Abstract
In all known societies health risks, health-related behaviours, physical and mental health, and life expectancy tend to vary between social groups. Inequalities in health exist across a range of social and demographic indicators including income, social class, occupation and parental occupation, level of education, housing condition, neighbourhood quality, geographic region, gender and ethnicity. Inequalities are evident in many health outcomes, including mortality, morbidity, self-reported health, mental health, death and injury from accidents and violence.
There is a considerable body of research documenting trends in inequalities and examining explanations for their existence and persistence. However, there is a lack of evidence about the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of policies, programmes, and projects to improve environments, and to reduce health burdens, unhealthy behaviours, and inequalities in health.
This award will fund four five-year postdoctoral researchers whose fellowships will focus on developing and/or implementing and evaluating community-based interventions and/or policies designed to narrow the gap between deprived and vulnerable groups and the rest of the population. A secondary aim of these fellowships is to develop much-needed multidisciplinary research skills and capacity in collaborative population health science.
It is very important that researchers study problems which are relevant to policymakers and practitioners, and ensure that the findings of their research are exchanged with these policymakers and practitioners in order to encourage uptake of any conclusions. This award will also fund a part-time knowledge broker tasked with generating early intelligence on research opportunities and policy/practitioner needs for research in particular fields, and providing two-way communications between researchers and policymakers and practitioners, in order to enhance the policy relevance of our work, and its translation into policy and practice.
This award therefore has two aims:
• The rigorous development, implementation, and evaluation of the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of community-based interventions and policies, especially in relation to inequalities in health.
• The facilitation of two-way knowledge flows between the research in the social and public health sciences, and relevant policymakers and practitioners.

• The rigorous development, implementation, and evaluation of the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of community-based interventions and policies, especially in relation to inequalities in health.
• The facilitation of two-way knowledge flows between research in the social and public health sciences, and relevant policymakers and practitioners.

| Title | Free School Meals |
| Description | Data from official Scottish Government sources were used to investigate the hypotheses outlined above. School meals data was obtained from the Scottish Government's Healthy Living Survey (HLS), an annual census of all publicly-funded Scottish schools, collected in a single week in February 2014. The data analysed was collected for 342 schools (with an additional 20 being lost to missing data) and 36,086 pupils. Data on school buildings was obtained via the 2014 School Estates Core Facts Survey in which local authorities collect information on the size, condition, suitability and capacity of all publicly-funded schools. The survey allows for the ongoing monitoring of school refurbishment. The two datasets were linked using school and local authority names as identifiers. An additional explanatory variable was the price paid for a meal. This data was derived by accessing pricing information via local authority or school websites. Official Scottish Government data (Scottish Government, 2014) provided information on the percentage of the population within each local authority falling into one of six categories: Large Urban, Other Urban, accessible Small Towns, Remote Small Towns, Accessible Rural, Remote Rural. We combined 'neighbouring' pairs to reduce this to three categories: Urban, Small Town and Rural. |

Data were collected at baseline and at 36 weeks gestation and at 6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months postpartum. Body Mass Index at 12 months postpartum was the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include pregnancy weight gain, quality of life, mental health, waist-hip ratio, child weight centile, admission to neonatal unit, diet, physical activity levels, pregnancy and birth complications, social support, self-regulation and self-efficacy. Data on cost effectiveness and process evaluation data were also collected. |

| Title | Shirt Sponsorship by Gambling Companies in the English and Scottish Premier Leagues: global reach and public health concerns |
| Description | While the nature of gambling practices is contested, a strong evidence base demonstrates that gambling can become a serious disorder and have a range of detrimental effects for individuals, communities and societies. Over the last decade, football in the UK has become visibly entwined with gambling marketing. To explore this apparent trend, we tracked shirt sponsors in both the English and Scottish Premier Leagues since 1992 and found a pronounced increase in the presence of sponsorship by gambling companies. This increase occurred at the same time the Gambling Act 2005, which liberalised rules, was introduced. We argue that current levels of gambling sponsorship in UK football, and the global visibility it provides to gambling brands, is a public health concern that needs to be debated and addressed. We recommend that legislators re-visit the relationship between football in the UK and the sponsorship it receives from the gambling industry. |

| Results and Impact | From 5-7 October 2018 the Complexity in Health Improvement Programme hosted a Hackathon -- a weekend-long event in which a group of young 'hackers' with diverse computing and design skills came together to develop ideas relating to complexity in health. We began the event with some introductory talks on the programme and on complexity for the attending hackers, then showed them an introductory video we had produced to inspire their weekend of hacking. Outcomes included prototype computer simulations of complex health issues and of visualisations of individual interactions in a complex agent-based social system. These outputs are now in the possession of the SPHSU, including all computer code and art assets, and can be used to inspire future work on communicating complexity to stakeholders in health policy and practice. |

The majority of the audience were academic researchers working in behavioural medicine, in addition to some professional practitioners and under/postgraduate students. We presented both posters and engaged in numerous discussions with conference attendees. Discussions focused on the potential of using smartphones apps for lifestyle behavoiur change. Several researchers took our contact details with a view to exploring similar opportunities in their own institutions. |
