Abstract:

This paper analyzes heath risk and how it is communicated to, and understood within, a predominantly African American neighborhood in central Florida. Residents accuse the county department of public works of purposeful contamination and discrimination over a period of 30 years. I raise the questions of how risk is perceived and what roles race or class may play. I also developed a model for risk communication that includes all stakeholders. Finally, I expand the conversation of health disparities to include issues of widening gaps in perceptions of health. This was examined by looking at the

Abstract:

Background With the continuing increases in life expectancies in developed countries, an important public health goal is to ensure successful ageing—morbidity compression, maintenance of physical functioning and active engagement in life. It is well established that the onset of physical function decline begins in mid-life, and functional capacity is critical to maintaining mobility, independence and quality of life. A growing body of literature has found that residents of more disadvantaged neighbourhoods have significantly poorer physical function, independent of individual-level factors.

Abstract:

This thesis works towards a social psychology of health inequalities in order to further understanding of the relations between structure and agency (re )producing these inequities. It does so by exploring the ideological construction of health and identities associated with the axes of inequality. Employing a material-discursive methodological standpoint to link work on inequality with that of 'lay health beliefs', it is argued that discourse is the semiotic moment of practices (re )producing health inequalities. Critical discourse analysis thereby provides a means to examine the ideological

This thesis is concerned with the relationship between disability and working conditions. In the first two chapters we investigate how past and current working conditions, in conjunction with other socio-demographic variables, contribute to disability. We focus on differences by migrant status (first chapter) and by period or cohort (second chapter) specifically, by comparing successive cohorts of young people aged 25 to 34. In the third chapter we take up the opposite perspective and we analyse the effect of permanent disability on the working life of the individual. The main result of the fi

Abstract:

Health and health behaviour varies both socially and geographically and individuals may experience different degrees of health according to their socioeconomic position and where they live. The fact that health varies geographically is usually given two interpretations. It may arise as a consequence of the composition of individuals according to sociodemographic markers. Alternatively, there may be features associated with the context in which they live that explains geographical health variation. Consequently, individuals’ health may be influenced by both individual factors and contextual fac

This thesis consists of three self-contained research articles that empirically examine the ethnic and spatial patterning of health outcomes in England today. Health is defined here as a multidimensional concept encompassing physical and mental health and wellbeing, in line with the Public Health White Paper ‘Healthy Lives, Healthy People’ (HM Government, 2010). Each chapter utilises data from Understanding Society, a nationally representative panel study, which provides detailed information about the social and economic situations of people living in the UK.

Findings show that in Mozambique, despite the overall health status has improved over time, women, children, elders and the population living in rural areas of the country are left behind in the progress to attain better health.

The general objective of this dissertation is to study breast cancer screening and specifically social inequalities by social class and country of origin and its relationship with decreasing mortality. Therefore, four different studies have been done: three with quantitative methodology and one with qualitative. According to the quasi-experimental study, breast cancer mortality decreased in Barcelona before the introduction of the population screening program, but this reduction is more marked after its introduction. According to data from the Spanish National Health Survey in 2006, ther

Abstract:

The overall aim of the thesis was to explore social inequalities in: a) mortality during mid-life, b) health in later life, and c) old-age mortality, from a life-course perspective. The studies are based on longitudinal Swedish survey and registry data. The results from Study I showed substantial inequalities in health, based on social class and gender, among older adults (aged 55+). Moreover, the magnitude of these inequalities did not change during the period 1991-2002. The results from Study II revealed social inequalities in cognitive functioning among the oldest old (aged 77+). Social tur

Background: The degree of health variation among social groups is an important indicator of population health and the efficiency of economic and social systems. Previous studies revealed existence of health inequalities across Europe, however recent studies on the contribution of income to such inequalities are scarce. Aim: To investigate differences in self-reported health between the lowest and the highest income groups across Europe. Method: Data from the European Social Survey for 29 countries were examined. The absolute inequalities were calculated as differences in age-adjusted prevalenc

Abstract:

The main purpose of this thesis is to explore social and spatial inequalities of ill-health in Scotland using a spatial microsimulation modelling approach. The complex questions of what socio-economic or geographical factors may influence the health of individuals are explored in this PhD, using a variety of statistical methods. Using data from the Scottish Health Survey and the UK Census of Population a Spatial Microsimulation model was designed and constructed to undertake this task. The Spatial Microsimulation Model developed allowed the exploration of simulated health and socio-economic da

La presente tesi di dottorato si propone di indagare lo stato delle disuguaglianze di salute nella città di Milano. Si parla di disuguaglianze di salute in presenza di differenze negli stati di salute delle persone all’interno di una popolazione, o tra gruppi di individui, quando queste sono attribuibili alle condizioni socioeconomiche delle persone, in virtù dell’iniqua distribuzione di risorse sociali, economiche, culturali e relazionali che consentono a ciascuno di raggiungere il proprio potenziale di salute. In aggiunta, il raggiungimento di uno stato di salute ottimale può essere influenz

Abstract:

Introduction: In recent years the idea of inequality has been revitalised in the global discourse of development. Despite experiencing significant achievements in addressing the Millennium Development Goal, the fight against inequality remained an unfinished agenda. Disparities in child and maternal health & nutrition exist in almost every low and middle-income country. The global community is increasingly recognising the fact that while a country may be on track to achieve specific targets, the situation concerning some subgroups of the population may remain the same or even worsen over time.

Abstract:

This study explores the experiences of General Practitioners (GPs) and patients in the management of type 2 diabetes in contemporary Australia. I focus on the way the socioeconomic position of patients is a factor in that experience as my underlying interest is in exploring how health inequalities are understood, approached and handled in general practice. The study is thus a practical and grounded exploration of a widely debated theoretical issue in the study of social life, namely the relationship between the micro day-to-day interactions and events in the lives of individuals and the broad

As desigualdades socioeconómicas na saúde têm sido observadas há séculos por todo o mundo. Décadas de investigação identificaram múltiplos fatores que determinam estas desigualdades, como educação ou emprego. Recentemente, o foco da investigação sobre desigualdades em saúde mudou de determinantes individuais para determinantes contextuais, como as características físicas e sociais do ambiente. No entanto, a investigação sobre os determinantes contextuais depara-se com a ausência de uma base teórica sobre como estes determinantes influenciam a saúde.
