range of neighbourhood effects studies. This study critiques the claims made relating to the random nature of social housing allocations in the UK and re-examines the results of the three UK studies. In addition, new analyses are presented that use the ‘tenure-split’ approach to investigate the association between neighbourhood deprivation and occupational mobility. The results obtained support the view that, in the UK at least, the ‘tenure-split’ approach is not a valid natural experiment and does not therefore help address the issue of selection bias.

Forests, health and inequalities in Scotland: a longitudinal approach

Noall, J (2018) PhD Thesis University of Edinburgh 12 December 2018. [SLS]

Other information: Abstract Increasing international evidence shows that forests may enhance mental and physical health by providing opportunities for relaxation, physical activity, social interaction and through reducing air pollution. Studies also suggest that forests may have a role in reducing socioeconomic health inequalities by weakening the links between poverty, deprivation and poor health. Knowledge surrounding the relationship between forests, health and inequalities is limited as no national studies have been carried out, and findings to date are based on cross-sectional data. This thesis addresses these research gaps by examining associations between forests, health and inequalities for the whole of Scotland over a 20-year period. Firstly,changes in the socio-spatial distribution of forests in Scotland between 1991, 2001 and 2011 were assessed. FollowingFollowing this, relationships between different long-term patterns of individuals’ forest access and subsequent health outcomes were examined. The influence of cumulative forest access throughout life and levels of forest access at particular life stages on later mental health were also studiedstudied. Lastly, ionsinvestigations into whether changes in forest access were associated with changes in general health were carried out. In order to understand whether forests might reduce socioeconomic health inequalities, each of the empirical analyses considered differences between sociodemographic groups. Measures of forest access in 1991, 2001 and 2011 were created in ArcGIS for all postcodes in Scotland and linked to a sample of individuals in the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS). The SLS contains linked census records collected in 1991, 2001 and 2011 for approximately 274,000 people (5.3% of the population). The study sample included those who had: complete data;; were present in all three censuses;; were aged 18+ in 1991;; and lived in private residences on the Scottish mainland (n=97,658). Administrative health records from 2011 to 2016,, including the prescribing of antidepressants and hospital admission data were linked to the sample members. A synthetic estimation of forest use based on SLS members’ characteristics and forest user information in the Scottish People and Nature Survey (SPANS) was also used to examine whether visiting forests explained the associations between forests and general health. Statistical techniques included Latent Class Growth Modelling (LCGM), hybrid effects models and tests for mediation. Over the study period, geographical access to forests improved throughout Scotland. However, there wasevidence that individuals with low socioeconomic status in 1991 were more likely to have worse long-term patterns of forest access than those with higher socioeconomic status. There was evidence that these worse trajectories of forest access had implications for later health; individuals with better forest access trajectories had reduced risk of having worse health at the end of the study period. Women with a greater accumulation of forest access were less likely to attend a mental health outpatient clinic or be prescribed antidepressants during 2011-2016. For men and those without qualifications who had improved forest access between time points, the risk of having a long-term illness reduced, compared to those whose forest access did not change. Findings also suggested that better forest access across the life course and at particular stages in adulthood may be linked to reduced inequalities in mental health between men and women and between those with higher and lower socioeconomic status. Forest use partially explained the association between forest access and general health but there was also evidence of a direct effect of forest access on mental health. The key contribution of this thesis was the linkage of spatial environmental data to census and administrative health records for individuals and the application of a longitudinal approach. The thesis also contributes to the international literature by providing new insights into the causal mechanisms though which forests may influence health across the life course and how these may vary between social groups. The research has provided important evidence for policy makers such as Forestry Commission Scotland, about the social value of forestry in Scotland (and potentially elsewhere) and the opportunities that maintaining and enhancing forest access could have for improving population-level mental health and reducing health inequalities. In particular, those designing interventions to encourage forest use among disadvantaged groups should consider how interventions could be targeted at those with low individual-level socioeconomic status as well as deprived areas. Future research should use life course approaches to better specify the ways in which forests may support health for those with specific mental illnesses,, and where possible consider the effect of forest access in childhood as well as adulthood on later life health outcomes.

Abstract:

Background: Mortality amenable to healthcare intervention constitutes premature deaths which should not occur in the presence of timely and effective healthcare. Socioeconomic gradients within rates of amenable mortality (AM) have been explored at the individual level in many European countries, finding increasing inequalities across various measures of socioeconomic position. Inequalities in rates of AM have previously been estimated at the area level in Scotland, but little is known about inequalities at the individual level.

Methods: Socioeconomic patterning of AM was explored across levels of educational attainment, two measures of occupational social class, and household composition for Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) members enumerated in the 1991 and 2001 Censuses, with follow-up to 2010. Absolute and relative inequalities within rates of amenable, non-amenable and all-cause mortality were explored using the slope and relative indices of inequality (SII and RII) respectively. The representativeness of the sample to the total population was evaluated by calculating inequalities using area deprivation indices.

Results: Between 1991 and 2010, 6,462 SLS members died of an amenable condition before the age of 75 (16% of all deaths). Despite an overall declining trend in mortality rates, large inequalities in the three mortality groups were found, with no consistent trends. Educational attainment produced the largest RII (Men: 3.4 95%CI (1.9 to 7.5) in 1991-94) and SII, whilst those based on occupational social class were smaller (NS-SEC Men: RII= 1.5 95%CI (1.0 to 2.2) in 1991-94).

Conclusions: Significant, although inconsistent, inequalities within rates of AM were found for all individual measures.

Abstract:

Previous research has demonstrated that Scots cancer survival is poor. This research uses individual level data provided by Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS), NHS and GIS-based travel-to-treatment center data to explore colorectal cancer survival in the Scottish context using survival analysis techniques. We found that although travel time to cancer hospital is not significant, household access to a vehicle is associated with better cancer survival than no household access to a vehicle. The association between “household access to a vehicle” and survival is robust to other correlates of sociodemographic cancer survival which display the expected associations with survival. The males showed poor cancer survival after adjusting for other covariates.

TENURE CHANGE IN SCOTLAND, a comparison between 1991-2001 and 2001-2011

Freeke, J. (2018) [SLS]

Other information:
Abstract:

This paper reports on an extension of an earlier study, which examined tenure change in Scotland between 1991, 2001 and 2006. The results of that study were published in May 2009. Since 2009, the results of the 2011 Census have become available and this allows an examination of tenure change up till 2011.

Since 2008, Scottish Councils have been required to undertake a Housing Needs and Demand Assessment (HNDA) for Development Plans and Local Housing Strategies. An important component of the HNDA is an assessment of future numbers of households, as well as of housing needs and requirements for affordable housing. This involves, amongst others, a projection of likely changes in the tenure distribution for future households.

In order to assess likely future change, it is important to understand recent change. This paper seeks to make a contribution to this by comparing tenure change in the years 2001-2011 with tenure change in the period 1991-2001. The initial research, reported on in the earlier paper, originated from work for the review of social rented housing demand in Glasgow in 2007. Results from this work showed that the pattern of population flows into/out of the various tenures had changed considerably since 2001.

The present paper reports on a comparison of tenure change for the two periods 1991-2001 and 2001- 2011, using population and household estimates from the National Records of Scotland (NRS) and the 1991, 2001 and 2011 Census Tables. The results are given of a further examination of tenure change in 2001-2011, using data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS).

Inequalities in school leavers’ labour market outcomes: do school subject choices matter?

Abstract:

Despite a wide international literature on the effect of vocational and general education on school-to-work transition, relatively little is known about the role of having studied specific subjects in explaining inequalities in young people’s labour market outcomes. This paper aims to fill this gap by examining differences in employment chances of young people who left education early, either at the end of compulsory schooling or at the end of secondary school. Using data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study, a large-scale linkage study created using data from administrative and statistical sources, we found little gender differences but strong parental background differences in school leavers’ employment status and type of occupation entered. Social inequalities in labour market outcomes were only partly explained by curriculum choices. Moreover, after controlling for social origin and grades, only history and business for lower-secondary leavers and maths for upper-secondary leavers were associated with a reduction in the chances of being unemployed/inactive.

Local Crime and psychological distress in Scotland: a multilevel record-linkage study

Baranyi, G., Pearce, J., Dibben, C., Curtis, S. (2018) 28 (suppl_4) 1 November 2018. [SLS]

Other information: Background: Although there is an increasing amount of research on the effect of residential neighbourhoods on mental health, the causal pathways through which place influences health are not well understood. The aim of this study is to investigate whether local crime is associated with psychological distress and how area deprivation influences this relationship. Methods: We draw data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study, a census- based nationally representative 5.3% sample of the Scottish population. We included anonymized data for over 150,000 individual adults in our analysis. The primary outcomes were self-reported mental health condition (2011 Census), as well as prescriptions for antidepressant and anxiolytics medications between 2009 and 2015 (NHS Scotland). Individual data were linked with data on levels of crime and Carstairs Deprivation Index for the person’s place of residence in 2011. Crime was ranked in quintiles for data zones (populations of 500-1000 per zone). Multilevel logistic regression models were applied to estimate the effect of local crime at data zone level. Results: Compared to the lowest crime neighbourhoods, increasing crime rates were strongly associated with all measures of psychological distress, even after controlling for individual characteristics in the model. When models were further adjusted for area level deprivation, the effect of crime decreased, but remained significant for reported mental health and antidepressant medication in the higher crime quintiles (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Local crime level in the neighbourhood is associated with self- reported mental illness and with prescriptions for common mental disorders. It may act as a ‘wider determinant’ of mental distress, independently of economic poverty and it may also

Abstract:

This research focuses on individual and place-based determinants of occupational mobility in Scotland over the period 2001–11. Its originality relates to the importance of workplace location, rather than residential locations, on occupational mobility, and in questioning the idea that spatial mobility accelerates occupational mobility. The findings also indicate that skill level and employment in ‘knowledge-intensive’ sectors are key determinants of career progression. Urban career escalator effects are found to be particularly evident for higher-skilled workers. The findings point to the importance of spatial sophistication and sectoral sensitivity in understandings of occupational mobility.

Do differences in religious affiliation explain high levels of excess mortality in the UK?

Abstract:

Background High levels of mortality not explained by differences in socioeconomic status (SES) have been observed for Scotland and its largest city, Glasgow, compared with elsewhere in the UK. Previous cross-sectional research highlighted potentially relevant differences in social capital, including religious social capital (the benefits of social participation in organised religion). The aim of this study was to use longitudinal data to assess whether religious affiliation (as measured in UK censuses) attenuated the high levels of Scottish excess mortality.

Methods The study used the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) and the ONS Longitudinal Study of England and Wales. Risk of all-cause mortality (2001–2010) was compared between residents aged 35 and 74 years of Scotland and England and Wales, and between Glasgow and Liverpool/Manchester, using Poisson regression. Models adjusted for age, gender, SES and religious affiliation. Similar country-based analyses were undertaken for suicide.

Results After adjustment for age, gender and SES, all-cause mortality was 9% higher in Scotland than in England and Wales, and 27% higher in Glasgow than in Liverpool or Manchester. Religious affiliation was notably lower across Scotland; but, its inclusion in the models did not attenuate the level of Scottish excess all-cause mortality, and only marginally lowered the differences in risk of suicide.

Conclusions Differences in religious affiliation do not explain the higher mortality rates in Scotland compared with the rest of the UK. However, it is possible that other aspects of religion such as religiosity or religious participation which were not assessed here may still be important.

You may have seen recent media coverage on the employment prospects of young people in Scotland from different social backgrounds.

What you might not have realised is that this piece of research – and many others – relies on the Scottish Longitudinal Study in which National Records of Scotland is a partner.

The Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) is a valuable social research dataset that is the result of a collaboration between National Records of Scotland and the Universities of Edinburgh and St. Andrews. It links data from National Records Scotland (NRS) (including Census from 1991, 2001 and 2011) and the National Health Service Information Services Division.

So what does the SLS do?...

Extract:

SCHOOL leavers from poorer families are significantly more likely to be unemployed regardless of which subjects they have studied, new research shows.

Seven out of 10 S4 school leavers whose parents were in long-term unemployment or inactive found themselves out of work, training or further education after up to four years later, the study found.

Meanwhile, half of S4 school leavers with parents in routine manual jobs were also unemployed or inactive after three or four years.

By contrast, less than a third of their peers with parents in a managerial or professional occupation were out of work.

Campaigners said the findings showed the need for a wider approach to tackling childhood poverty as well as practical assistance on places to study and access to the internet...

Socioeconomic disadvantage, fetal environment and child development: linked Scottish administrative records based study

Playford, C.J., Dibben, C. & Williamson, L. (2017) International Journal for Equity in Health, 16:203 [SLS]

Abstract:

Background
Cognitive development in childhood is negatively affected by socioeconomic disadvantage. This study examined whether differences in fetal environment might mediate the association between family socioeconomic position and child development.

Methods
Data were linked from the Scottish Longitudinal Study, maternity inpatient records and the Child Health Surveillance Programme – Pre School for 32,238 children. The outcome variables were based on health visitor assessment of gross motor, hearing and language, vision and fine motor, and social development. Socioeconomic position was measured using parental social class and highest qualification attained. Random-effects logistic regression models were estimated to account for multiple reviews and familial clustering. Mediation analysis was conducted using the Karlson-Holm-Breen method.

Results
Hearing and language, vision and fine motor, and social development were associated with lower parental social class and lower parental educational qualifications after adjustment for fetal environment. Fetal environment partially mediated the estimated effect of having parents without educational qualifications for hearing and language (β = 0·15; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0·07, 0·23), vision and fine motor (β = 0·19; CI = 0·10, 0·28) and social development (β = 0·14; CI = 0·03 to 0·25).

Conclusions
Socioeconomic position predicted hearing and language, vision and fine motor, and social development but not gross motor development. For children of parents without educational qualifications, fetal environment appears to contribute to a part of the socioeconomic gradient in child development abnormalities but post-natal environment appears to still explain the majority of the gradient and for other children most of it.

Abstract:

The proportion of 16-19 year olds who are not in education, employment or training (NEET) is a key measure which feeds into the Scottish Government’s ‘Opportunities for All’ policy. The research project sought to explore the phenomena of NEETs, and to understand both the causes and the consequences of being NEET. The Scottish Longitudinal Study was used, looking at individuals aged 16-19 years at each census point between 1991 and 2011. The results showed a ‘scarring effect’ of having been NEET in terms of health and socioeconomic outcomes. This effect persisted even for those NEET individuals who later engaged in employment and education. Various individual, family, education and area-level factors were found to predict becoming NEET. The findings have been used to inform various Scottish Government briefings, policies, measures and work with Local Authorities.

Exploring the ‘Scottish Excess’ with eDatashield and linkage of an adjusted Index of Multiple Deprivation

Abstract:

Background Scotland has worse health outcomes compared to England and Wales. Not all of this variation can be explained by deprivation and it may explain less now than in the past. However, much of this analysis has relied on outdated measures of deprivation. Directly comparing data from the constituent countries of the United Kingdom is also difficult due to differences in the way Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) are constructed in each country. This study addresses the methodological limitation of current research by linking routinely collected data from England/Wales and Scotland with an adjusted UK Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) to conduct joint analysis with an up to date and directly comparable measure of deprivation.

Methods An adjusted UK IMD has been developed using two comparably measured domains from the English and Scottish IMDs. This will be linked to individual level census data from both the ONS Longitudinal Study (ONS LS) and the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) to provide a consistent measure of area deprivation. Confidentiality and disclosure control prevent combined analysis of these longitudinal datasets. However, the eDatashield process enables pooled analysis by passing summary statistics between studies to ensure that the datasets are comparable and analysis is equivalent to working with individual level data.

Descriptive and correlational analyses will explore the presence and extent of health inequalities within and between Scottish, English and Welsh populations. If a 'Scottish excess' is discerned, logistic regression will be used to establish how much of this variation can be accounted for by deprivation, adjusting for individual and household socio-economic indicators.

Discussion Pooled analysis of individual level census data from England, Wales and Scotland linked to an adjusted UK IMD provides a novel approach to exploring inequalities across the UK. This paper sets out the study and shares preliminary findings.

Abstract:

Studies suggest that living near forests is linked to reduced stress, improved mood and enhanced quality of life. Evidence also suggests that having better access to forests may be particularly beneficial to those of low socioeconomic position. Therefore forests may have a role in reducing health inequalities. This study examined associations between forests and health in Scotland over a 20-year-period. In particular the project investigated whether changes in individual's access to forests were associated with changes in health status; and whether people who had lived near forests throughout life had better mental health in later life. The study also explored whether associations varied by social group. Data for all forests in Scotland were created. These were linked to the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) which provided data on 113,171 people living in Scotland for three time points: 1991, 2001 and 2011. Administrative records for the SLS members including the Prescribing Information system and Mental Health Inpatient and Outpatient data sets were also linked. Outcome measures included having a long term limiting illness, receiving hospital treatment for a mental health issue and being prescribed anti-depressant or anxiolytic medication. Preliminary findings showed that people living 250m-1km from a forest were significantly more likely to have a long term limiting illness compared to those living closest (<250m) to a forest. When stratified by area-level income deprivation, this relationship was only significant for those in the 2nd most deprived group. This initial findings from this study show that the health benefits associated with forests in Scotland are likely to be uneven across the population.

Abstract:

We report on our experiences of helping staff of the Scottish Longitudinal Study to create synthetic extracts that can be released to users. In particular, we focus on how the synthesis process can be tailored to produce synthetic extracts that will provide users with similar results to those that would be obtained from the original data. We make recommendations for synthesis methods and illustrate how the staff creating synthetic extracts can evaluate their utility at the time they are being produced. We discuss measures of utility for synthetic data and show that one tabular utility measure is exactly equivalent to a measure calculated from a propensity score. The methods are illustrated by using the R package synthpop to create synthetic versions of data from the 1901 Census of Scotland.

Summary:

This paper describes the creation of the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) birth Cohort of 1936 (SLSBC1936). It is structured around the existing SLS. We took the SLS birth date sample from the Scottish Mental Survey of 1947 (SMS1947, a cognitive ability test that included almost all Scottish children born in 1936) and linked it to the 1939 National Register, the National Health Service Central Register (NHSCR) and the SLS. The outcome of the project is a powerful life course dataset containing information from childhood to old age.

Creating a postcode history from medical sources for longitudinal analyses

Everington, D., Huang, Z. & Feng, Z. (2017) UK Administrative Data Research Network Annual Research Conference, Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh, UK, 1 - 2 June 2017 [SLS]

Abstract:

The Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) is a large-scale linkage study created using data from administrative and statistical sources. These include: census data from 1991 onwards; vital events data (births, deaths, marriages); NHS Central Register data (migration into or out of Scotland); and education data (Schools Census and SQA data).

There are many advantages to using these data: they are a large, representative sample of the Scottish population with a low attrition rate. The SLS includes a range of variables describing demographic, economic, health, education, cultural, housing, social and ecological data. Our sample is further linked to ISD health data including cancer registrations, hospital admissions etc. One of the main disadvantages of this study is that although the vital event, education and health data can be regularly updated, the Census variables are only known at the 10 year time points. Trying to determine cause and effect without full histories is clearly more difficult.

To address this, NHS Scotland have provided postcode data obtained from GP registrations and other health records since 2000. Although the data will not be provided to users in their fine geographical details, as far as we know, this is the first time that these data are available for longitudinal analyses on a small area scale. These data will be of particular interest to researchers wishing to study migration. They will also allow area effects such as deprivation and urban/rural classification to be looked at over time.

This presentation will describe the characteristics, difficulties and processing of these data. The data are validated by comparison to the enumeration postcodes in 2001 and 2011 which are highly accurate. Future analyses will investigate how the match rate varies by other characteristics such as age, gender, economic activity and geographical area.

Long term illness and reported mental health conditions during recession: exploring evidence from the Scottish Longitudinal Study

Abstract:

This paper reports on a project which is underway to explore how local labour market conditions relate to reported mental illness and self-reported mental health conditions. The project aims to contribute to a growing body of research which seeks to relate changes in local socio-economic conditions over the lifecourse of places with changes in health over the lifecourse of individuals. The Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) provides a valuable resource for work of this type, since it relates to a large (5.3%), representative sample of the Scottish population, and is especially interesting for the work reported here in that it includes 2011 census data on self-reported mental illness, as well as reported long term illness data that were also collected in other parts of the UK. This paper reports on part of the work which has classified local authorities according to trends in employment rates and hourly pay 2006-2011, as indicators of the economic impact of recession, and on how this is being linked to the SLS and analysed in relation to the reported health outcomes of interest. Analysis of growth trajectories of these economic indicators for local authorities in Scotland (derived from data published by NOMIS) demonstrates that the recession has tended to reinforce economic inequalities between some groups of local authorities and this project will examine whether there is evidence that this increasing inequality among places was significant for health inequalities.

A sibling study of whether maternal exposure to different types of natural space is related to birthweight

Richardson, E.A., Short, N.K., Mitchell, R. & Pearce, J. (2017) International Journal of Epidemiology (Advance), [SLS]

Other information:
Abstract:

Background
Birthweight is an important determinant of health across the life course. Maternal exposure to natural space has been linked to higher birthweight, but stronger evidence of a causal link is needed. We use a quasi-experimental sibling study design to investigate if change in the mother’s exposure to natural space between births was related to birthweight, in urban Scotland.

Methods
Amount (% area) of total natural space, total accessible (public) natural space, parks, woodlands and open water within 100 m of the mother’s postcode was calculated for eligible births (n = 40 194; 1991–2010) in the Scottish Longitudinal Study (a semi-random 5.3% sample of the Scottish population). Associations between natural space and birthweight were estimated, using ordinary least squares and fixed effects models.

Results
Birthweight was associated with the total amount of natural space around the mother’s home (+8.2 g for interquartile range increase), but was unrelated to specific types of natural space. This whole-sample relationship disappeared in the sibling analysis, indicating residual confounding. The sibling models showed effects for total natural space with births to women who already had children (+20.1 g), and to those with an intermediate level of education (+14.1 g).

Conclusions
The importance of total natural space for birthweight suggests that benefits can be experienced near to as well as within natural space. Ensuring expectant mothers have good access to high quality neighbourhood natural space has the potential to improve the infant’s start in life, and consequently their health trajectory over the life course.

Abstract:

There is a long-standing association between family socioeconomic position and educational outcomes. This study seeks to explore whether variation in low birthweight and child development by family background explain these differences. The relationship between socioeconomic position, birth outcomes and pre-school child development is complex and requires an interdisciplinary assessment. Using linked administrative data from Scotland, our findings suggest that birthweight and child development partially explain this variation but cannot entirely account for socioeconomic differences in educational outcomes.

Abstract:

Using specific research case studies I will give an overview as to how as researchers we can have a great research idea, grounded in the relevant literature, but there are problems translating it into a robust research design. Assuming that the area/question cannot be reliably researched using small but rich sample surveys I will present ways in which routine admin data can help, along with the additional challenges of creating the correct cohort to address the research question.

The examples are from the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) which links together routinely collected administrative data for a 5.3% representative sample of the Scottish population (about 270,000 people). It includes a wealth of information from the censuses (1991-2011), vital events registrations (ie births and deaths), and education data from 2007 onwards. The SLS with appropriate permissions can also be linked to health data such as cancer registry and hospital admission data from the NHS in Scotland. The size and scope of the SLS make it an unparalleled resource for analysing a range of socio-economic, demographic and health questions.

I will demonstrate how despite the large number of study members owing to the constraints on various admin data being available centrally for Scotland in systems (ie health data and education data) cohorts have to be carefully considered in order to research outcomes (events/results). Examples include: (1) life-course events for a cohort of SLS women born 1959-1965 followed up from 1991, (2) setting up 2 complex cohorts of SLS members and children of the SLS (COTS) born from 1991 onwards to investigate child development including social status information from family background, and (3) constructing relevant cohort samples to investigate those not in employment, education or training (NEET).

Forests, Health and Inequalities in Scotland: A Longitudinal Approach

Thomson, J., Pearce, J., Shortt, N. & Ward Thompson, C. (2017) Society for Longitudinal and Lifecourse Studies (SLLS) annual conference, University of Stirling, UK, 11 - 13 October 2017 [SLS]

Abstract:

Evidence suggests that forests provide opportunities for exercise, relaxation and enhanced quality of life. People who engage with forests by either visiting or having a view report better outcomes in general and mental health. Studies also suggest that the association between forests and health is stronger for those of lower socioeconomic position therefore forests may have a role in reducing health inequalities. The evidence supporting a positive relationship between forests and health has mainly been cross-sectional partly due to the lack of geocoded environmental data. This study addresses this research gap by investigating the influence of forests on health over a 20-year period for people living in Scotland.

The project investigates changes in the distribution of forests across deprived and affluent areas, whether people’s health improves when they live closer to forests and whether there is a cumulative protective effect of forests on mental health. Measures for all forests in Scotland, which distinguish between accessible and non-accessible forests, were created. These were linked to the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS), which provided data on 113,171 people living in Scotland for three time points: 1991, 2001 and 2011. Administrative records for the SLS members including the Prescribing Information System and Mental Health Inpatient and Outpatient data sets were also linked. Outcome measures included having a long term limiting illness and being prescribed anti-depressant or anxiolytic medication. Preliminary findings showed that between 2001 and 2011, forest cover increased only in the 25% least deprived areas of Scotland. Results also showed that people living 250m-1km from a forest were significantly more likely to have a long term limiting illness compared to those living closest (0-250m) to a forest. The early findings of this study suggest that the health benefits of forests in Scotland are likely to be unevenly distributed across the population.

Abstract:

Understanding migration behaviour is an essential part of understanding population change. Internal migration, although at least as important as international migration from academic and policy perspectives, has been less researched.

Recently the census based Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) has been extended to include postcode data from NHS Scotland. The SLS is a 5.3% sample of the Scottish population and is rich in attributes but the census is only repeated once every ten years. The data provided from NHS Scotland, however, covers very limited attributes but is rich timewise. NHS-data at postcode level is recently available through the SLS and this gives a unique and new opportunity to develop these data for longitudinal research.

The linkage of these data sources creates the potential to, for the first time, undertake an in-depth analysis of the mobility patterns of a sizeable cohort of individuals within Scotland, at detailed geographies and over a considerable period of time (2001-2011).

This paper will discuss the combination of health administrative data linked to the census based Scottish Longitudinal Study, which creates a new and unique way to study internal migration in Scotland. In our paper we evaluate the quality of this new data. By means of logistic regressions, we evaluated what movers and types of moves are under and over represented when combining these data sources. Finally, potential solutions to improve under/over representation in those groups are presented.

SCOTLAND'S preeminent historian has condemned as "flawed" a new report which claims the country's Catholics suffer from a higher risk of death and are more economically disadvantaged than Protestant counterparts.

Claiming “the sectarian beast is in its death throes" and was "the least of Scotland's modern social problems”, Professor Sir Tom Devine said the academic study reflected more about the effects of deindustrialisation in the central belt than religious discrimination.

Abstract:

Introduction
The escalator hypothesis suggests that regions which offer positive labour market opportunities may enhance the social mobility of those who move there. Individuals who relocate to escalator regions may do better than others because of the employment opportunities they are offered, or due to particular characteristics of these geographically-mobile individuals. We were interested in exploring the relationship between geographical and social mobility and the factors that may be important for upward mobility.

Methods
The 1947 Scottish Mental Survey (a 1936 birth cohort with age 11 cognitive ability test scores), linked with the Scottish Longitudinal Study, and census data, was used to investigate the inter-generational social and geographical mobility of this cohort, and how this relates to their cognitive ability and other factors. We examined how spatial mobility impacts on social mobility, particularly examining whether large metropolitan regions of Scotland, such as Edinburgh, may operate as escalator regions, and why this might be, using linear and logistic regression models.

Results
Higher childhood cognitive ability and achieved education level were significantly positively associated with upward mobility from childhood to age 55. Those who were geographically mobile, particularly those who moved both in and out of Edinburgh, had significantly higher cognitive ability compared to those who did not move. Movers to Edinburgh were more likely to be upwardly mobile than those who experienced any other geographical trajectory.

Discussion
Previous research on escalator regions has speculated as to whether it is the place itself or the attributes of those who move there that were important for upward mobility. As those who move to Edinburgh are more likely to be upwardly mobile than those of similar cognitive ability who move elsewhere this would suggest that Edinburgh acts as an escalator region, with improved job opportunities available for those who relocate.

The impact of spousal bereavement on hospitalisations: Evidence from the Scottish Longitudinal Study

Abstract:

This paper estimates the impact of spousal bereavement on hospital inpatient use for the surviving bereaved by following the experience of 94,272 married Scottish individuals from 1991 until 2009 using a difference-in-difference model. We also consider the sample selection issues related to differences in survival between the bereaved and non-bereaved using a simple Cox Proportional-Hazard model. Before conducting these estimations, propensity score approaches are used to re-weight the non-bereaved to generate a more random-like comparison sample for the bereaved.

We find that those bereaved who survive are both more likely to be admitted and to stay longer in hospital than a comparable non-bereaved cohort. Bereavement is estimated to induce on average an extra 0.24 (95% CI [0.15, 0.33]) hospital inpatient days per year. Similar to previous studies, we estimate the bereaved have a 19.2% (95% CI [12.5%, 26.3%]) higher mortality rate than the comparable non-bereaved cohort.

Household changes and diversity in housing consumption at older ages in Scotland

Fiori, F., Graham, E. & Feng, Z. (2017) Ageing & Society [SLS]

Other information:
Abstract:

This paper contributes to understanding housing adjustments in later life by investigating the role of four key lifecourse transitions experienced by older individuals and their households, namely changes in health, retirement, union transitions and adult children leaving the household. Using data from a representative sample of the Scottish population for the decade 2001–2011, the study examines who moves and, for movers, whether they adjust their housing size in response to changes in their personal and household circumstances. In particular, the study explores diversity in housing consumption at older ages by investigating whether the triggers of upsizing or downsizing differ across tenure groups. The majority of older adults in Scotland do not change their place of residence during the study decade. For the minority who do move, all four lifecourse transitions are significant triggers for residential relocation but there is considerable diversity across the two major tenure groups in the influence of household changes on their housing consumption adjustments. In both tenure groups, however, the presence of children in the household is associated with upsizing and is a significant impediment to downsizing. Given the relative rootedness of older parents with co-resident adult children and their propensity to upsize rather than downsize if they move, our findings raise concerns over the interdependencies between younger and older generations in the housing market.

Health consequences of young people not in employment, education or training: analysis of mortality risk in Scotland

Abstract:

Young people not in employment, education or training (NEET) are a serious policy concern in many European countries. The Europe 2020 flagship initiative Youth on the Move specifies a number of programmes that aim to reduce the number of NEET young people and re-engage them into education and labour market. Although young people not in employment, education or training have been identified as one of the most vulnerable groups since the 1990s, little is known about the long-term effect of NEET experiences, especially the health consequences.

This paper investigates whether being NEET is associated with a higher risk of death. We used the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS), which collates information from the 1991, 2001, and 2011 censuses as well as from vital events, for a 5.3% representative sample of the Scottish population. Linked health data such as hospital admissions are also available.

We followed around 10,000 young people who were aged 16-19 in 1991 up to 2010. We explored whether NEET young people in 1991 displayed a higher risk of mortality in the 20 years of the follow-up period. Both descriptive and modelling approaches were used in our analysis. Cox models were fitted to predict the risk of death for NEET young people compared to that of non-NEETs. Confounders included individual socioeconomic characteristics, health conditions and local area characteristics. Modelling results showed that being NEET in 1991 was associated with an elevated risk of mortality. The elevated risk remained even when the models were fitted separately by gender. Policy intervention is necessary in assisting NEET young people to re-engage in education or employment.

Extract:

There is some lingering anti-Catholic bigotry in Scotland, writes NSS vice president Alistair McBay, but the Church is playing victim while supporting a segregated education system which can only worsen prejudice.

"As one brought up a Catholic, I know only too well of Scottish Catholicism's lovingly nurtured persecution complex - part masochism, part self-justification for its own pet bigotries."

So wrote a cradle Catholic to the Daily Express in May 2011. I'm reminded of it every time I see a new report published on sectarianism in Scotland which almost inevitably concludes that Catholics are enduring victims of discrimination and prejudice, it's everybody's fault but theirs and something must be done.

Childhood cognitive function and later-life economic activity: Linking the Scottish Mental Survey 1947 to administrative data

Abstract:

As the population ages, and individuals are expected to work and function for longer, it is increasingly important to understand what contributes to economic activity in later life. Recent work has shown that mid-life unemployment risk can be predicted by early-life circumstances, particularly childhood socioeconomic status and childhood cognitive ability. However, very little work has been done to investigate the contribution of early-life factors to unemployment risk in the latter-part of the working life, in which the rates of long-term unemployment are particularly high. The proposed study investigates the association between early-life factors (childhood cognitive ability and socioeconomic status) and the risk of unemployment in later-life by linking historical data from the Scottish Mental Survey 1947 to Scottish Census data from 1991, 2001 and 2011. Around 1800 linked records will be taken from the Scottish Longitudinal Study. In addition to investigating cognitive and social factors, the risk of unemployment will also be investigated in terms of the type of occupation or industry to account for the physical demands of the workplace and the changing trends in industrial employment. Understanding the factors which contribute to economic activity around retirement age may aid the development of interventions designed to promote productivity and wellbeing in older-age.

Abstract:

The analysis of large administrative data sets can provide researchers with answers to many research and policy questions. Scotland has a wide range of such data available, in many cases with more detail than is available in similar data from other parts of the UK or in other countries. Initiatives to widen the access to these data are in place in Scotland including the Administrative Data Research Centre - Scotland (ADRC-S) and the Longitudinal Study Centre Scotland (LSCS), both led by the University of Edinburgh. Researchers who want to use data from these sources must submit an application justifying their use to panels who will balance the public benefit of their proposed project against its potential for disclosing confidential information. Once the project is approved the researchers will usually have to visit a secure location (safe haven) where the data will be made available to them under supervision. These procedures are necessary because it is widely understood that simply removing identifiers such as names and addresses does not prevent individuals from being identified. These procedures put constraints on researchers who want to use administrative data. It is difficult for them to acquire the experience and skills required to handle these large and often messy data sources. Also, the need to visit a safe haven can restrict users to certain geographic locations. A solution that helps to lessen these limitations is to make synthetic versions of administrative data available to researchers. Synthetic data maintain the analytical properties of the original data but contains no real individuals. They can be made available to researchers to develop exploratory analyses and de-bug code before they visit the secure setting. This means that safe haven visits are mainly used to run the final analyses on the real data. Another popular use of our synthetic data is to create realistic data sets to teach researchers methods for analysing large administrative data sets. The task of producing synthetic data that have the same properties as the original data, i.e. results from analysing them will be close to the original, is a challenging one. To facilitate it we have developed open-source software (synthpop package for R) which we are now using both to make data available to researchers using Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) and to create teaching data sets. This presentation will give an overview of synthetic data, highlight some of the difficulties and how we have overcome them. We will illustrate the use of synthpop to create a training data set based on an analysis of young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEETS)

Extract:

In this guide we introduce the UK census-based Longitudinal Studies (LSs) and highlight their potential for research on health and health inequalities. We provide practical guidelines on how to access the data, the health information and correlates of health that are available in each LS and we explain why the LSs are such an important resource for health researchers.

The core of the guide focuses on 4 case studies that highlight the latest research on health using the longitudinal studies across the UK. These case studies cover a diverse set of substantive research themes including the effect of migration on spatial health inequalities in the UK and the impact of childhood disability on educational outcomes.

Abstract:

This paper engages with Fielding’s (2012) classic three layers of structure as determining factors in inter-regional levels of migration. On the one hand mobility responds to changes in the business cycle. On the other it is also a product of longer term ‘deep’ economic and cultural structural processes, such as economic restructuring and changing social norms. This research investigates these issues using an innovative longitudinal approach. The recent incorporation of postcode data from NHS Scotland into the Scottish Longitudinal Study, a 5.3% sample of the Scottish Census, presents researchers with the opportunity to investigate the characteristics of both moves and movers over a significant time period (2001-2015). The analysis finds that, overall Scottish internal migration rates have decreased between 2001 and 2015, especially since the 2008 period of economic downturn. This speaks to Fielding’s (2012) ideas about how internal migration responds to recessions, and also relates to Cooke (2011) and Champion and Shuttleworth’s (2016) claims about a deeper cultural shift towards secular rootedness. Our data however, allows us to paint a more detailed picture, finding for example that places classified as cosmopolitan are losing population to more rural areas.

Patterns of mortality by occupation in the UK, 1991–2011: a comparative analysis of linked census and mortality records

Abstract:

Background
Detailed assessments of mortality by occupation are scarce. We aimed to assess mortality by occupation in the UK, differences in rates between England and Wales and Scotland, and changes over time in Scotland.

Methods
We analysed adults of working age (20–59 years) using linked census and death records. Main occupation was coded into more than 60 groups in the 2001 census, with mortality follow-up until Dec 31, 2011. Comparable occupation data were available for Scotland in 1991, allowing assessment of trends over time. We calculated age-standardised all-cause mortality rates (per 100 000 person-years), stratified by sex. We used Monte Carlo simulation to derive p values and 95% CIs for the difference in mortality over time and between England and Wales and Scotland.

Findings
During 4·51 million person-years of follow-up, mortality rates by occupation differed by more than three times between the lowest and highest observed rates in both men and women. Among men in England and Wales, health professionals had the lowest mortality (225 deaths per 100 000 person-years [95% CI 145–304]), with low rates also shown in managers and teachers. The highest mortality rates were in elementary construction (701 deaths per 100 000 person-years [95% CI 593–809]), and housekeeping and factory workers. Among women, teachers and business professionals had low mortality, and factory workers and garment trade workers had high rates. Mortality rates have generally fallen, but have stagnated or even increased among women in some occupations, such as cleaners (337 deaths per 100 000 person years [95% CI 292–382] in 1991, rising to 426 deaths per 100 000 person years in 2001 [371–481]). Findings from simulation models suggested that if mortality rates by occupation in England and Wales applied to Scotland, 631 fewer men (95% CI 285–979; a 9·7% decrease) and 273 fewer women (26–513; 6·7% decrease) of working age would die in Scotland every year. Excess deaths in Scotland were concentrated among lower skilled occupations (eg, female cleaners).

Interpretation
Mortality rates differ greatly by occupation. The excess mortality in Scotland is concentrated among low-skilled workers and, although mortality has improved in men and women in most occupational groups, some groups have experienced increased rates. Future research investigating the specific causes of death at the detailed occupational level will be valuable, particularly with a view to understanding the health implications of precarious employment and the need to improve working conditions in very specific occupational groups.

Inequalities in school leavers’ labour market outcomes:  do school subject choices matter?

Abstract:

Despite a large international literature on the effect of vocational and general education on school-to-work transition, relatively little is known about the role of having studied specific subjects in explaining inequalities in young people's labour market outcomes. This paper aims to fill this gap by examining the extent to which subject choices mediate social background and gender differences in early labour market integration of young people who left education early, either at the end of compulsory schooling or at the end of secondary school. We use data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study which is a large-scale linkage study created using data from administrative and statistical sources. These include: census data from 1991 onwards; vital events data (births, deaths, marriages); NHS Central Register data (gives information on migration into or out of Scotland); and education data (including Schools Census and SQA data). Our extract contains information about individuals' ascriptive characteristics (gender and family background) from 2001 Census data, their activity status from 2011 Census data, and their educational attainment (with detailed information about subjects studied and grades achieved). We analyse gender and social class differences in school leavers' employment status and type of occupation entered and the extent to which these differences can be explained by school subject choices (and attainment). The results show little gender differences but strong parental background differences in young people's labour market outcomes. Only a few subjects were associated with a reduction in the chances of being unemployed/inactive. Overall grades were found to be more important in explaining social background differences among lower-secondary leavers while curriculum more important in explaining the same differences among upper-secondary leavers.

Abstract:

The pursuit of job satisfaction and occupational mobility can be mired down by intertwining personal, societal and place based factors. In this study we reveal the contributory effects of these factors on occupational mobility in both Scotland and the UK as a whole. For analysis at the Scotland level, we use the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) which has been linked to the NHS Scotland postcode data dataset for the period 2001-2011 and for the UK as a whole, we use the British Household Panel Study (BHPS) and the UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS) between the years 1991 to 2014.

This study innovatively combines various datasets to generate rich (timewise) data sources. The combination of the SLS and NHS Scotland data present a unique opportunity to assess the effect of migration on occupational mobility over 10 years. The combination of the BHPS and UKHLS datasets (with complex survey weights added in) affords a unique opportunity to investigate occupational mobility over a wide timeline of 24 years.

Key findings point to different occupational trajectories for males and females and the importance of geography (such as output areas), partnership status and household type in occupational mobility. Findings also indicate that the odds of experiencing positive occupational mobility were decreased after 2008 (recession year). Overall, these results are pivotal to an in-depth understanding of occupational mobility in Britain and are therefore valuable to policymakers and social scientists.

Abstract:

The progression of workers along the occupational hierarchy across the course of their careers has long been a concern of policymakers and social scientists alike. Using the census-based Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) dataset, this research examines individual and place based determinants of occupational mobility, and their relationship to spatial mobility. The originality of the paper relates to the importance of workplace location, rather than residential locations, on occupational mobility, and in the questioning of the idea that spatial mobility accelerates occupational mobility. The findings also indicate that skill level and employment in ‘knowledge intensive’ sectors are key determinants of career progression. Urban career escalator effects are found to be particularly evident for higher skilled workers. The findings point to the importance of spatial sophistication and gender and sectoral sensitivity in understandings of occupational mobility.

A person's occupation can mean a three-old difference in mortality rates, with the unemployed faring worst, researchers have found.

A Glasgow University study found people who work in factories and in construction have higher death rates than doctors and teachers.

Housekeepers and cleaners were also identified as at risk groups.

The findings, published in The Lancet Public Health, examined UK mortality rates by occupation from 1991 to 2011.

The report, by the university's MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit, is the first study to rank mortality rates by occupation in the UK in 30 years...

Abstract:

Religion frequently indicates membership of socio-ethnic groups with distinct health behaviours and mortality risk. Determining the extent to which interactions between groups contribute to variation in mortality is often challenging. We compared socio-economic status (SES) and mortality rates of Protestants and Catholics in Scotland and Northern Ireland, regions in which interactions between groups are profoundly different. Crucially, strong equality legislation has been in place for much longer and Catholics form a larger minority in Northern Ireland. Drawing linked Census returns and mortality records of 404,703 people from the Scottish and Northern Ireland Longitudinal Studies, we used Poisson regression to compare religious groups, estimating mortality rates and incidence rate ratios. We fitted age-adjusted and fully adjusted (for education, housing tenure, car access and social class) models. Catholics had lower SES than Protestants in both countries; the differential was larger in Scotland for education, housing tenure and car access but not social class. In Scotland, Catholics had increased age-adjusted mortality risk relative to Protestants but variation among groups was attenuated following adjustment for SES. Those reporting no religious affiliation were at similar mortality risk to Protestants. In Northern Ireland, there was no mortality differential between Catholics and Protestants either before or after adjustment. Men reporting no religious affiliation were at increased mortality risk but this differential was not evident among women. In Scotland, Catholics remained at greater socio-economic disadvantage relative to Protestants than in Northern Ireland and were also at a mortality disadvantage. This may be due to a lack of explicit equality legislation that has decreased inequality by religion in Northern Ireland during recent decades.

Working Class Kids and School Qualifications: An Investigation of Scottish Education Using Longitudinal and Administrative Social Science Data

Abstract:

There has been a long running negative association between social class and outcomes in school examinations. Pupils from less advantaged social classes have generally had poorer performance. In this paper we investigate contemporary social class effects using data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study and newly available linked administrative data. The resounding finding is that working class pupils have less favourable outcomes in school qualifications. The effects of social class can be observed net of gender, parental education and household type. Parental education plays an important role in filial (i.e. their child’s) educational outcomes but there is no interaction with parental social class. A more subtle finding is that the outcomes of pupils with parents in lower supervisory and technical occupations share close similarities with children of parents from both semi-routine and routine occupations. This is important because sociologists have previously theorised parents in lower supervisory and technical occupations as a blue collar intermediate class, but in this analysis their children’s educational outcomes are more similar to pupils from the wage-earning working class. We observe some occupation-level differences within social classes. For example the children of teachers have good outcomes whereas children with parents in catering and hospitality occupations perform worse than counterparts in the same social class. This work is innovative because it analyses administrative records linked to an existing longitudinal dataset. The findings are important as they provide up-to-date evidence that can directly inform policy debates in the areas of education and social mobility.

Abstract:

Not in education, employment or training (NEET) is a contested concept in the literature. However, it is consistently used by policy-makers and shown in research to be associated with negative outcomes. In this paper we examine whether NEET status is associated with subsequent occupational scarring using the Scottish Longitudinal Study which provides a 5.3% sample of Scotland, based on the censuses of 1991, 2001 and 2011. We model occupational position, using CAMSIS, controlling for the influence of sex, limiting long-term illness, educational attainment and geographical deprivation. We find the NEET categorisation to be a strong marker of subsequent negative outcomes at the aggregate level. This appears to be redolent of a Matthew effect, whereby disadvantage accumulates to the already disadvantaged. Our results also show that negative NEET effects are variable when stratifying by educational attainment and are different for men and women. These findings confirm that there are negative effects on occupational position associated with prior NEET status but that outcomes are heterogeneous depending on levels of education and gender.

Abstract:

We describe results on the creation and use of synthetic data that were derived in the context of a project to make synthetic extracts available for users of the UK Longitudinal Studies. A critical review of existing methods of inference from large synthetic data sets is presented. We introduce new variance estimates for use with large samples of completely synthesised data that do not require them to be generated from the posterior predictive distribution derived from the observed data and can be used with a single synthetic data set. We make recommendations on how to synthesise data based on these findings. An example of synthesising data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study is included to illustrate our results.

‘Accidental bias’ mars HE equal access ambitions in Scotland

Extract:

A lack of information for parents about the subjects that universities prefer is leading to an ‘accidental cultural bias’ against poorer students, it is claimed. Sam Phipps reports

Secondary schools need to give clearer information about subject choices if more pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds are to go to university, according to a leading Scottish educationalist.

Too many young people miss out on higher education because schools and parents lack information about the qualifications favoured in admissions criteria, said Professor Cristina Iannelli of Edinburgh University’s School of Education.

The result is an “almost accidental cultural bias” that limits the life chances of those from poorer backgrounds and catchment areas...

Gender, Occupation and First Birth: Do ‘Career Men’ Delay First Birth Too?

Ralston, K., Gayle, V. & Lambert, P. (2016) Sociological Research Online, 21 (1), 3. 28 February 2016. [SLS]

Other information:
Abstract:

In the period following the turn of the Century European total fertility rates (TFR) dropped to well below replacement. Work examining this highlights that cohort postponement in births contributes to low TFRs. It is generally recognised that women in more advantaged occupations often postpone childbearing in contrast to those in less advantaged occupational groups. However, relatively little research has been conducted on men in similar terms. This paper contrasts the timing of first birth by occupational class between men and women using individual level data in a case study of Scotland. The data are an extract from the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS). This provides a 5.3% sample of the population of Scotland from the 1991 Census. The research applies the Cox proportional hazard model to estimate the speed to first birth during a period of observation between 1991 and 2006. Class is measured using NS-SEC 8 class analytic version. The model controls marital status, educational attainment, raised religion and urban-rural geography. It is found that 'career men' who occupy more advantaged occupational positions do not delay first birth in contrast to men in other occupational categories. This is in contrast to the well-known phenomenon of career women who have later childbearing. Our analysis shows that gender inequalities in how the social structure influences childbearing offer an avenue of explanation for wider patterns of social inequality.

Inequalities in mental health: geographical perspectives

Extract:

When discussing health inequalities, it is important to consider mental as well as physical health. Mental health issues affect a large proportion of the population in countries around the globe. For example, NHS Health Scotland reported that ~15% of the adult Scotland population who participated in the Scottish Health Survey reported common mental health problems in response to the General Health Questionnaire.

The pattern of mental disorders is socially uneven, and people in more disadvantaged groups tend to be more likely to suffer from problems with their mental health. The places where we live are important for mental health inequalities, as well as individual and family factors.

The Nurses’ Lives Research Programme: enabling practice through new insights to population health using routine data about nurses

Atherton, I. & Kyle, R. (2016) Centre for Population Change (CPC) seminar, Ladywell House, Edinburgh, UK, 25 February 2016 [SLS]

Other information:
Abstract:

Health care professionals have an increasingly important role at a population level. This role requires teaching that encourages and facilitates students to link their individual practice to population health. Making teaching accessible is challenging given what might seem quite abstract ideas in comparison to the immediacy of other interventions. The Nurses' Lives Research Programme at Edinburgh Napier University is endeavouring to make teaching on population health more accessible through research on nurses themselves. Findings are providing new insights into the social determinants of health. These provide a basis for practitioners to reflect on issues that relate not only to their patients, but also to themselves, potentially shattering patient-public divides, and increasing awareness of the complexities of nursing interventions. Two exemplar studies will be presented. One estimating the prevalence of overweight and obese nurses in Scotland, and another analysing evidence for a Glasgow Effect amongst nurses in Scotland. Implications of findings for teaching related to population health and for health care professionals are considered.

Living in stressful neighbourhoods during pregnancy: an observational study of crime rates and birth outcomes

Clemens, T. & Dibben, C. (2016) European Journal of Public Health, 27 (2), 197-202 [SLS]

Other information:
Abstract:

Background: Patterns of adverse birth outcomes vary spatially and there is evidence that this may relate to features of the physical environment such as air pollution. However, other social characteristics of the environment such as levels of crime are relatively understudied. This study examines the association between crime rates and birth weight and prematurity. Methods: Maternity inpatient data recorded at birth, including residential postcode, was linked to a representative 5% sample of Scottish Census data and small area crime rates from Scottish Police forces. Coefficients associated with crime were reported from crude and confounder adjusted models predicting low birth weight (< 2500 g), mean birthweight, small for gestational age and prematurity for all singleton live births. Results: Total crime rates were associated with strong and significant reductions in mean birth weight and increases in the risks of both a small for gestational age baby and premature birth. These effects, with the exception of prematurity, were robust to adjustment for individual characteristics including smoking, ethnicity and other socio-economic variables as well as area based confounders including air pollution. Mean birth weight was robust to additional adjustment for neighbourhood income deprivation. Conclusion: The level of crime in a mother’s area of residence, which may be a proxy for the degree of threat felt and therefore stress experienced, appears to be an important determinant of the risk of adverse birth outcomes.

Poster presentation

Abstract:

Background:
People with learning disabilities experience poorer physical and mental health than the general population. This study investigates whether living conditions and their changes over time are different for people with learning disabilities compared to the general population, and whether these are related to general health status.

Method:
Secondary data analysis using the Scottish Longitudinal Study, which links information obtained on 5% of the population at Scotland’s Census 2011 with their information at Census 2001 and Census 1991. Matched-control design (age, sex) with 4 matches per person with learning disabilities. Learning disabilities and general health status were identified from responses to the questions at Census 2011. The study recently commenced; this poster describes the aims and methods in more detail.

Results:
993 individuals had learning disabilities and a record in both Scotland’s Census 2011 and at least one of Census 2001 and Census 1991. 136 (13.7%) lived in communal establishments in 2011. 03/735 (14.0%) people with learning disabilities were living in communal establishments in 1991 and 114/923 (12.4%) in 2001. Further details will be presented on living circumstances, and its relationship to health.

Conclusion:
It is important to identify the factors that impact on health that might be improved. The 20 year longitudinal study design allows residential types and movement to be tracked and linked to health status.

Between the NEET and the tidy – Exploring ‘middle’ outcomes in Scottish school qualifications

Abstract:

Despite changes in the education system the qualifications that are gained at school remain important for young people’s pathways and trajectories. This paper is an element of a wider on-going programme of theoretically informed empirical analyses, which examine young people’s educational outcomes. The empirical work is situated within an overarching theoretical sociological framework which focuses on the outcomes of ‘ordinary’ young people who are neither educationally unengaged, nor part of an educational elite. In this phase of the work we focus on outcomes in Scottish school-level qualifications.

This research is original in that it uses administrative data from the Scottish Qualifications Authority that is held as part of the Scottish Longitudinal Study. We begin by reconsidering challenging issues associated with measuring school -level qualifications. To address these challenges we undertake analyses of pupil’s subject-area outcomes using a latent variable modelling approach. A novel aspect of the work is that we undertake a sensitivity analysis to compare a standard technique for latent group assignment (modal assignment) with a recently proposed alternative (proportional assignment).

The overall message is dispiriting because after half a century of comprehensive education in Scotland, school outcomes remain stratified both by gender and by a pupil’s social background. The analyses uncovered four main latent educational groups. One group had very positive outcomes and pupils in this group were generally more socially advantaged. By contrast another group had very poor outcomes and pupils in this group were generally more socially disadvantaged. There were two ‘middle’ groups, which both had moderate overall school Standard Grade outcomes. These two ‘middle’ groups were similar in their overall outcomes, but at the subject area-level their outcomes were notably different. One group were more likely to gain a Credit pass in English, but were relatively less likely to gain Credit passes in Mathematics and Sciences. The other group were unlikely to gain Credit passes in English and Mathematics, but were more likely to gain Credit passes in Sciences. These pupils with ‘middle’ or ‘moderate’ outcomes in school Standard Grades are a sociologically important group that should not be overlooked.

The latent variable approach offers an informative set of typologies that are likely to be impactful because they can be used to better understand patterns of educational outcomes. These typologies are important because they can directly inform current debates on raising standards in Scottish schools.

Extract:

One of several explanations of why Homo Sapiens is the only surviving sub-species of the genus Homo is the extended length of our childhood and adolescence. The value of this extended maturation and developing period may be that it allows us to learn and carry out complex tasks. Like Homo Sapiens, methodology for synthetic data has had a long learning period. The idea of using synthetic data for disclosure control was con- ceived more than 20 years ago [1–3], but it was a fur- ther 10 years before the first papers describing how to do it appeared in the literature [4,5]. The subsequent decade was one of rapid development and innovation when the methodology was tested and expanded. The energy and enthusiasm for synthetic data of Reiter and his colleagues was responsible for many major de- velopments; see the monograph by Drechsler [6] for a review. Towards the end of synthetic data’s second decade real applications began to appear [7–9]. Two of the four substantial papers that deal with synthetic data in this issue [10,11] are examples of mature methodol- ogy, while the other two [12,13] deal with disclosure control, the aspect of synthetic data that is at an early stage in its development. My comments here are from the point of view of a practitioner looking for useful and workable ideas in this field. Our project to pro- vide data for the UK Longitudinal Studies (LSs) is re- ferred to in Vilhuber et. al.’s overview of international developments [14]. More details of our methods and our synthpop package for R are available [15–17].

Growing Up and Growing Old in Scotland: housing transitions and changing living arrangements for young and older adults, 1991-2011

Graham, E., Fiori, F. & Feng, Z. (2016) SLS Impact Case Study 2. 3 December 2015. [SLS]

Other information: There have been recent declines in residential mobility among both young and older adults in Scotland. More young adults lived with their parents and fewer older adults moved house during the 2000s compared with the 1990s. Although higher education remained an advantage, parental background became a more important influence on the likelihood of becoming a homeowner during the 2000s. Among older adults, changes in household size due to widowhood, divorce or children leaving home were the main triggers for moving to a smaller house.

With young adults staying in the parental home for longer and the increasing residential immobility of older adults whose children are living with them, changing intergenerational interdependencies could have important implications for Scotland’s housing market.

The findings have been disseminated to both academic and non-academic audiences. A workshop was held in June 2015, with invited participants including representatives from NRS, ONS and the Scottish Government.

Summary

In this project we explore consequences and risk factors of young people not in education, employment or training (NEET) over the past two decades. The project uses the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) which links anonymised individual records from the 1991, 2001 and 2011 Censuses and a wide range of data from administrative sources. We find that being NEET is associated with adverse socioeconomic and health outcomes over the following 20-years.

Education and Social Stratification: The role of subject choices in secondary education on further education studies and labour market outcomes

Abstract:

Previous research by Iannelli et al (2016) found that subject choice in upper secondary school was a key factor in explaining social inequalities in participation in higher education. Using the Scottish Longitudinal Study and its linked SQA education data allowed the researchers to explore whether this effect begins earlier in secondary school. The analyses found strong social inequalities in subject choice at S3/S4, with children from lower socio- economic backgrounds significantly less likely to choose subjects key for entry to university. Subject choice at this early stage was the strongest predictor of subsequent choices at 5th and 6th year. The results indicate that children from poorer backgrounds begin making choices early on in their secondary school career which may prevent them from moving into higher education. The findings have generated considerably interest from both practice and policy, and fed into the recommendations of the Scottish Government’s Widening Access Commission.

Moving to move up? Disentangling the link between spatial and occupational mobility

Other information:
Abstract:

Despite being the focus of much research, the relationship between spatial and social mobility remains contested. The key question in these debates relates to the issue of how individual and place effects, and spatial mobility, interact to generate specific occupational outcomes and trajectories. Whilst conceptually intriguing, a longstanding challenge faced by scholars in this realm relates to the availability of data sources and methodological approaches that allow for the empirical definition and disentanglement of the various factors that 'produce' occupational mobility. The approach taken in this analysis explores these relationships in the context of occupational mobility in Scotland 2001-2011 using the census based Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS). This presentation will consider the practical and theoretical advances offered by this approach to examining the complex nexus between occupational and spatial mobility. We will also introduce a new project which will mainly use the SLS to explore recent internal population dynamics in Scotland.

Parental socioeconomic influences on filial educational outcomes in Scotland: patterns of school-level educational performance using administrative data

Abstract:

In Britain there have been manifest changes in the management and organisation of education, but despite these developments there are still persistent inequalities in pupils’ educational outcomes. These inequalities are consequential because school qualifications are known to influence both pupils’ immediate continuation in education, and their later educational and occupational outcomes. The Scottish school system is similar to the system in England and Wales but there are a distinctive set of qualifications. From the mid-1980s until 2013 the final years of compulsory schooling led up to Standard Grade qualifications. Standard Grades were similar to the General Certificates of Secondary Education (GCSEs) and are worthy of detailed sociological examination because they were the first major branching point in the Scottish education system. A specialist dataset using administrative records was constructed for this project. The dataset comprises young people who undertook Standard Grades in Scottish schools between 2007 and 2011, who were members of the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS). We analyse pupils’ subject-area outcomes using a latent variable modelling approach, and explore characteristics associated with the membership of latent educational groups. The analyses uncovered four main latent educational groups. One group had very positive outcomes and pupils were generally more socially advantaged; another group had very poor outcomes and were generally more socially disadvantaged. There were two ‘middle’ groups, which both had similar moderate overall Standard Grade outcomes, but notably different subject-area-level outcomes. We conclude that during school hours these pupils are unlikely to be found drinking Iron Brew WKD in their local parks or at home playing on their Xbox; however, they are also unlikely to be filling out university application forms in the next couple of years.

Abstract:

Socioeconomically disadvantaged children are more likely to be of shorter stature and overweight, leading to greater risk of obesity in adulthood. Disentangling the mediatory pathways between socioeconomic disadvantage and childhood size may help in the development of appropriate policies aimed at reducing these health inequalities. We aimed to elucidate the putative mediatory role of birth weight using a representative sample of the Scottish population born 1991–2001 (n = 16,628). Estimated height and overweight/obesity at age 4.5 years were related to three measures of socioeconomic disadvantage (mother’s education, Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation, synthetic weekly income). Mediation was examined using two approaches: a ‘traditional’ mediation analysis and a counterfactual-based mediation analysis. Both analyses identified a negative effect of each measure of socioeconomic disadvantage on height, mediated to some extent by birth weight, and a positive ‘direct effect’ of mother’s education and Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation on overweight/obesity, which was partly counterbalanced by a negative ‘indirect effect’. The extent of mediation estimated when adopting the traditional approach was greater than when adopting the counterfactual-based approach because of inappropriate handling of intermediate confounding in the former. Our findings suggest that higher birth weight in more disadvantaged groups is associated with reduced social inequalities in height but also with increased inequalities in overweight/obesity.

Abstract:

To determine the drivers of social and spatial mobility and the relationship between social and geographic mobility and health outcomes and premature mortality in later life, the 1947 Scottish Mental Survey (a 1936 birth cohort with age 11 cognitive ability test scores) was linked to the Scottish Longitudinal Study, and census data. The patterns of inter-generational social and geographical mobility of this cohort, and how this relates to their cognitive ability, were explored. To determine whether Edinburgh may operate as escalator’ region we examined the movement between three geographical areas in Scotland. We also modelled the relationship between social and geographic mobility and health outcomes in later life.

Glasgow’s life expectancy is lower than other Scottish cities and comparable English cities. As this is not entirely explained by the high levels of deprivation, a number of theories have been suggested, including that of selective migration, where the upwardly mobile move out of Glasgow, leaving behind those who are more deprived and less healthy. Further research will explore the impact of social mobility and migration to Scottish New Towns on health inequalities and premature mortality in Glasgow using 1947 SMS data, again examining the role of cognitive ability.

Abstract:

This poster will introduce the SLS and the datasets, the application process for researchers interested in using the SLS and outline research examples. The Longitudinal Studies Centre – Scotland (LSCS) was established in 2001 and hosts the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS). This study links together routinely collected administrative data for a 5.3% representative sample of the Scottish population (about 270,000 people). It currently includes a wealth of information from the censuses starting in 1991, vital events registrations (births, deaths and marriages), Scottish education data, and with appropriate permissions can be linked to NHS health data including cancer registry and hospital admission data. The size and scope of the SLS make it an unparalleled resource in Scotland for analysing a range of socio-economic, demographic and health questions. Additionally, the longitudinal nature of the SLS is particularly valuable, allowing an exploration of causality in a way that cross-sectional data collected at a single point in time does not. In this way, the SLS can provide insights into the health and social status of the Scottish population and, crucially, how it changes over time. The 2016 BSPS conference presents an excellent opportunity to highlight the data that is available and will help researchers decide whether the SLS is an appropriate resource for their research.

Abstract:

When synthetic data are produced to overcome potential disclosure they can be used either in place of the original data or, more commonly, to allow researchers to develop code that will ultimately be run on the original data. The utility of synthetic data can be measured by comparing the results of the final analysis with the synthetic and original data. This is not possible until the final analysis is complete. General utility measures that measure the overall differences between the original and synthetic data are more useful for those creating synthetic data. This presentation will discuss two such measures. The first is a propensity score measure originally proposed by Woo et. al., 2009 and the second is one based on comparing tables, suggested by Voas and Williamson, 2001. Their null distributions, when the synthesis model is "correct" will be discussed as well as their practical implementation as part of the synthpop package.

Abstract:

NEET is a contested concept. However, it is consistently used by policy makers and shown in research to be associated with negative outcomes. In this paper we use the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) to examine whether NEET status is associated with subsequent occupational scarring. The SLS provides a 5.3% sample of Scotland, based on the censuses of 1991, 2001 and 2011. We model occupational position, using CAMSIS, controlling for the influence of sex, limiting long term illness, educational attainment and geographical deprivation. We find the NEET categorization to be a marker of a subsequent negative outcome at the aggregate level. This appears to be redolent of a Matthew effect, whereby disadvantage accumulates to the already disadvantaged. Our results also show that negative NEET effects are variable when stratifying by educational attainment and are different for men and women. These findings confirm that there are negative effects on occupational position associated with prior NEET status but that outcomes are heterogeneous depending on levels of education and gender.

An exploration of educational outcomes for children with disabilities

Abstract:

Evidence from cross-sectional and panel studies, qualitative research and reports drawn primarily from snapshot Government statistics indicate that children with disabilities face particular barriers to achieving success within and beyond education. However to date little or no longitudinal research has been published investigating the causal relationship between disability and education and employment outcomes. This lack has been noted by WHO in their World Report on Disability (2011) which repeatedly calls for more longitudinal research in order to “allow researchers and policy-makers to understand better the dynamics of disability.” Education is often key to future participation in the labour market; the DWP ‘Fulfilling Potential’ report goes so far as to say that “for those who are born with an impairment or a health condition, education and other early life experiences influence the whole of their life chances.” A lack of robust measures and classification issues make it difficult to accurately estimate the numbers of children with a disability, however DWP statistics suggest that around 7% of children in the UK are covered by the Equality Act (approx. 0.9M children). The inclusion of more detailed health questions in the 2011 Scottish Census, along with the Scottish Longitudinal Study’s linkage to education data from ScotXed has created a unique opportunity to conduct research in this area. This paper presents part of a wider project and investigates the influence of childhood disability – and other possible confounding factors such as type of disability, parental disability and socioeconomic status – on educational attainment.

Abstract:

This article describes the new synthetic England and Wales Longitudinal Study ‘spine’ dataset designed for teaching and experimentation purposes. In the United Kingdom, there exist three Census-based longitudinal micro-datasets, known collectively as the Longitudinal Studies. The England and Wales Longitudinal Study (LS) is a 1% sample of the population of England and Wales (around 500,000 individuals), linking individual person records from the 1971 to 2011 Censuses. The synthetic data presented contains a similar number of individuals to the original data and accurate longitudinal transitions between 2001 and 2011 for key demographic variables, but unlike the original data, is open access.

Social origin differences in subject choices in secondary education – New evidence from the Scottish Longitudinal Study

Klein, M. & Iannelli, I. (2015) British Sociological Association 2015 Annual Conference, 'Societies in Transition: Progression or Regression?', Glasgow Caledonian University, Glasgow, 15 - 17 April 2015 [SLS]

Abstract:

In this paper we assess the impact of student social origin on continuing school after compulsory education and choosing different subjects in upper secondary education (S5/S6) in Scotland. We further consider to what extent subject choice and performance until the end of compulsory education (S4) mediates continuation decisions and subject choice in upper secondary education. In Scotland (and more generally in the UK) access to prestigious universities and higher-status occupations not only depends on educational attainment but is strongly linked to having achieved qualifications in specific subjects. Parents from higher social origin can provide better support to their children when making educational decisions, particularly subject choice, than parents from lower social origin since they are more familiar with the educational system, the requirements of higher education entrance and subsequent labour market opportunities. We expect strong social inequalities in subject choices in secondary education that, in turn, have consequences for later decisions on HE entrance and labour market outcomes. With a few exceptions, social mobility and educational research largely neglected the role of secondary school subjects in the reproduction of social inequalities. The paper benefits from a large new data source for Scotland, the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS), which links 2001 Census data to administrative school data (2007-2010). These unique data provide detailed information on parental background characteristics, household and neighbourhood information, school attendance and school attainment at various stages (including attainment in different subjects at secondary level).

Flexible ageing: new ways to measure the diverse experience of population aging in Scotland, using the Scottish Longitudinal Study

End of Award Report

Extract:

...This project takes a sociodemographic approach to assess the challenges and opportunities of ageing populations in different contexts. Single-year of age and sex population estimate data and life expectancy data from the National Records of Scotland (NRS) (formerly General Register Office for Scotland (GROS)) ―for the period 1981-2011― and the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) ―related to the 1991 and 2001 censuses ― are used to construct new measures of population ageing based on years of remaining life expectancy rather than years since birth. In other words, we treat age in terms of years left until death rather than calendar age. While the latter is routinely used in the social sciences as well as in public policy (e.g. for the calculation of dependency ratios) because of the straightforward availability of data and their relevance to eligibility criteria set by public policy for e.g. pension entitlement and other social benefits, these measures do not consider the impact of one of the two main drivers of population ageing: improvements in survival, which has been responsible for large gains in life expectancy among older ages over the last half a century in the case of men and an additional several decades for women. While the NRS data allows for the analysis of a longer time period, the SLS data permits a more detailed analysis of the level of ageing, for instance by making estimating for specific sub-populations including different categories of (former) occupation, marital status, subjective rated health and level of area deprivation. The SLS data also allow us to estimate the size and composition of the elderly according to these census variables and produce dependency ratios of the older population to the employed rather than the usual working-age population in Scotland. The goal then is to see if these tell a different story from the conventional old-age dependency ratios.

Abstract:

This paper investigates whether experiences of young people who are not in employment, education or training (NEET) are associated with adverse long-term outcomes in health. We used the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS), which collates information from the 1991, 2001, and 2011 censuses as well as from vital events, for a 5.3% representative sample of the Scottish population. Linked health data such as hospital admissions and prescribing in general practice are also available. We followed around 10000 young people who were aged 16-19 in 1991 up to 2011. We explored whether NEET young people in 1991 displayed higher risks of poor physical and mental health in the follow-up period. Poor physical health is measured by any admission into hospital and poor mental health is measured by prescription of anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medication. We used descriptive and modelling approaches in our analysis. Covariates include a number of individual socio-economic characteristics and local area characteristics in the models. Our research found that over 40% of the cohort members have been admitted into hospital, while over 30% have been prescribed with anti-depressant and anti-anxiety drugs. The NEET status in 1991 is found to be associated with hospitalisation with adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 1.28 (95% Confidence Intervals (CIs): 1.10 – 1.49). Also the NEET experiences are associated with poor mental health with OR of 1.67 (95% CI: 1.43 – 1.96). Policy intervention is necessary in assisting NEET young people to re-engage in education or employment.

What is the effect of unemployment on all-cause mortality? A cohort study using propensity score matching

Clemens, T., Popham, F. & Boyle, P. (2015) European Journal of Public Health, 25 (1), 115 - 121 [SLS]

Other information:
Abstract:

Background: There is a strong association between unemployment and mortality, but whether this relationship is causal remains debated. This study utilizes population-level administrative data from Scotland within a propensity score framework to explore whether the association between unemployment and mortality may be causal.

Methods: The study examined a sample of working men and women aged 25–54 in 1991. Subsequent employment status in 2001 was observed (in work or unemployed) and the relative all-cause mortality risk of unemployment between 2001 and 2010 was estimated. To account for potential selection into unemployment of those in poor health, a propensity score matching approach was used. Matching variables were observed prior to unemployment and included health status up to the year of unemployment (hospital admissions and self-reported limiting long-term illness), as well as measures of socioeconomic position.

Results: Unemployment was associated with a significant all-cause mortality risk relative to employment for men (hazard ratio [HR] 1.85; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.33–2.55). This effect was robust to controlling for prior health and sociodemographic characteristics. Effects for women were smaller and statistically insignificant (HR 1.51; 95% CI 0.68–3.37).

Conclusion: For men, the findings support the notion that the often-observed association between unemployment and mortality may contain a significant causal component; although for women, there is less support for this conclusion. However, female employment status, as recorded in the census, is more complex than for men and may have served to underestimate any mortality effect of unemployment. Future work should examine this issue further.

Know Thyself: Utilising routinely collected data to gain insight into the social determinants of nurses’ health

Abstract:

The seminal Whitehall Studies have for decades provided some of the most compelling evidence around the deleterious effects of inequalities on health (Marmot and Brunner, 2005). These cohort studies followed British civil servants over time to ascertain the implications of social circumstances on health. This paper reports new research drawing on routinely collected data about nurses that similarly informs the nursing profession about the health and wellbeing of its members and also provides insights into wider questions around the social determinants of health.

Two of our recent studies are drawn on as a basis for critical reflection. The first used a sample of 13,483 people drawn from a routinely collected cross-sectional health survey of the Scottish population. Analysis estimated prevalence of nurses who were overweight and obese and then compared and contrasted the resulting proportion with other occupational groups. It found that those in the general population were significantly less likely to be overweight compared to nurses (Odds Ratio [OR] 0.45 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 0.62-0.97). The second study used a sample of 4,529 nurses from anonymised linked decennial census and mortality data. Analysis was designed to ascertain if a ‘Glasgow Effect’ (Walsh et al. 2008) was evident amongst nurses in Scotland. It found nurses in the West of Scotland had significantly higher mortality compared to the rest of Scotland (OR 1.62 95% CI 1.22-2.17).

Our findings from these two studies are striking because nurses are a very health literate sub-section of the population. Hence, in line with results from the Whitehall Studies, we provide startling new evidence about the influence of social circumstances and working conditions on health and wellbeing. We conclude by arguing that our compelling findings demonstrate the value of innovative analysis using routinely collected data and have far-reaching research, policy and educational implications.

Outcomes of NEET, what happens to young people in Scotland who are not in education, employment and training? Longitudinal analyses over a 20 year follow up period

Ralston, K., Everington, D., Feng, Z. & Dibben, C. (2015) Journal of Youth Studies Conference, Copenhagen 30 March - 1 April 2015 [SLS]

Abstract:

Background: Young people not in education employment or training (NEET) are the subject of policy concern in several countries. The NEET classification is open to criticism as many NEETs transition into employment. This analysis follows young people 16-19 years old in 1991 over a 20 year follow up period to understand how NEET status relates to health, education and occupational outcomes.

Data: We use the Scottish Longitudinal Study which provides a 5.3% sample of Scotland and is based around the Censuses of 1991, 2001 and 2011. Routinely collected administrative health data and education data are also linked to the SLS for these analyses. This allows us to test whether NEET status is associated with worse health outcomes, lower educational attainment and occupational position.

Methods: We apply descriptive and modelling approaches, including logistic regression. We use economic, educational and health outcomes. We control for confounders such as sex, limiting long term illness, prior economic activity, prior educational attainment and geographical deprivation. We use NSSEC and CAMSIS to measure occupational position.

Findings: 18% of those NEET in 1991 are not economically active at both the 2001 or 2011 Census. We find the NEET categorization to be a strong marker of subsequent negative outcomes, such as a higher odds of admission to hospital following self-harm OR, 5.8 (CI 3.6-9.6) and higher odds of having no qualifications, OR 5.9 (CI 4.8-7.4). Of those NEET who do transition to work there is strong evidence of a scarring effect.

Abstract:

The Census & Administrative data LongitudinaL Studies Hub (CALLS Hub) has been commissioned by the ESRC to support, promote and harmonise the work of the three LS Research Support Units (CeLSIUS, NILS-RSU, SLS-DSU), with the aim of providing a more streamlined experience for users. The three UK census Longitudinal Studies provide a unique and powerful research resource for a range of academic disciplines. They also form a powerful source of research evidence for policy-makers, practitioners and third sector bodies. CALLS Hub exists to help researchers find the information and resources they need in a straightforward way, and to promote the work and impact of the RSU’s to a wider audience. By bringing together the three studies, we can also highlight the potential benefits and possibilities of using more than one LS, either to allow regional comparisons or to build a national population. The aims of CALLS Hub are:

  • To enhance the research potential of the LSs by co-ordinating the development of new resources and methodologies.
  • To enhance and streamline the user experience of obtaining information about the LSs and applying to use them for research.
  • To increase academic impact by developing communication strategies to raise awareness of the LSs, promoting their outputs and facilitating their impact strategies.
  • To increase the economic and societal impact of the LSs by working together with key external stakeholders to develop research projects meeting their evidence needs.
  • To facilitate and encourage the use of multiple LSs for UK-wide research.

Extract:

TEENAGERS who shun education or employment after leaving school risk being scarred for life by the decision, a new study has revealed.

It was found that 16 to 19 year olds who were not in education, employment or training (neets) in 1991 and 2001 suffered from a clear "scarring effect", when researchers who tracked them found they were far less likely to be leading healthy or productive lives years later.

The research, carried out for the Scottish Government, found that in 2011, those who had been neet a decade earlier were almost three times more likely to be unemployed or economically inactive compared to peers who had been learning or with jobs, while their physical and mental health was also significantly poorer.

Everington, D., Ralston, K., Feng, Z. & Dibben, C. (2015) Journal of Youth Studies Conference, Copenhagen 31 March - 1 April 2015 [SLS]

Other information:
Abstract:

Background: The high level of young people not in education, employment or training (NEET) has been an important issue in Scotland for over a decade. This analysis follows people who were 6-9 years old at the time of the 1991 Census to the 2001 Census when they were 16-19 years old. This allows us to test whether NEET status in 2001 is associated with individual characteristics and childhood living conditions measured in 1991 and the highest qualification, local area characteristics and whether they had had a teenage pregnancy in 2001.

Data: We use the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) which provides a 5.3% sample of Scotland and is based around the Censuses of 1991, 2001 and 2011. We link Census data for family members and vital event data to these records.

Methods: We apply logistic regression, reporting odds ratios and confidence intervals.

Finding: Many factors were found to be associated with the likelihood of being NEET. The most important of these were teenage pregnancy and having no qualifications. Nearly half of the NEETs had one of these attributes. Living in an area where there was a high level of NEETs was also important. Significant childhood factors were living in rented accommodation, living in a household where either all economically active persons were unemployed or there were no economically active persons and having more than one sibling.

Maternal residence in urban, rural and island communities and the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in Scotland

Clemens, T. (2015) 16th International Medical Geography Symposium, Vancouver, Canada, 6 - 10 July 2015 [SLS]

Other information:
Abstract:

Adverse birth outcomes, which are important determinants of a number of later life outcomes, have been shown to be associated with both social and environmental characteristics of the mother’s area of residence. However the degree to which pregnancy outcomes vary between urban, rural and island areas remains relatively understudied. Existing evidence from North America shows that rural areas have been associated with poorer outcomes at birth mostly due to the increased levels of poverty and poorer access to services in these areas. The few studies conducted in Europe on the other hand seem to show a protective rural effect for birth outcomes, perhaps via a reduced stress type pathway, while very few studies have looked at island communities specifically. In this study we use routinely collected maternity inpatient records linked to census data and other environmental datasets to examine whether birth weight varies between urban and rural and island and mainland communities in Scotland whilst adjusting for possible confounding by socio-economic status (SES) and characteristics of the physical environment. We highlight two main findings; firstly that maternal residence in an island community has a large and significant protective effect on birth weight independently of effects due to urban and rural environment and other factors and, secondly, that this effect appears to be related to the ‘remoteness’ of island communities. Potential explanations for the findings will be explored and discussed during the presentation.

Breakout Session description:

Dr Lee Williamson will introduce you to the SLS which links together routinely collected administrative data for a 5.3% representative sample of the Scottish population. The SLS with appropriate permissions can also be linked to other health data sources.. The size and scope of the SLS make it an unparalleled resource for understanding a range of socio-economic, demographic and health questions.

Dr Zhiqiang Feng will reports findings from a study which investigated the consequences, and risk factors of young people not in education, employment or training (NEET) over the past two decades. The study used the SLS to allow an effective assessment of risk factors and consequences. The research provides new longitudinal evidence which may help to understand past and current policy impacts as well as informing future policy development.

Abstract:

The objective of this project is to create a new 1936 Birth Cohort Study from routine and administrative data. It is structured around the existing Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS). We took the SLS birth date sample from the Scottish Mental Survey of 1947 (SMS1947) and linked it to the 1939 Register, the National Health Service Central Register (NHSCR) and the SLS. The outcome is a powerful life-course dataset containing information from childhood to old age.

Abstract:

Background
Little is known about the interaction between socio-economic status and ‘protected characteristics’ in Scotland. This study aimed to examine whether differences in mortality were moderated by interactions with social class or deprivation. The practical value was to pinpoint population groups for priority action on health inequality reduction and health improvement rather than a sole focus on the most deprived socioeconomic groups.

Methods
We used data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study which captures a 5.3 % sample of Scotland and links the censuses of 1991, 2001 and 2011. Hazard ratios for mortality were estimated for those protected characteristics with sufficient deaths using Cox proportional hazards models and through the calculation of European age-standardised mortality rates. Inequality was measured by calculating the Relative Index of Inequality (RII).

Results
The Asian population had a polarised distribution across deprivation deciles and was more likely to be in social class I and II. Those reporting disablement were more likely to live in deprived areas, as were those raised Roman Catholic, whilst those raised as Church of Scotland or as ‘other Christian’ were less likely to. Those aged 35-54 years were the least likely to live in deprived areas and were most likely to be in social class I and II. Males had higher mortality than females, and disabled people had higher mortality than non-disabled people, across all deprivation deciles and social classes. Asian males and females had generally lower mortality hazards than majority ethnic (‘White’) males and females although the estimates for Asian males and females were imprecise in some social classes and deprivation deciles. Males and females who reported their raised religion as Roman Catholic or reported ‘No religion’ had generally higher mortality than other groups, although the estimates for ‘Other religion’ and ‘Other Christian’ were less precise.Using both the area deprivation and social class distributions for the whole population, relative mortality inequalities were usually greater amongst those who did not report being disabled, Asians and females aged 35-44 years, males by age, and people aged <75 years. The RIIs for the raised religious groups were generally similar or too imprecise to comment on differences.

Conclusions
Mortality in Scotland is higher in the majority population, disabled people, males, those reporting being raised as Roman Catholics or with ‘no religion’ and lower in Asians, females and other religious groups. Relative inequalities in mortality were lower in disabled than nondisabled people, the majority population, females, and greatest in young adults. From the perspective of intersectionality theory, our results clearly demonstrate the importance of representing multiple identities in research on health inequalities.

Place of work and residential exposure to ambient air pollution and birth outcomes in Scotland, using geographically fine pollution climate mapping estimates

Abstract:

Objectives
A relationship between ambient air pollution and adverse birth outcomes has been found in a large number of studies that have mainly used a nearest monitor methodology. Recent research has suggested that the effect size may have been underestimated in these studies. This paper examines associations between birth outcomes and ambient levels of residential and workplace sulphur dioxide, particulates and Nitrogen Dioxide estimated using an alternative method – pollution climate mapping.

Methods
Risk of low birthweight and mean birthweight (for n=21,843 term births) and risk of preterm birth (for n=23,086 births) were modelled against small area annual mean ambient air pollution concentrations at work and residence location adjusting for potential confounding factors for singleton live births (1994–2008) across Scotland.

Results
Odds ratios of low birthweight of 1.02 (95% CI, 1.01–1.03) and 1.07 (95% CI, 1.01–1.12) with concentration increases of 1 µg/m3 for NO2 and PM10 respectively. Raised but insignificant risks of very preterm birth were found with PM10 (relative risk ratio=1.08; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.17 per 1 µg/m3) and NO2 (relative risk ratio=1.01; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.03 per 1 µg/m3). An inverse association between mean birthweight and mean annual NO2(−1.24 g; 95% CI, −2.02 to −0.46 per 1 µg/m3) and PM10 (−5.67 g; 95% CI, −9.47 to −1.87 per 1 µg/m3). SO2 showed no significant associations.

Conclusions
This study highlights the association between air pollution exposure and reduced newborn size at birth. Together with other recent work it also suggests that exposure estimation based on the nearest monitor method may have led to an under-estimation of the effect size of pollutants on birth outcomes.

Flexible ageing: new ways to measure the diverse experience of population ageing in Scotland, using the Scottish Longitudinal Study

Spijker, J. & MacInnes, J. (2015) SLS Impact Case Study 1. 5 November 2015. [SLS]

Other information: Although population has become a core policy concern, the debate is often flawed by poor definitions of ‘old age’. The Scottish Longitudinal Study was used to test a new measure of ageing, the Real Elderly Dependency Ratio (REDR) on various demographic groups. ‘Elderly’ was defined as those with remaining life expectancy of less than 15 years instead of 65+ and rather than taking those of working age as the population who sustains them, only actual workers were classed as such. By taking into account the changing patterns of employment and old-age mortality, results showed that the REDR defines the burden of an ageing population more accurately than existing measures. Following publication in the BMJ, the results were widely disseminated internationally. This led to opportunities to speak directly to both Westminster and Scottish Governments, think tanks and other public and third-sector organisations.

Abstract:

The past few decades have seen significant demographic, social and economic changes that have resulted in increased diversity across individual life courses and housing careers. The study of residential relocation and housing conditions at older ages – in particular following changes in individual situations and household composition – is thus an important focus for research. Litwak and Longino’s (1987) identified three typologies of moves for older people: amenity-related or retirement moves; disability or health-related moves; and moves to institutions. Studies from the UK have supported this conceptualisation but Scotland has never been the focus of their empirical investigations. The aim of our study is to address this research gap. We investigate housing transitions in later adulthood in Scotland, covering the period when older adults are entering retirement and going through important changes in their households’ composition. The study addresses two main research questions: What are the key determinants of older adults’ residential moves? What are the key determinants of housing adjustments (downsizing/upsizing) among older individuals who move? We use data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) for two decades (1991-2001 and 2001-2011) and adopt a repeated cross-sectional design to examine the circumstances of older people at the beginning and end of each period. The sample for each decade comprises individuals aged 55 to 69 and living in private households at the start of the decade. Separately for each decade, we observe whether individuals had changed their address (based on postcode of residence) by the end of the period. We use logistic regression to assess the relationship between the likelihood of a residential move and socio-demographic and housing characteristics measured at the beginning of the period, and household changes and other life events occurring throughout the period. Then, and only for individuals who changed address between two consecutive censuses, we observe whether the move implied any adjustment of their housing size. A multinomial logistic regression is used to contrast downsizing and upsizing to the base category same size, and to assess the influence of individual and family conditions (and their change over time) on the likelihood and the direction of housing adjustments. Both for residential mobility and housing adjustments, the models are extended to include contextual variables at the local authority level within a multilevel framework.

Who gets on to the property ladder in Scotland? – Changing transitions to home ownership among young adults over two decades

Graham, E., Fiori, F. & Feng, Z. (2015) CPC briefing paper, 26 [SLS]

Other information:
Abstract:

Young adults in Scotland, as elsewhere in the UK, are now experiencing greater difficulties getting onto the property ladder than they did in the 1990s. This study examines the characteristics and family background of those who left the parental home and became homeowners between 2001 and 2011. It then compares their experiences with the experiences of young adults in the previous decade. The findings indicate that the advantage associated with higher education has increased but so has the influence of family background, whereas securing professional employment is less of an advantage for getting onto the property than it was in the past. Thus there is a risk of inherited inequalities becoming entrenched and further reducing the social mobility of young adults in the future.

Event details:

The reuse of data from existing health records is increasingly important in social health research. As potential subjects of health data audience members have a stake in understanding the mechanisms and motivations for accessing and using administrative records on the population for research.

This event explores ethics and governance of social health research interactively. Audience members will participate in decisions on accessing data from various sources to answer a specific population health question. We will use the real example of the relationship between low birth weight and pollution and access to data from the Scottish Morbidity Databases and hospital records and linkage with the Scottish Longitudinal Survey (SLS). At each stage the audience will be asked which type of data would be required and which governance structure would fit best. We will use the comparison between audience expectations and current ethics and governance frameworks as a spring board for discussion.

Flexible ageing: new ways to measure the diverse experience of population aging in Scotland, using the Scottish Longitudinal Study

Spijker, J. & MacInnes, J. (2015) SLS Research Working Paper 11. Longitudinal Studies Centre Scotland: Edinburgh/St Andrews, 5 November 2015. [SLS]

Extract:

...This project takes a sociodemographic approach to assess the challenges and opportunities of ageing populations in different contexts. Single-year of age and sex population estimate data and life expectancy data from the National Records of Scotland (NRS) (formerly General Register Office for Scotland (GROS)) ―for the period 1981-2011― and the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) ―related to the 1991 and 2001 censuses ― are used to construct new measures of population ageing based on years of remaining life expectancy rather than years since birth. In other words, we treat age in terms of years left until death rather than calendar age. While the latter is routinely used in the social sciences as well as in public policy (e.g. for the calculation of dependency ratios) because of the straightforward availability of data and their relevance to eligibility criteria set by public policy for e.g. pension entitlement and other social benefits, these measures do not consider the impact of one of the two main drivers of population ageing: improvements in survival, which has been responsible for large gains in life expectancy among older ages over the last half a century in the case of men and an additional several decades for women. While the NRS data allows for the analysis of a longer time period, the SLS data permits a more detailed analysis of the level of ageing, for instance by making estimating for specific sub-populations including different categories of (former) occupation, marital status, subjective rated health and level of area deprivation. The SLS data also allow us to estimate the size and composition of the elderly according to these census variables and produce dependency ratios of the older population to the employed rather than the usual working-age population in Scotland. The goal then is to see if these tell a different story from the conventional old-age dependency ratios.

To downsize or not? Household changes and housing consumption among older adults in Scotland

Graham, E., Fiori, F. & Feng, Z. (2015) CPC briefing paper, 30 [SLS]

Abstract:

What sort of housing moves are older adults making? And are they more likely to upsize or downsize? In what circumstances do older people downsize? Can we rely on the older generation moving out of bigger family homes to release the housing stock for younger families and relieve Scotland’s housing crisis? This study investigates the influence of household changes on the residential moves of older adults in Scotland. It compares the 1990s and the 2000s, and examines the moves of those aged 55 to 69 at the beginning of each decade.

Abstract:

The Scottish school education system roughly mirrors the system in the rest of the UK but the qualifications that young people study for are markedly different. Although the Scottish school qualifications system has recently undergone radical change, Standard Grades have been the main qualifications undertaken by Scottish pupils when they reach the end of compulsory schooling for a number of years, and are the main focus of this paper. These qualifications are important because they mark the first branching point of the educational life-course in Scotland. The study of socio-economic inequalities in school level attainment is well established, however school-level educational attainment in Scotland has been under-researched due to the lack of suitable data resources. In this paper we exploit a recent linkage of administrative data from the Scottish Qualifications Authority with the Scottish Longitudinal Study.

Pupils undertaking Standard Grades studied a mixture of ‘core’ and ‘optional’ subjects from a wide diet of subject choices. Each Standard Grade subject was awarded an individual grade ranging from 1 – 7. Therefore, Scottish pupils have highly individualised patterns of Standard Grade results and there is no single agreed upon overall measure of a pupil’s Standard Grade attainment. In recent work examining school attainment in England and Wales we have demonstrated that there are substantively important patterns of subject level attainment which are occluded when general overall measures are constructed and analysed.

In this paper we examine the relationship between parental socio-economic circumstances and detailed subject-specific patterns of standard grade performance using latent variable techniques. The results of this research will facilitate a better understanding of standard grade attainment in Scotland. We will also make methodological considerations by comparing alternative latent variable approaches.

Inequalities in Alcohol-Related Mortality in 17 European Countries: A Retrospective Analysis of Mortality Registers

Abstract:

Background Socioeconomic inequalities in alcohol-related mortality have been documented in several European countries, but it is unknown whether the magnitude of these inequalities differs between countries and whether these inequalities increase or decrease over time.

Methods and Findings
We collected and harmonized data on mortality from four alcohol-related causes (alcoholic psychosis, dependence, and abuse; alcoholic cardiomyopathy; alcoholic liver cirrhosis; and accidental poisoning by alcohol) by age, sex, education level, and occupational class in 20 European populations from 17 different countries, both for a recent period and for previous points in time, using data from mortality registers. Mortality was age-standardized using the European Standard Population, and measures for both relative and absolute inequality between low and high socioeconomic groups (as measured by educational level and occupational class) were calculated.

Rates of alcohol-related mortality are higher in lower educational and occupational groups in all countries. Both relative and absolute inequalities are largest in Eastern Europe, and Finland and Denmark also have very large absolute inequalities in alcohol-related mortality. For example, for educational inequality among Finnish men, the relative index of inequality is 3.6 (95% CI 3.3–4.0) and the slope index of inequality is 112.5 (95% CI 106.2–118.8) deaths per 100,000 person-years. Over time, the relative inequality in alcohol-related mortality has increased in many countries, but the main change is a strong rise of absolute inequality in several countries in Eastern Europe (Hungary, Lithuania, Estonia) and Northern Europe (Finland, Denmark) because of a rapid rise in alcohol-related mortality in lower socioeconomic groups. In some of these countries, alcohol-related causes now account for 10% or more of the socioeconomic inequality in total mortality.

Because our study relies on routinely collected underlying causes of death, it is likely that our results underestimate the true extent of the problem.

Conclusions
Alcohol-related conditions play an important role in generating inequalities in total mortality in many European countries. Countering increases in alcohol-related mortality in lower socioeconomic groups is essential for reducing inequalities in mortality. Studies of why such increases have not occurred in countries like France, Switzerland, Spain, and Italy can help in developing evidence-based policies in other European countries.

Abstract:

The aim of this research, involving data linkage and health outcomes, is to gain a full understanding of the impact of both fertility histories and childlessness on health outcomes mid-life. The research draws on and extends work on reproductive histories and life-course outcomes. We aim to extend this area of research specifically for Scotland based on Scottish Census data (1991-2011), namely the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) linked to health data from the NHS Scottish Morbidity Records (SMR).

Where the census health measures, including the new 2011 Census health condition question on mental health, are the research outcomes and the explanatory information is from Census socio-economic data captured along with the SMR02 Maternity Inpatient and Day Case dataset and the SMR04 Mental Health Inpatient and Day Case dataset.

The SLS allows follow-up to mid-life for specific female SLS birth cohorts from the 1991 Census. From preliminary modelling we find high birth parity to be an important factor in relation to self-reported mental health conditions. For limiting long-term illness birth parity is initially important but not once socio-economic variables are controlled for. Preliminary modelling also highlights that relationship status, single, married or cohabiting, to be important over that of legal marital status as recorded at Census.

Abstract:

This poster will introduce the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) and the datasets, the application process for researchers interested in using the SLS and outline research examples. The Longitudinal Studies Centre – Scotland (LSCS) was established in 2001 and hosts the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS). This study links together routinely collected administrative data for a 5.3% representative sample of the Scottish population (about 270,000 people). It currently includes a wealth of information from the censuses starting in 1991, vital events registrations (births, deaths and marriages), Scottish education data, and with appropriate permissions can be linked to NHS health data including cancer registry and hospital admission data. The size and scope of the SLS make it an unparalleled resource in Scotland for analysing a range of socio-economic, demographic and health questions. Additionally, the longitudinal nature of the SLS is particularly valuable, allowing an exploration of causality in a way that cross-sectional data collected at a single point in time does not. In this way, the SLS can provide insights into the health and social status of the Scottish population and, crucially, how it changes over time.

Evaluating the impact of area regeneration programmes in Scotland: a mixed- methods approach

Archibald, D. (2015) iPower presentation, Dept of Geography & Sustainable Development, University of St Andrews, UK, 20 May 2015 [SLS]

Other information:
Abstract:

The last three decades have seen significant investment in area-based initiatives in Scotland to regenerate disadvantaged areas. The potential to combat multiple deprivation is often used as justification for such a large-scale investment. Nevertheless, evaluation of these initiatives has been limited and produced conflicting results. Some regeneration programmes appear to have had positive effects on the lives of residents, whilst others have had no, or even a detrimental effect.

This may, however, be attributed to difficulties in designing appropriate evaluation studies rather than the effects of regeneration per se. For example, following individuals over time so that their changing circumstances can be more related to the regeneration processes that they experience has rarely been done. Many evaluations have relied on comparing population characteristics in an area before and after regeneration, ignoring the fact that the resident population may have changed substantially during this period.

This research sought to address such limitations by using a rigorous research design that employed longitudinal data and innovative techniques to assess how area regeneration impacted on the lives of individuals resident in disadvantaged areas in Scotland.

A longitudinal analysis of health effects of NEET experiences in Scotland, 2001-2011

Abstract:

This paper investigates whether experiences of young people who are not in employment, education or training (NEET) are associated with adverse long-term outcomes in health. We used the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS), which collates information from the 1991, 2001, and 2011 censuses as well as from vital events, for a 5.3% representative sample of the Scottish population. Linked health data such as hospital admissions and prescribing in general practice are also available. We followed around 10,000 young people who were aged 16-19 in 2001 up to 2011. We explored whether NEET young people in 2001 displayed higher risks of poor physical and mental health in the follow-up period. Poor physical health is measured by less than good health, and limiting long term illness from the 2011 census and poor mental health is measured by prescription of anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medicine. We used descriptive and modelling approaches in our analysis.

Covariates include a number of individual socioeconomic characteristics and local area characteristics in the models. Our research found that around 6% of the cohort members have reported less than good health, and 7% reported limiting long term illness, while around 30% have been prescribed with anti-depressant and anti-anxiety drugs. The NEET status in 2001 appears to be associated with poor general health and limiting long term illness: young NEET people were over 50% more likely to report poor health and limiting long term illness. Also the NEET experiences are associated with poor mental health with the odds of poor mental health is over 60% higher among NEET people than the odds among non-NEET people. The effect of NEET experiences appears to be consistent for men and for women. Policy intervention is necessary in assisting NEET young people to re-engage in education or employment.

Abstract:

It is now widely recognised, from studies in many different countries, that air pollution has adverse effects on human health and explains a significant proportion of the global burden of disease. Recent work has also suggested that air pollution may have a negative effect on the outcomes of pregnancy, such as birthweight and prematurity. However, although these studies have enhanced knowledge and understanding of the risks of air pollution to foetuses, caution is still needed when interpreting the findings collectively because of important differences in methodological approaches. Importantly, the majority of studies use the nearest monitor method to estimate maternal exposure for both the entire pregnancy and trimester specific periods, which averages pollutant concentrations from the nearest (static) monitor to the mother's residential location. In this talk I will outline why landuse based regression approaches may in fact be a better method for estimating exposure, discuss the results from two studies in Scotland and consider how reconstructing historical air pollution environments may help with the understanding of aetiology of diseases in later life.

Subject choice in Scottish schools “discriminates” against poorer pupils

Extract:

PUPILS from Scotland's poorest backgrounds are being excluded from university because of subject choices at school, new research shows.

Academics found pupils from deprived backgrounds were more likely to drop key academic subjects which prevented them from applying to the most prestigious universities.

In contrast, figures from Ireland - where some subjects are compulsory - showed attempts to widen access to higher education were progressing more quickly than in Scotland.

Researchers went on to warn that the impact of Curriculum for Excellence (CfE), which has seen some schools reduce subjects, could exacerbate the problem...

Obesity and the potential reduction of social inequalities in mortality: evidence from 21 European populations

Abstract:

Background: Obesity contributes considerably to the problem of health inequalities in many countries, but quantitative estimates of this contribution and to what extent it is modifiable are scarce. We identify the potential for reducing educational inequalities in all-cause and obesity-related mortality in 21 European populations, by modifying educational differences in obesity and overweight. Methods: Prevalence data and mortality data come from 21 European populations. Mortality rate ratios come from literature reviews. We use the population attributable fraction (PAF) to estimate the impact of scenario-based changes in the social distribution of obesity on educational inequalities in mortality. Results: An elimination of differences in obesity between educational groups would decrease relative inequality in all-cause mortality between those with high and low education by up to 12% for men and 42% for women. About half of the relative inequality in mortality could be reduced for some causes of death in several countries, often in southern Europe. Absolute inequalities in all-cause mortality would be reduced by up to 69 (men) and 67 (women) deaths per 100 000 person-years. Conclusion: The potential reduction of health inequality by an elimination of social inequalities in obesity might be substantial. The reductions differ by country, cause of death and gender, suggesting that the priority given to obesity as an entry-point for tackling health inequalities should differ between countries and gender.

Abstract:

Social class inequalities in premature all-cause mortality are well documented in the UK. This study situates the analysis of three large cohort studies within Link and Phelan’s “fundamental cause” hypothesis and examines the social class differences in two aspects of avoidable mortality – preventable causes and causes amenable to medical intervention. Data come from the ONS (Office for National Statistics) Longitudinal Study for England and Wales baseline 1971 census; Scottish Longitudinal Study baseline 1991 census; and Northern Ireland Mortality Study baseline 2001. Death records are linked to census data and Cox regression models are used to estimate hazard ratios.

Abstract:

Background: Research in modern biomedicine and social science requires sample sizes so large that they can often only be achieved through a pooled co-analysis of data from several studies. But the pooling of information from individuals in a central database that may be queried by researchers raises important ethico-legal questions and can be controversial. In the UK this has been highlighted by recent debate and controversy relating to the UK’s proposed ‘care.data’ initiative, and these issues reflect important societal and professional concerns about privacy, confidentiality and intellectual property. DataSHIELD provides a novel technological solution that can circumvent some of the most basic challenges in facilitating the access of researchers and other healthcare professionals to individual-level data.

Methods: Commands are sent from a central analysis computer (AC) to several data computers (DCs) storing the data to be co-analysed. The data sets are analysed simultaneously but in parallel. The separate parallelized analyses are linked by non-disclosive summary statistics and commands transmitted back and forth between the DCs and the AC. This paper describes the technical implementation of DataSHIELD using a modified R statistical environment linked to an Opal database deployed behind the computer firewall of each DC. Analysis is controlled through a standard R environment at the AC.

Results: Based on this Opal/R implementation, DataSHIELD is currently used by the Healthy Obese Project and the Environmental Core Project (BioSHaRE-EU) for the federated analysis of 10 data sets across eight European countries, and this illustrates the opportunities and challenges presented by the DataSHIELD approach.

Conclusions: DataSHIELD facilitates important research in settings where: (i) a co-analysis of individual-level data from several studies is scientifically necessary but governance restrictions prohibit the release or sharing of some of the required data, and/or render data access unacceptably slow; (ii) a research group (e.g. in a developing nation) is particularly vulnerable to loss of intellectual property—the researchers want to fully share the information held in their data with national and international collaborators, but do not wish to hand over the physical data themselves; and (iii) a data set is to be included in an individual-level co-analysis but the physical size of the data precludes direct transfer to a new site for analysis.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:
Socioeconomic inequalities in mortality are one of the greatest challenges for health policy in all European countries, but the potential for reducing these inequalities is unclear. We therefore quantified the impact of equalizing the distribution of six risk factors for mortality: smoking, overweight, lack of physical exercise, lack of social participation, low income, and economic inactivity.

METHODS:
We collected and harmonized data on mortality and risk factors by educational level for 21 European populations in the early 2000s. The impact of the risk factors on mortality in each educational group was determined using Population Attributable Fractions. We estimated the impact on inequalities in mortality of two scenarios: a theoretical upward levelling scenario in which inequalities in the risk factor were completely eliminated, and a more realistic best practice scenario, in which inequalities in the risk factor were reduced to those seen in the country with the smallest inequalities for that risk factor.

FINDINGS:
In general, upward levelling of inequalities in smoking, low income and economic inactivity hold the greatest potential for reducing inequalities in mortality. While the importance of low income is similar across Europe, smoking is more important in the North and East, and overweight in the South. On the basis of best practice scenarios the potential for reducing inequalities in mortality is often smaller, but still substantial in many countries for smoking and physical inactivity.

INTERPRETATION:
Theoretically, there is a great potential for reducing inequalities in mortality in most European countries, for example by equity-oriented tobacco control policies, income redistribution and employment policies. Although it is necessary to achieve substantial degrees of upward levelling to make a notable difference for inequalities in mortality, the existence of best practice countries with more favourable distributions for some of these risk factors suggests that this is feasible.

Abstract:

Background Lung and upper aero-digestive tract (UADT) cancer risk are associated with low socioeconomic circumstances and routinely measured using area socioeconomic indices. We investigated effect of country of birth, marital status, one area deprivation measure and individual socioeconomic variables (economic activity, education, occupational social class, car ownership, household tenure) on risk associated with lung, UADT and all cancer combined (excluding non melanoma skin cancer).

Methods We linked Scottish Longitudinal Study and Scottish Cancer Registry to follow 203,658 cohort members aged 15+ years from 1991–2006. Relative risks (RR) were calculated using Poisson regression models by sex offset for person-years of follow-up.

Results 21,832 first primary tumours (including 3,505 lung, 1,206 UADT) were diagnosed. Regardless of cancer, economically inactivity (versus activity) was associated with increased risk (male: RR 1.14, 95% CI 1.10–1.18; female: RR 1.06, 95% CI 1.02–1.11). For lung cancer, area deprivation remained significant after full adjustment suggesting the area deprivation cannot be fully explained by individual variables. No or non degree qualification (versus degree) was associated with increased lung risk; likewise for UADT risk (females only). Occupational social class associations were most pronounced and elevated for UADT risk. No car access (versus ownership) was associated with increased risk (excluding all cancer risk, males). Renting (versus home ownership) was associated with increased lung cancer risk, UADT cancer risk (males only) and all cancer risk (females only). Regardless of cancer group, elevated risk was associated with no education and living in deprived areas.

Conclusions Different and independent socioeconomic variables are inversely associated with different cancer risks in both sexes; no one socioeconomic variable captures all aspects of socioeconomic circumstances or life course. Association of multiple socioeconomic variables is likely to reflect the complexity and multifaceted nature of deprivation as well as the various roles of these dimensions over the life course.

Abstract:

Although higher education has been associated with lower mortality rates in many studies, the effect of potential improvements in educational distribution on future mortality levels is unknown. We therefore estimated the impact of projected increases in higher education on mortality in European populations. We used mortality and population data according to educational level from 21 European populations and developed counterfactual scenarios. The first scenario represented the improvement in the future distribution of educational attainment as expected on the basis of an assumption of cohort replacement. We estimated the effect of this counterfactual scenario on mortality with a 10–15-year time horizon among men and women aged 30–79 years using a specially developed tool based on population attributable fractions (PAF). We compared this with a second, upward levelling scenario in which everyone has obtained tertiary education. The reduction of mortality in the cohort replacement scenario ranged from 1.9 to 10.1% for men and from 1.7 to 9.0% for women. The reduction of mortality in the upward levelling scenario ranged from 22.0 to 57.0% for men and from 9.6 to 50.0% for women. The cohort replacement scenario was estimated to achieve only part (4–25% (men) and 10–31% (women)) of the potential mortality decrease seen in the upward levelling scenario. We concluded that the effect of on-going improvements in educational attainment on average mortality in the population differs across Europe, and can be substantial. Further investments in education may have important positive side-effects on population health.

Abstract:

We describe results on the creation and use of synthetic data that were derived in the context of a project to make synthetic extracts available for users of the UK Longitudinal Studies. Contrary to the existing literature we show that there are circumstances when inferences can be made from fully synthetic data generated from fitted parameters without sampling from their posterior distributions (simple synthesis). The condition that allows this, which we describe as "common-sampling", is that the original sample and the synthetic data can be considered as sampled in the same way from their respective populations. New variance estimators for the analysis of synthetic data are derived when the common-sampling condition is met. It is shown that simple synthesis, with these estimators, provide better estimates than the methods suggested in the literature for fully synthetic data. The results are confirmed by simulations and are illustrated with an example from the Scottish Longitudinal Study.

Abstract:

In the past decades, the proportion of older households in Scotland has increased. At the same time, social and economic changes have prompted greater diversity in individual life courses and housing careers. This paper investigates the housing consumption of older individuals and couples, and the extent to which this is adjusted in response to changes in household composition. In particular, it examines who is and who is not downsizing and whether moves to smaller housing units have increased since the economic downturn of 2008. Data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study are used to examine the housing adjustments of older adults who change residential address between censuses, as well as the characteristics of those who do not move. Repeated cross-sectional analyses compare two decades (1991-2001 and 2001-2011) to observe decadal changes in residential mobility and immobility, and whether housing adjustment – especially downsizing – has become more or less common. The samples consist of older adults aged 55-69 at the beginning of each decade. Covariates includes individual socio-economic characteristics and housing characteristics at the beginning of the decade and changes in health, work and family composition across the decade. Preliminary findings indicate significant differences by socio-economic status in the likelihood of a residential move and in the direction of housing adjustment, with some older individuals upsizing while others downsize. Changes in individual and family conditions across the decade also play an important role.

Introduction:

  • Men with cancer suffer worse mortality and morbidity rates than women.
  • Men seek less help than women for health problems regardless of disease type, which can lead to poorer symptom awareness or slower medical advice seeking, late diagnoses (White, Thomson & Forman, 2009), not accessing support (Lee and Owens, 2002), and not making preventative lifestyle changes (Wilkins et al, 2008).
  • Psychological barriers, pressures around masculinity, and wider cultural norms may also contribute to less help seeking (Robertson, 2007).
  • Age, marital status, living alone, cancer type, geographical location, deprivation, and cancer trajectory seem to be important in a range of health-related domains (e.g., distress, psychological health, and practicing good health behaviours.

Aim:

Abstract:

Scotland has higher rates of mortality compared to the rest of the UK. Also premature mortality in Glasgow is 30% higher than in Liverpool and Manchester, with deaths at all ages around 15% higher. This excess is observed across almost all age groups, both males and females. In recent analyses reciprocity, trust, volunteering and religious affiliation including proxies for social capital of religious participation has been shown to be an important catalyst for social connectivity among some populations, and has been shown to be associated with lower mortality. This research combines the ONS Longitudinal Study of England and Wales with the Scottish Longitudinal Study to examine whether levels of ‘excess’ mortality in Scotland (compared to E&W) and Glasgow (compared to Liverpool/Manchester) are modified by the existence of social supports in peoples lives such as through practicing religion and living arrangements. We look at all-cause mortality by various age ranges including all age and 35 to 74. Poisson regressions are used along with a pioneering application of eDataSHIELD to undertake analysis on two restricted access datasets. The findings show that indicators of social support moderate mortality but that mortality in Scotland remains above that of England and Wales.

Abstract:

Young people who are not in employment, education or training (NEET) have drawn consistent attention from policy makers in the last decades. A spell of NEET experiences may impact on socioeconomic and health outcomes in later life. Theoretically there have been debates on the consequences of NEET experiences and so far a number of empirical studies have yielded mixed results. This paper aims to investigate whether experiences of being NEET have long term adverse effects on health outcomes in the Scottish context between 1991 and 2011. We used the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS), which is a 5.3% representative sample of the Scottish population. We followed young people who were aged 16-19 in 1991 to 2001 and then to 2011 when they were aged 26-29 and 36-39 respectively. We explored whether young people who had NEET experiences in 1991 displayed higher risks of poor physical and mental health ten and twenty years later. The outcomes include the self-reported from the censuses and objective ones from NHS patient records such as hospitalisation and prescription. We used descriptive and modelling approaches in our analysis. Covariates include a number of individual socioeconomic characteristics and local area characteristics in the models. Our research found that the NEET status in 1991 appears to be associated with negative health outcomes in 2001 and 2011. However the association varies with outcomes and by gender.

Abstract:

Most studies investigating residential segregation of ethnic minorities ignore the fact that the majority of adults live in couples. In recent years there has been a growth in the number of mixed-ethnic unions that involve a minority member and a white member. To our knowledge, hardly any research has been undertaken to explicitly examine whether the ethnic mix within households has an impact on the residential mobility of households in terms of the ethnic mix of destination neighbourhoods. Our study addresses this research gap and examines the tendencies of mobility among mixed- ethnic unions in comparison with their co-ethnic peers. We used data from the Longitudinal Study for England and Wales. Our statistical analysis supports the spatial assimilation theory; ethnic minorities move towards less deprived areas and to a lesser extent also towards less ethnically concentrated areas. However, the types of destination neighbourhood of minority people living in mixed-ethnic unions varied greatly with the ethnicity of the ethnic minority partner.

Population ageing and healthcare expenditure projections: new evidence from a time to death approach

Abstract:

Background
Health care expenditure (HCE) is not distributed evenly over a person’s life course. How much is spent on the elderly is important as they are a population group that is increasing in size. However other factors, such as death-related costs that are known to be high, need be considered as well in any expenditure projections and budget planning decisions.

Objective
This article analyses, for the first time in Scotland, how expenditure projections for acute inpatient care are influenced when applying two different analytical approaches: (1) accounting for healthcare (HC) spending at the end of life and (2) accounting for demographic changes only. The association between socioeconomic status and HC utilisation and costs at the end of life is also estimated.

Methods
A representative, longitudinal data set is used. Survival analysis is employed to allow inclusion of surviving sample members. Cost estimates are derived from a two-part regression model. Future population estimates were obtained for both methods and multiplied separately by cost estimates.

Results
Time to death (TTD), age at death and the interaction between these two have a significant effect on HC costs. As individuals approach death, those living in more deprived areas are less likely to be hospitalised than those individuals living in the more affluent areas, although this does not translate into incurring statistically significant higher costs. Projected HCE for acute inpatient care for the year 2028 was approximately 7 % higher under the demographic approach as compared to a TTD approach.

Conclusion
The analysis showed that if death is postponed into older ages, HCE (and HC budgets) would not increase to the same extent if these factors were ignored. Such factors would be ignored if the population that is in their last year(s) of life were not taken into consideration when obtaining cost estimates.

Transitions to Independent Living among Young Adults in Scotland in the Late 20th Century

Fiori, F., Graham, E. & Feng, Z. (2014) First Annual International Conference on Demography and Population Studies, Athens, Greece, 16 - 19 June 2014 [SLS]

Abstract:

The past few decades have seen significant demographic, social and economic changes that have resulted in increased diversity across individual life courses and housing careers. Youth transitions to economic and residential independence, as well as to family formation, have increasingly become “late, protracted and complex” (Billari & Liefbroer, 2010). Although men and women have become more alike in how they move into adult roles (Furstenberg, 2010, p.72), women still leave home earlier than men.

The ‘extended’ transition to adulthood in Western Europe has been widely researched, but Scotland has rarely been the focus of empirical investigation. Scotland has a different socio-demographic profile and housing market to the rest of the UK, and the extent to which it shares common trends in transitions to adulthood is unclear. This paper therefore examines living arrangements for young Scots in the late 20th century. Of particular interest are the determinants of young adults’ transitions towards independent living and whether trajectories out of parental home are gendered. Data come from the Scottish Longitudinal Study (1991-2001). The sample consists of young adults aged 16-29 living with their parents at the beginning of the decade. Multinomial regression models are estimated to investigate the determinants of living arrangements 10 years later. The dependent variable contrasts living in the parental home with: a) living with others, b) living alone, c) living in a new family. Individual socio-economic characteristics, parental characteristics and urban/rural location are included as covariates. Findings show that women are more likely than men to leave the parental home. Individual characteristics have a similar effect on both genders, whereas men and women respond differently to the influence of their family and geographical context of origin. The paper concludes with a brief comparison of findings for Scotland with those for other parts of Britain.

Census and administrative microdata linkage in the UK, the USA, and Canada: prospects, problems and solutions?

Session description:

The availability to researchers of individual-level linked Census and administrative data in the UK and the USA looks set to increase. In the UK, there are already well-established longitudinal studies in England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland based on the linkage of Census and administrative data. Moreover, it is highly likely that linked non-Census administrative data will also grow in importance. It is, for example, probable that the national statistical agencies of the UK will in future make much more use of linked non-Census administrative data to count the population and that these data will also become more open to academic researchers and policymakers via an ESRC large-scale investment in Administrative Data Research Centres. In the USA, there is a series of Census Research Data Centers whilst in Canada there is a Research Data Centres network. The availability of linked data offers opportunities since it allows researchers to ask and to answer new questions. However, it also poses challenges. These include building the capacity to deal with large-scale complex datasets, understanding the nature and accuracy of non-Census administrative data, and working in ways that guarantee the security of these often highly sensitive and confidential datasets. This session seeks to discuss and to explore these and similar issues by bringing together UK and North American users of linked data, and also those involved in providing access to the data. The aim is to share experiences cross-nationally, and to evaluate the current situation and future prospects for data linkage in the UK and North America.

Abstract:

In many contexts, confidentiality constraints severely restrict access to unique and valuable microdata. The UK Longitudinal Studies linking census and other health and administrative data for individuals and their immediate families across several decades provide a good example which also motivated this study. In order to allow academics and other users to carry out their research more freely, synthetic version of a bespoke data set can be generated and provided to users with fewer access restrictions. Synthetic data mimic the real data and preserve the relationships between variables and transitions over time, but they do not include any real individuals. The basic idea of data synthesis is to replace genuine data with values sampled from conditional probability distributions. We develop a sequential algorithm for producing synthetic data set and implement it in R software (freely available R package called ‘synthpop’). The users have a choice between different parametric and non-parametric synthesising models. The latter includes classification and regression trees (CART) models. As a validation of the method we compare statistical inference based on real and synthetic data for research projects using the SLS data (including 2011 Census data). In addition, we compare the relative performance of parametric and non-parametric synthesising models.

Occupational Class Inequalities in All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality among Middle-Aged Men in 14 European Populations during the Early 2000s

Abstract:

This study analyses occupational class inequalities in all-cause mortality and four specific causes of death among men, in Europe in the early 2000s, and is the most extensive comparative analysis of occupational class inequalities in mortality in Europe so far. Longitudinal data, obtained from population censuses and mortality registries in 14 European populations, from around the period 2000–2005, were used. Analyses concerned men aged 30–59 years and included all-cause mortality and mortality from all cancers, all cardiovascular diseases (CVD), all external, and all other causes. Occupational class was analysed according to five categories: upper and lower non-manual workers, skilled and unskilled manual workers, and farmers and self-employed combined. Inequalities were quantified with mortality rate ratios, rate differences, and population attributable fractions (PAF). Relative and absolute inequalities in all-cause mortality were more pronounced in Finland, Denmark, France, and Lithuania than in other populations, and the same countries (except France) also had the highest PAF values for all-cause mortality. The main contributing causes to these larger inequalities differed strongly between countries (e.g., cancer in France, all other causes in Denmark). Relative and absolute inequalities in CVD mortality were markedly lower in Southern European populations. We conclude that relative and absolute occupational class differences in all-cause and cause specific mortality have persisted into the early 2000's, although the magnitude differs strongly between populations. Comparisons with previous studies suggest that the relative gap in mortality between occupational classes has further widened in some Northern and Western European populations.

Abstract:

This poster will introduce the SLS and the datasets, the application process for researchers interested in using the SLS and outline research examples.

The Longitudinal Studies Centre – Scotland (LSCS) was established in 2001 and hosts the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS). This study links together routinely collected administrative data for a 5.3% representative sample of the Scottish population (about 270,000 people). It currently includes a wealth of information from the censuses starting in 1991, vital events registrations (births, deaths and marriages), Scottish education data, and with appropriate permissions can be linked to NHS health data including cancer registry and hospital admission data.

The size and scope of the SLS make it an unparalleled resource in Scotland for analysing a range of socio-economic, demographic and health questions. Additionally, the longitudinal nature of the SLS is particularly valuable, allowing an exploration of causality in a way that cross-sectional data collected at a single point in time does not. In this way, the SLS can provide insights into the health and social status of the Scottish population and, crucially, how it changes over time.

The 2014 BSPS conference presents a timely opportunity to highlight new data that will be available as a result of the inclusion of the 2011 Census data and will help researchers decide whether the SLS is an appropriate resource for their research.

Abstract:

Introduction: Smoking is an important determinant of socioeconomic inequalities in mortality in many countries. As the smoking epidemic progresses, updates on the development of mortality inequalities attributable to smoking are needed. We provide estimates of relative and absolute educational inequalities in mortality from lung cancer, aerodigestive cancers, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)/asthma in Europe and assess the contribution of these smoking-related diseases to inequalities in all-cause mortality.

Methods: We use data from 18 European populations covering the time period 1998–2007. We present age-adjusted mortality rates, relative indices of inequality, and slope indices of inequality. We also calculate the contribution of inequalities in smoking-related mortality to inequalities in overall mortality.

Results: Among men, relative inequalities in mortality from the 3 smoking-related causes of death combined are largest in the Czech Republic and Hungary and smallest in Spain, Sweden, and Denmark. Among women, these inequalities are largest in Scotland and Norway and smallest in Italy and Spain. They are often larger among men and tend to be larger for COPD/asthma than for lung and aerodigestive cancers. Relative inequalities in mortality from these conditions are often larger in younger age groups, particularly among women, suggesting a possible further widening of inequalities in mortality in the coming decades. The combined contribution of these diseases to inequality in all-cause mortality varies between 13% and 32% among men and between −5% and 30% among women.

Conclusion: Our results underline the continuing need for tobacco control policies, which take into account socioeconomic position.

Abstract:

Young people who are not in employment, education or training (NEET) are a disadvantaged group and their experiences may have an adverse effect on later life. Therefore the NEET phenomenon has drawn considerable attention from academic researchers and policy makers in Britain and other countries. However, there have been theoretical arguments on the social and health consequences of the NEET experiences. So far, few studies have investigated the effect of NEET experiences on health and the limited empirical research has yielded mixed results. This paper aims to investigate whether experiences of being NEET have adverse effects on health in the Scottish context, where the prevalence of NEETs is persistently high in comparison with other parts of Britain. We used the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS), a 5.3% representative sample of the Scottish population linking together census records, vital registrations and patient records. We followed young people who were aged 16-19 in 1991 for 19 years up to 2010. We used descriptive and modelling approaches in our analysis. We focus on three health outcomes: limiting long term illness, hospitalisation, depression and anxiety, which are separately derived from the census, Scottish Morbidity Records, and prescribing information system. In the study we control for a number of individual and household variables from the 1991 and 2001 censuses. This research contributes to the literature on effects of lifecourse events on later health outcomes and has considerable policy implications.

Understanding the impact of fertility history on outcomes in mid-life in Scotland, a longitudinal approach using the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS)

Abstract:

This study is part of the research programme involving data linkage within the Scottish Health Informatics Programme (SHIP). The research draws on and extends work on reproductive histories and life outcomes. Previous studies have shown that the number of children (parity) can be linked to specific health outcomes in mid and later life for women (references can be provided). We aim to extend this research specifically for Scotland based on Scottish data, namely the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) linked to health data from the NHS Scottish Morbidity Record (SMR) datasets, including the maternity dataset SMR02 (as parity is only recorded for married women at birth registration in Scotland).

The aim of this SHIP project, involving data linkage and health outcomes, is to gain a full understanding of the impact of both fertility histories and childlessness on health outcomes and mortality. In addition, we plan to compare findings with previous research where applicable. This research is only for specific female SLS birth cohorts, as it is acknowledged that we are not able to follow-up all SLS members or SLS members to old ages since the SMR02 is only available from 1975. Nevertheless, the SLS allows follow-up of the specific SLS birth cohorts from the 1991 Census until 2009 (the most recent year death data is available linked to the SLS). From preliminary modelling, in line with previous research, we find high birth parity to be an important factor in relation to mortality.

Extract:

Linking disease risk associated with health behaviours to deprivation can assist in targeting interventions and addressing health inequalities. Relevant data sets available in Scotland are the Scottish Health Survey (SHeS) and the Scottish Longitudinal Survey (SLS), administratively linked to Scottish Morbidity Records (SMR). The SHeS includes self reported health behaviours, but is potentially limited by small numbers when it comes to investigating specific diseases. The SLS has large numbers but does not contain individual health behaviour data. However, small area estimates of smoking probabilities have been developed. This study was a novel attempt to demonstrate the potential of such area based statistics by comparing results from separate analyses of the two data sets.

Abstract:

A growing number of studies have reported a relationship between ambient air pollution and adverse birth outcomes. In this paper we examine the association between fetal development, prematurity and ambient background concentrations of sulphur dioxide (SO2), particulates up to 10μm in diameter (PM10) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) at the mother’s area of residence and place of work. We linked data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study (5% sample of the Scottish census in 1991 linked to 2001 census records) to maternity data from the Scottish morbidity record to identify a sample of singleton live births across Scotland. Modelled pollution data at a 1x1 km spatial resolution was obtained for the years 1994 to 2008 and linked to the census and birth records via the mothers residential and workplace postcode using a geographical information system. The association between pollution and mean birthweight, low birthweight < 2500g, small for gestational age, and prematurity was estimated adjusting for known confounders including ethnicity and smoking. The findings from the study will be presented and discussed together with a number of methodological matters arising from the study.

Abstract:

Background: Objectives were to examine relationships between social support, distress, lifestyle behaviours and desire for help, in men with cancer. Methods: A cross-sectional research study recruited men aged 18 and over with any cancer diagnosis (N = 127) through the health service and cancer charities. The questionnaire assessed social support (Social Provisions Scale), distress (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Distress Thermometer), health behaviours - smoking, alcohol, diet, exercise - and desire for support. Findings: Men reporting lower social support experienced higher distress, leading to a greater desire for help to improve lifestyle. Latent variable path analysis modelling confirmed that distress mediated the relationship between social support and desire for help for these issues. Discussion: Those with higher distress coupled with lower levels of support may be more willing to seek help. Those engaging in risky health behaviours may require more targeted interventions to motivate them and reduce service-related barriers.

Extract:

In the past 30 years there have been major shifts in housing tenure in Scotland, resulting initially from housing regeneration as well as 1980 legislation enabling council tenants to buy their homes, and more recently a doubling of the proportion of households living in private rented housing.

Jan Freeke, a senior planning analyst working for Glasgow City Council, researched recent tenure change using data from the Census of population, the Scottish Household Survey and the Scottish Longitudinal Study to better understand the demographic factors underlying changes in demand.

Associations between small area crime rate and negative birth outcomes in Scotland

Other information:
Abstract:

Negative birth outcomes, which are important determinants of future child development, have been shown to be associated with both social and environmental characteristics of the mother’s area of residence. Air pollution has been identified as a key environmental factor but neighbourhood social stressors such as the prevalence of crime have remained relatively understudied. An important question is the extent to which area based characteristics exert an influence on birth outcomes independently of the individual socio-economic circumstances of the mother. This study examines the effect of small area crime rates in the mother’s place of residence for a number of birth outcomes (fetal development and risk of prematurity) with adjustment for a range of individual maternal characteristics including smoking. A sample of women was drawn from the nationally representative Scottish Longitudinal Study and births to these women (between 1994 and 2008) were identified through record linkage to maternity hospital admissions data. Maternal exposure to crime was estimated from the crime domain of the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) at small area level (datazones). The association between crime rates and birth outcomes was estimated from multilevel linear and generalised linear models. The preliminary findings, generally, indicate a significant relationship between levels of recorded crime at the mother’s place of residence and negative birth outcomes which remain significant after adjustment for a range of important individual confounding effects. These findings add to the growing body of evidence highlighting the independent association between local area characteristics and negative birth outcomes.

Geographies and ecological variables in the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS)

Other information:
Abstract:

The Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) is a large scale linkage study created from the linkage of data from routine administrative and statistical sources. These include Census data, vital events data (births, deaths, marriages), National Health Service Central Register (NHSCR) data (migration in or out of Scotland), NHS data (cancer registrations and hospital discharges), and education data (Hattersley & Boyle 2007; Boyle et al. 2009).

Geographical data are an integrated part of the SLS. All SLS data are coded onto a number of different geographies, including census, health and other administrative areas, at a range of spatial scales. These geographies relate to the geography existing at the time of the census, or the occurrence of a demographic event (e.g. birth). Geographies and ecological variables are essential not only for research on migration, but also for research on impacts of environmental and socio-economic contexts on individuals’ well-being. This working paper will introduce geographical data including geographical identifiers and ecological variables in the SLS.

Abstract:

The increasing availability of digitised registration records presents a significant opportunity for research. Returning to the original records allows researchers to classify descriptions, such as cause of death, to modern medical understandings of illness and disease, rather than relying on contemporary registrars’ classifications. Linkage of an individual’s records together also allows the production of sparse life-course micro-datasets. The further linkage of these into family units then presents the possibility of reconstructing family structures and producing multi-generational studies. We describe work to develop a method for automatically coding to standard classifications the causes of death from 8.3 million Scottish death certificates. We have evaluated a range of approaches using text processing and supervised machine learning, obtaining accuracy from 72%-96% on several test sets. We present results and speculate on further development that may be needed for classification of the full data set.

Abstract:

The high proportion of young people who are not in employment, education or training (NEET) is considered a serious social problem and has drawn considerable attention from academic researchers and policy makers in Britain. Being left out of employment or education at a young age may have long lasting effects in later life. However, there have been theoretical debates on the consequences of the NEET experiences, and so far empirical studies have yielded mixed results. This paper aims to investigate whether experiences of being NEET have adverse effects on later life chances in the Scottish context, where the prevalence of NEETs is persistently high in comparison with other parts of Britain. We used the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS), which is a 5.3% representative sample of the Scottish population We followed young people who were aged 16-19 in 1991 to 2001 when they were aged 26-29. Our outcome variables are economic activities, limiting long term illness and lone parent status. We used descriptive and modelling approaches in our analysis. Our research found that in 1991 NEETs were more likely to be of older (within the 16 to 19 age range), female, with lower qualifications, and to report limiting long illness. The NEET status in 1991 appears to be associated with negative social and health outcomes in 2001 but the strength of association varies with the type of outcome.

Socio-economic costs of bereavement in Scotland

Executive Summary:

The Socio-Economic Costs of Bereavement in Scotland (SECOB) research study was funded by the Scottish Government Health Directorates in late 2010 as part of ongoing work to inform national policy on bereavement and bereavement care practice. The project aimed to: a) articulate the likely nature and scope of the impact of bereavement on social and economic aspects of life for Scottish citizens as evidenced in relevant literature; b) seek to estimate the socio-economic costs of bereavement in an emergent sub-set of key aspects, and c) develop methodological approaches that will enhance capacity for large-scale research into the socio-economic impact of bereavement.

Literature scoping and review identified a range of relevant areas of potential impact, and an analytical model was devised to help understand their potential relationships. New research was undertaken to explore impacts in more depth in the areas of health, income and employment. Analysis of data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study found that spousal bereavement is associated not only with increased mortality but also with longer hospital stays. Our research indicates that this increase in hospital stay is a hidden and latent impact of bereavement which translates into a recurring additional annual cost for NHS Scotland of around £20 million. The cost of consultations in primary care that are specifically labelled as bereavement-related was estimated to be around £2.2 million annually. However, we suggest that this is likely to be a considerable under-estimation that recognises only the tip of the iceberg. Findings from the British Household Panel Survey, a UK wide dataset, showed that the bereaved were significantly less likely to be employed in the year of bereavement, and two years after. However, the BHPS data also showed no significant differences in income between the bereaved and matched controls in the 10 years pre and post bereavement. Through use of innovative methods, the study has yielded useful insights into some of the socio-economic impacts of bereavement in Scotland, but more research is clearly needed to obtain more comprehensive understandings.

Other information: Towards the end of the last decade, Councils in the Glasgow conurbation faced a new situation, as the rate of housing tenure change had changed considerably since around 2000. Glasgow City Council undertook a review of social tenure change over the period 1991-2006 as a basis for understanding these changes and predicting likely future patterns. Data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study and from the Scottish Household Survey enabled their researchers to explore the effects of demographics on tenure flows, and revealed the effects of affordability on the flow from social renting to owner occupation, particularly for young people and those in social rented housing. These results fed into the research evidence base for key local strategic housing policies for Glasgow and the Clyde Valley.

Abstract:

The England and Wales Longitudinal Study (LS), Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) and Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study (NILS) are incredibly rich micro-datasets linking census and other health and administrative data (births, deaths, marriages, cancer registrations) for individuals and their immediate families across several decades. Whilst unique and valuable resources, the sensitive nature of the information they contain means that access to the microdata is restricted, limiting the user base. The SYLLS project will develop synthetic data which mimics the real longitudinal data but crucially will not be subject to the same access restrictions as the national LSs. In this paper we will introduce two different but complementary methods that we will be adopting to generate the synthetic data – microsimulation and multiple imputation. Microsimulation will be used to generate a synthetic LS ‘spine’, mimicking the full population of individuals in the LSs but for a limited set of core variables, transitioning between 1991 and 2001. Multiple Imputation will be used to generate bespoke synthetic data extracts which match precisely the requirements of individual research projects. This paper will report on the methodological progress to date, issues and prospects for the new synthetic datasets.

Area and individual socioeconomic factors and cancer risk: a population cohort study in Scotland

Abstract:

Background: Socioeconomic inequalities in cancer risk differ by tumour site, age and sex. Lung and upper aero-digestive tract (UADT) cancer risk contribute 90% (males) and 81% (females) to cancer risk social inequalities in Scotland and are associated with low socioeconomic circumstances. We investigate the relative association with cancer risk of country of birth, marital status, area deprivation and individual socioeconomic variables (economic activity, education level, occupational social class, car ownership, housing tenure) for lung, UADT and all cancer risk (excluding non melanoma skin cancer).

Methods: We linked Scottish Longitudinal Study, vital event registries and Scottish Cancer Registry data and followed 203 658 cohort members aged 15+ years from 1991- 2006. We calculated relative risks and 95% confidence intervals using fully adjusted Poisson regression models for each sex offset by person-years of follow-up.

Results: 21 832 first primary tumours, including 3 505 lung and 1 206 UADT tumours were diagnosed corresponding to 3.05 million person- years of follow-up. For females, car ownership and housing tenure were more strongly associated with increased risk. For males unemployment was consistently associated with increased cancer risk (except lung), while education was not associated with increased risk. For lung cancer, area deprivation remained significant even after adjustment for individual variables in both sexes, suggesting the area affect can not be fully explained by individual socioeconomic circumstances. Finally, being born in Scotland, divorced or widowed was associated with increased risk regardless of sex.

Conclusion: Different and independent socioeconomic variables are associated with different cancer risks in different sexes.

Other information: Poster presentation.
Abstract:

The poster will introduce the SLS and the datasets, the application process for researchers interested in using the SLS and outline research examples. The Longitudinal Studies Centre – The size and scope of the SLS make it an unparalleled resource in Scotland for analysing a range of socio- economic, demographic and health questions. Additionally, the longitudinal nature of the SLS is particularly valuable, allowing an exploration of causality in a way that cross-sectional data collected at a single point in time does not. In this way, the SLS can provide insights into the health and social status of the Scottish population and, crucially, how it changes over time. Scotland (LSCS) was established in 2001 and hosts the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS). This study links together routinely collected administrative data for a 5.3% representative sample of the Scottish population (about 270,000 people). It currently includes a wealth of information from the censuses starting in 1991, vital events registrations (births, deaths and marriages), Scottish education data, and with appropriate permissions can be linked to NHS health data including cancer registry and hospital admission data.

Other information: Poster presentation.
Abstract:

The Census & Administrative data LongitudinaL Studies Hub (CALLS Hub) has been commissioned by the ESRC to co-ordinate, harmonise and promote the work of the three LS Research Support Units (CeLSIUS, NILS-RSU, SLS-DSU), with the aim of providing a more streamlined experience for users. The three UK census Longitudinal Studies provide a unique and powerful research resource for a range of academic disciplines. They also form a powerful source of research evidence for policy-makers, practitioners and third sector bodies.

CALLS Hub exists to help researchers find the information and resources they need in a straightforward way, and to promote the work and impact of the RSU’s to a wider audience. By bringing together the three studies, we can also highlight the potential benefits and possibilities of using more than one LS, either to allow regional comparisons or to build a national population.

The aims of CALLS Hub are:

  • To enhance the research potential of the LSs by co-ordinating the development of new resources and methodologies.
  • To enhance and streamline the user experience of obtaining information about the LSs and applying to use them for research.
  • To increase academic impact by developing communication strategies to raise awareness of the LSs, promoting their outputs and facilitating their impact strategies.
  • To increase the economic and societal impact of the LSs by working together with key external stakeholders to develop research projects meeting their evidence needs.
  • To facilitate and encourage the use of multiple LSs for UK-wide research.

Smoking and the potential for reduction of inequalities in mortality in Europe

Abstract:

Socioeconomic inequalities in health and mortality remain a widely recognized problem. Countries with smaller inequalities in smoking have smaller inequalities in mortality, and smoking plays an important part in the explanation of inequalities in some countries. We identify the potential for reducing inequalities in all-cause and smoking-related mortality in 19 European populations, by applying different scenarios of smoking exposure. Smoking prevalence information and mortality data come from 19 European populations. Prevalence rates are mostly taken from National Health Surveys conducted around the year 2000. Mortality rates are based on country-specific longitudinal or cross-sectional datasets. Relative risks come from the Cancer Prevention Study II. Besides all-cause mortality we analyze several smoking-related cancers and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease/asthma. We use a newly-developed tool to quantify the changes in population health potentially resulting from modifying the population distribution of exposure to smoking. This tool is based on the epidemiological measure of the population attributable fraction, and estimates the impact of scenario-based distributions of smoking on educational inequalities in mortality. The potential reduction of relative inequality in all-cause mortality between those with high and low education amounts up to 26 % for men and 32 % for women. More than half of the relative inequality may be reduced for some causes of death, often in countries of Northern Europe and in Britain. Patterns of potential reduction in inequality differ by country or region and sex, suggesting that the priority given to smoking as an entry-point for tackling health inequalities should differ between countries.

Occupational Mobility and Living in Deprived Neighbourhoods: Housing Tenure Differences in ‘Neighbourhood Effects’

van Ham, M. & Manley, D. (2013) IZA Discussion Paper 7815, IZA Institute for the Study of Labor. 1 December 2013. [SLS]

Other information:
Abstract:

The literature on neighbourhood effects suggests that the lack of social mobility of some groups has a spatial dimension. It is thought that those living in the most deprived neighbourhoods are the least likely to achieve upward mobility because of a range of negative neighbourhood effects. Most studies investigating such effects only identify correlations between individual outcomes and their residential environment and do not take into account that selection into neighbourhoods is a non-random mechanism. This paper investigates occupational mobility between 1991 and 2001 for those who were employed in Scotland in 1991 by using unique longitudinal data from Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS). We add to the existing literature by investigating neighbourhood effects on occupational mobility separately for social renters, private renters and home owners. We find that ‘neighbourhood effects’ are strongest for home owners, which is an unexpected finding. We argue that the correlation between characteristics of the residential environment and occupational mobility can be explained by selection effects: homeowners with the least resources, who are least likely to experience upward mobility, are also most likely to sort into the most deprived neighbourhoods. Social housing tenants experience less selective sorting across neighbourhoods as other than market forces are responsible for the neighbourhood sorting mechanism.

Population ageing: the timebomb that isn’t?

Spijker, J. & MacInnes, J. (2013) BMJ, 347 (6598), [SLS]

Extract:

Population ageing is a concern in all developed countries. For the first time, there are now more people over the age of 65 in the United Kingdom than there are children under 15 years. Over the past century, the proportion of over 65s has grown from about one in 20 to around one in six. Although declining birth rates and infant mortality formed the basis for this growth from the end of the 19th century until the second world war, since the 1970s increasing life expectancy has been an additional driving force. This population ageing has worried policy makers because for every worker paying tax and national insurance there are more older citizens, who make greater demands on social insurance, health, and welfare systems and have increasing morbidity and disability.

The standard indicator of population ageing is the old age dependency ratio. It takes the number of people who have reached the state pension age and divides it by the number of working age (16-64 years) adults in order to estimate the proportion of older people relative to those who pay for them. Although the phased raising of the state pension age (from 65 for men and 60 for women) to 68 for both sexes, which will keep 3.5 million people in the working age, will initially cause the ratio to decline from today’s 31% in England and Wales, by 2035 it will have risen to 37%.

However, the old age dependency ratio is a poor measure of the burden of an ageing population. It counts neither the number of dependent older people nor the number who sustain them. It merely takes a cut-off point (the state pension age) and assigns adults to the two sides of the ratio accordingly. This might be a useful rule of thumb if the relative size of these two age groups tracked the volume of old age dependency, but it does not. We propose an alternative measure that gives a more accurate and very different picture and consider the implications of our results for health policy.

How spatial segregation changes over time: sorting out the sorting processes

Abstract:

Although there is strong evidence that segregation on socioeconomic lines has risen in many countries over the last few decades, comparatively little is known about the processes by which this happens. While it is often assumed that selective migration is the dominant process, this has rarely been demonstrated. This paper proposes a more comprehensive framework to analyse processes driving changes in segregation—a ‘neighbourhood accounts’ framework. The framework is tested using data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study for 1991 – 2001, focusing on the working-age population. Contrary to what many have assumed, selective migration is shown to have only a very weak impact on changes in spatial segregation, and is certainly not the dominant factor—at least in this particular context. The effects of ageing or cohort replacement and of uneven rates of status change or social mobility appear much more important. This raises important issues for policies to tackle segregation.

Abstract:

Deprived and declining areas in Scotland have poorer health than other areas in the rest of Scotland. Using data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study, this paper examines whether differential migration over a one year period can explain these differences. Compared with migrants to and from deprived and declining areas, stable residents in those areas were generally older, less well educated and less affluent. Continued disproportionate loss of more affluent and better educated individuals could result in deprived and declining areas becoming even more deprived over time. Migrants appeared to be in better health; however, this finding was reversed on adjustment for age. It may be that while the relationship between migration and socio-economic status is immediately apparent, the relationship between migration and health could take longer to develop.

Occupational inequalities in cause-specific and all-cause mortality in European men

Introduction:

In the last decades life expectancy has shown a remarkable - almost linear - increase (Oeppen and Vaupel, 2002). However, substantial differences in mortality are still observed and may even be increasing between socioeconomic groups (Davey Smith et al., 2002; Donkin et al., 2002; Leclerc et al., 2006; Mackenbach et al., 2003). Those inequalities are one of the biggest challenges of societies (Marmot, 2005). Further, they differ considerably between European populations. Such inequalities are unfair, unnecessary and avoidable. Cross country comparisons can help identify the scope for reduction. Europe is a unique region in this respect, as inter country population characteristics as well as history and development between countries differ, and highly reliable and comparable data on mortality and socioeconomic position are available in the majority of the countries. Previous research though, focussed mainly on educational inequalities. Fewer articles analysed occupational class inequalities (Kunst et al., 1998; Mackenbach et al., 1997; Mackenbach et al., 2008) and most analyses here focus on occupational inequalities in the 1980s and 1990s. The aim of this study is to analyse for the first time occupational class inequalities in all-cause mortality and mortality due to several causes of death in Europe at the start of the new millennium. This study – as a part of the Euro-GBD-SE project – contributes to the aim of tackling inequalities in Europe, as it analyses mortality inequalities by occupational class with recent, comprehensive and comparable data from 14 European countries. We present results for all cause mortality, all cancers, all CVD, all external and all other.

Abstract:

This article explores the contested issue of whether sectarianism divides Catholics and Protestants in Scotland. The conclusions are based on an analysis of 111,627 couples from the 2001 Census. The proportions with no religious upbringing and currently belonging to no religion decrease steeply with year of birth for the members of couples. This is largely due to a decline in the Protestant group, while the proportion of Catholics remains fairly stable with year of birth. For the oldest cohort those with a Catholic upbringing are disadvantaged compared to Protestants, in terms of educational qualifications and membership of the professional classes, but this difference has eroded so that there are few differences at the youngest ages. Those with no religious upbringing are disadvantaged on these measures at all ages. Catholics are more likely than Protestants to form couples outside their religious group, and this is not simply a consequence of their minority status, which would restrict the number of available partners. The trend towards secularism could be influenced by inter-sectarian coupling because those in mixed relationships are less likely to practise their religion of upbringing. The high proportion of inter-sectarian marriages may give rise to many Protestants in Scotland having practising Catholics among their extended families, and this should contribute to undermining sectarian divisions.

Migration, occupational mobility, and regional escalators in Scotland

Abstract:

This paper seeks to unpick the complex relationship between an individual’s migration behaviour, their place of residence, and their occupational performance in the Scottish labour market between 1991 and 2001. We investigate whether Edinburgh has emerged as an occupational escalator region and whether individuals moving there experience more rapid upward occupational mobility than those living and moving elsewhere. Using country of birth, we also control for an individual’s propensity to make long distance moves during earlier periods of their life course. Using data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study, linking 1991 and 2001 individual census records, and logistic regressions, we show that those who migrate over long distances within or to Scotland are most likely to achieve upward occupational mobility. We also found that Edinburgh is by far the most important regional escalator in Scotland; those moving to Edinburgh are the most likely to experience upward occupational mobility from low to high occupational status jobs. This is an important finding as most of the literature on escalator regions focuses on international mega cities.

Abstract:

This study is part of the research programme involving data linkage within the Scottish Health Informatics Programme (SHIP). The research draws on and extends work on reproductive histories and life outcomes. Previous studies have shown that the number of children (parity) can be linked to specific health outcomes in mid and later life for women (references can be provided). We aim to extend this research specifically for Scotland based on Scottish data, namely the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) linked to health data from the NHS Scottish Morbidity Record (SMR) datasets, including the maternity dataset SMR02 (as parity is only recorded for married women at birth registration in Scotland). The aim of this SHIP project, involving data linkage and health outcomes, is to gain a full understanding of the impact of both fertility histories and childlessness on health outcomes and mortality. In addition, we plan to compare findings with previous research where applicable. This research is only for specific female SLS birth cohorts, as it is acknowledged that we are not able to follow-up all SLS members or SLS members to old ages since the SMR02 is only available from 1975. Nevertheless, the SLS allows follow-up of the specific SLS birth cohorts from the 1991 Census until 2009 (the most recent year death data is available linked to the SLS). From preliminary modelling, in line with previous research, we find high birth parity to be an important factor in relation to mortality.

Extract:

Commonly, a lack of income information in the census is mitigated analytically through the use of proxy measures. Area based deprivation scores are the most common of these in which various domains of deprivation, obtained from the census, are aggregated to different spatial scales to give an indication of the characteristics of an area. Furthermore, other measures of socio-economic position such as occupational social class and education are often used to proxy some of the effect of material and financial circumstances. Though both measure independent components of socio-economic confounding (SEP) they may not capture entirely the health effects of income (Galobardes, Shaw et al. 2006). An alternative approach is to produce an estimated synthetic measure using regression modelling. However, whilst such a technique has been utilised for the production of aggregated area estimates of income (Williamson and Voas 2000), the potential for estimates generated at the individual scale, within the UK census, have yet to be investigated. The aim of this working paper is to investigate the usefulness of multilevel models based on Standard Occupation Classification (SOC) groups to estimate an occupational based wage measure in the census.

Abstract:

Background: Obtaining accurate and unbiased measurements of individual income in many surveys is difficult owing to the sensitive nature of the information. Studies that do collect income often report differential missing data or mis-measurement and may also impact on overall survey response rates. These concerns formed part of the reason to reject calls to include an income question in the latest UK census in 2011. Lack of income information is problematic in many sociodemographic studies of health and mortality owing to the importance of income as a determinant of, for example mental and self-assessed health as well as mortality. Aims: This paper investigates the potential utility of a synthetic occupation based estimate of wages. Methods The study uses the SOC2000 classification of occupation to derive a hierarchical mixed model using data from the labour force survey which is then validated using self-rated health data from the Scottish Health Survey (SHS) 2003 and wave one (2009) of the UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS). Findings: Our estimates compare favourably with the survey income measurements. This suggests that this approach could be used to account for income disparities in self-rated general health in those surveys where income is not directly measured including census based longitudinal studies.

Abstract:

The increasing proportion of ethnic minorities in Britain has been paralleled by an increase in the occurrence of mixed-ethnic marriages between one White partner and an ethnic minority partner. Such marriages are thought to be at higher risk of divorce, but empirical studies so far have been inconclusive. This paper uses the Office for National Statistics longitudinal study for England and Wales to investigate whether mixed-ethnic unions are more likely to end in divorce than co-ethnic unions. We followed married couples in 1991–2001 and examined their risks of divorce. We found evidence that mixed-ethnic unions have a higher risk of dissolution than co-ethnic unions. However, after controlling for partners’ characteristics, most importantly the younger ages of people in mixed-ethnic unions, the risk of divorce for mixed-ethnic unions was no longer elevated, but lay close to the higher risk found for the two constituent co-ethnic unions.

Abstract:

Evidence on the contribution of risk factors to health inequality is scarce. We quantify the impact of modifying risk factor distributions on educational mortality differences using the Population Attributable Fraction. This is done for scenarios in which the social distribution of risk factors changes in 20 European populations. We also estimate the effect of a change in the educational distribution on the overall level of mortality. We use national data on risk factor prevalence and mortality, and rate ratios from epidemiologic reviews on the impact of risk factors on mortality. The scenarios where the whole population has the same prevalence of physical activity, smoking and BMI as the high educated show that excess mortality of low educated persons would drop by 2 to 49 percent. A redistribution of income results in smaller reductions of inequalities. We present a promising tool for quantifying the effect of policy interventions on health inequality.
