Inequalities in health
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Glasgow
Department Name: UNLISTED
Abstract
Health inequalities in the UK were highlighted in the Black Report in 1980. Since then, and despite moving near the top of the health agenda, inequalities have in the main persisted or increased across the world. Doubt remains as to how to reduce health inequalities; this in part reflects continuing uncertainty about the causes of inequalities and a lack of rigorous evaluation of interventions detailing impacts on inequalities.
The work of this programme looks to address these gaps in knowledge and to work to reduce inequalities in health. In particular, we will work to describe the nature of health inequalities, to improve our understanding of those factors that actually cause health inequalities, and to find out what works to reduce inequalities in the population and in the workplace, in the UK and internationally.

Technical Summary
The aim of this programme is to improve understanding of inequalities in health. We produce important methodological development and emphasise improving understanding of the causes of inequality to inform policy or other intervention strategies, largely using observational data. Our objectives are:
1. To improve population health and reduce inequalities through research that advances understanding of the determinants of health and health inequalities.
2. To inform and evaluate policy and large-scale interventions that will reduce health inequalities through the conduct and translation of research.
3. To exploit and enhance routine, linked and population-sampled data sources, maximising the return on the investment made in these resources and the underlying infrastructure.
4. To develop and build capacity in methods for measuring, understanding and reducing inequalities in health using observational data.
We will continue to provide leadership in the methodological challenges underlying research into inequalities in health. The programme is presented in four workstreams. Workstream 1: “Measuring inequalities” capitalises on our expertise in linked data to assess the nature and extent of inequalities in health and behaviours. Workstream 2: “Understanding inequalities” develops and applies causal methods to determine the root causes of health inequalities. Workstream 3: “Reducing inequalities” examines how health inequalities may be reduced, particularly through the restructuring of social protection and other large-scale policies and interventions. Workstream 4: “Inequalities in the workplace” considers the relationships between work and health as a means of reducing inequalities in the working age population.
Together, these workstreams provide a progression of health inequalities research: describing the problem, understanding the causes, and establishing what works to reduce inequalities in population and workplace settings in the UK and internationally.

| Geographic Reach | National |
| Policy Influence Type | Implementation circular/rapid advice/letter to e.g. Ministry of Health |
| Impact | UPDATE 5/6/23: on 24/5/23, the Chair of the Committee (Rt Hon Stephen Timms) wrote a pointed letter the DWP minister requesting to know why DWP have not previously been shared with the co-authors of the sanctions review (as agreed in 2013), and asking what steps the DWP will take to ensure data are shared in order to allow robust research into the impact of DWP policies. A reply by 7/6/23 was requested. The lead author on our scoping review of the impact of benefit sanctions has been invited to give evidence to a Non-inquiry session of the HoC Work and Pensions Select Committee on 10/5/23. MPs were very engaged with the evidence during the session, and the potential negative impacts of sanctions were stressed throughout by the lead author. Importantly, the Committee chair returned to the issues of the DWP's failure to meet its commitments to share its sanctions data with the research team of which the lead author is a member. It is likely this will lead to increased pressure on DWP to share the data. |

These include a SNAP-AMR research summary brief; 5 research posters detailing key results and health messages deriving from the SNAP-AMR project, and how these feed into NAP objectives; and a booklet of presentations slides for engagement activity 1 above detailing fundamental information on AMR and associated risk and prevention practices. The 4-page research summary brief and posters were disseminated to research partner institutions in Tanzania: The Catholic University of Health and Allied Sciences; the Kilimanjaro Clinical Research Institute and the Nelson Mandela African Institute of Science and Technology. The presentation handouts were used as an aid during the workshops detailed in the first engagement activity described above and subsequently disseminated to community members and health providers at the end of each workshop. Contributions to the WAAW scientific symposium included oral presentations of SNAP-AMR research findings by Tanzanian members of the team. |

It was ran over three days (three hours per day), each focusing on a specific aspect of health. As well as introducing results from the CHiCS project, the webinar also included guest presentations by other researchers, including research from Wales and Northern Ireland. Using the World Café method, the participants explored questions around the context of the results, how to talk to children and young people about these, and what policy responses might be required to reduce inequalities in health. We concluded with an open discussion where the different cafés feed back key ideas from their discussions to all participants. The feedback and ideas from the event will be used in a non-academic report. |

| Results and Impact | E-CIGARETTES AND PUBLIC HEALTH: REASONS FOR OPTIMISM? Published 2nd March 2021 By Prof. Shona Hilton and Christina Buckton (MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit) and colleagues Prof. Katherine Smith, Dr Heide Weishaar, Dr Theresa Ikegwuonu and Dr Mark Wong The growth of e-cigarettes and the emergence of a new public health debate Smoking is a leading cause of death but what role will e-cigarettes play in consigning smoking to the history books? Scientists broadly agree that vaping is less harmful than continuing to smoke but are less clear on how best to respond to the commercialisation of e-cigarettes. Major concerns exist about the lack of regulation surrounding e-cigarettes and their marketing, and public health experts fear that any divisions in the public health response might weaken the huge strides made in tobacco control in recent years. While some public health advocates have welcomed the rapid expansion of the global e-cigarettes market (now a billion-dollar industry) as a route to supporting smoking cessation, others are concerned that the tobacco industry is using vaping to re-build corporate reputation and re-gain policy influence. This blog examines the fierce public health debates that have emerged around e-cigarettes. Using the findings from a Cancer Research UK-funded project analysing Scottish policy consultations on e-cigarettes and key informant interviews, we consider three questions. How divided is the public health community on e-cigarettes regulation and marketing? In our first paper, in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, we examine the views of health-focused actors on the potential harms and benefits of e-cigarettes and appropriate regulatory responses. Using thematic and social network analysis, we demonstrate that health-focused actors strongly engaged in Scottish e-cigarette policy development and generally agreed on age-of-sale restrictions and regulating advertising. Points of contestation were restricted to understandings of the harms and benefits of e-cigarettes and the regulation of vaping in public places - issues that mapped onto actors contrasting emphases on population or individual health (and an uncertain evidence-base). Using Scotland as a case study, our analysis challenges the prevalent view that the public health community is polarised when it comes to regulating e-cigarettes and suggests instead that there is constructive dialogue and collaborative health advocacy.. How and why have different types of commercial actors engaged in the e-cigarette policy consultation process? Our paper published in Tobacco Control highlights the diversity of commercial actors seeking to influence e-cigarette regulation and demonstrates that regulatory preferences strongly align with business interests. Transnational tobacco corporations (TTCs), independent e-cigarette manufacturers and other non-pharmaceutical commercial actors were opposed to most aspects of e-cigarette regulation, excluding age-of-sale restriction. Whereas commercial actors with pharmaceutical interests, who profit from more traditional forms of smoking cessation such as nicotine replacement therapy, supported more stringent regulation. Hence, although commercial actors viewed collaboration as strategically important for gaining policy influence, competing interests informed some strategic distancing. (e.g. TTCs maintaining distinct commercial identities from their e-cigarette operations). Many commercial actors seemed concerned about their potential exclusion from policy discussions and, in response, emphasised differences between tobacco and e-cigarette policy engagement. Our findings suggest that Article 5.3 of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control is unlikely to be sufficient for managing these varying conflicts of interest so new guidance may be required. What do we know about the role of evidence with policy debates about e-cigarette? Finally, in BMC Public Health, we examine the role that evidence is playing in e-cigarette debates. We show that, while e-cigarettes may have triggered a breakdown in established public health alliances, there is potential for evidence to provide a path forward. Although actors described drawing on existing values and interests to weigh up policy options, this seemed to be at least partly a reflection of the fact they felt current research had significant limitations (in both quality and quantity). Some actors in our sample did have clear and fixed policy preferences that seemed unlikely to shift (regardless of any emerging evidence) because these preferences reflected either their material interests or deeply held values. However, these actors formed a minority in our data. Most of our participants occupied an uncertain middle ground on key aspects of e-cigarette regulation and appeared to be responsive to new evidence. Indeed, rather than finding an irrevocably divided set of actors, our study suggests the sense of polarisation in e-cigarette debates is explained by: (i) recurrent media simplifications; and (ii) the efforts of some actors with fixed positions to influence others, including by strategically promoting supportive evidence and undermining contrary evidence (perhaps because they perceive tobacco control policy to be on the cusp of major change). We conclude that e-cigarette debates are likely to reconcile only if participants in the uncertain middle ground collectively settle on a shared regulatory approach. Since many of these participants have concerns that can be empirically assessed, emerging evidence may help public health participants identify a more consensual way forward. Concluding thoughts: opportunities to renew public health alliances? Some observers of e-cigarettes debates suggest that traditional public health alliances around tobacco control have ruptured irreconcilably in the context of e-cigarettes. If true, this is deeply concerning - it is an outcome that TTCs have long worked towards and one that risks undermining progress in protecting public health policies from vested commercial interests. Yet our research suggests there are at least three reasons to be optimistic about the potential for public health alliances to be renewed: There is already a public health consensus on some aspects of e-cigarette regulation, meaning there are opportunities for collaborative public health advocacy. Although the network of commercial actors involved in e-cigarettes is more complex than for traditional tobacco products, commercial preferences on e-cigarette regulation do appear to align with business interests so should be relatively straightforward to understand and respond to. Many public health actors in our sample held tentative, uncertain policy positions that appeared to be responsive to evidence, suggesting new evidence may help overcome current differences. |

| Primary Audience | Professional Practitioners |
| Results and Impact | 8 paediatric dietitians based in NHS Fife, met for a guided discussion on health inequalities within their workplace. The discussion focused on the dietitian's understanding and perspectives on health inequalities. The discussion was lead by Catherine Friel. The topics discussed were what dietitians understood health inequalities to be, how they recognized disparities or disadvantage within their practice, their understanding of how health inequalities impacts on th effectiveness of their clinical practice and clinical outcomes, what causes inequalities, and if there was anything they could do to address inequalities. We identified that there was a good basic understanding of what health inequalities were and the causes. There were difficulties in identifying disadvantaged groups, with exception of extreme examples i.e. if there were welfare concerns. It was also identified that the effectiveness of outcomes and differential outcomes depending on socioeconomic status was generally unknown due to a lack of data. This was consistent with the evidence in the literature where some researchers raise a concern about the lack of data on the effectiveness of intervention by social class. It raised the additional issue of how to dietitians recognise disadvantaged groups, and the literature on this will be explored further within my PhD. |

| Results and Impact | "Marathon" for the development of journalistic content about the Índice Brasileiro de Privação (IBP). In between 20 and 25 media professionals from all regions of Brazil were invited personally to participate in the initiative. We identified those professionals based on their interest in health inequalities and data journalism. Journalists were shown how to use IBP and received mentoring in the process of content production. Participants had early access to the IBP panel. They were allowed to publish the articles about IBP after December 3rd. On the first day we held the webinar "The journalistic coverage about health inequalities in Brazil". The speakers were an epidemiologist, the editor of magazine Radis - Communication and Health from Fiocruz and a communicator from Health Ministry and from a traveller community. Journalists invited from the mediathon, communicators from Fiocruz and journalists from various media formed the audience. The webinar has 202 view on Youtube after 10 months. On the second day, we had the workshop Health Data Journalism only for the journalists invited for mediathon. The speakers were a PhD student in public health and a demographer from Fiocruz, and a communicator specialist on data visualization. On the third day, we had the "Exploring the Índice Brasileiro de Privação in journalistic contents about health inequalities in the country". The WP2 researchers explained the IBP construction process in detail and its utilities. During this section, we also showed some applications in childhood mortality and the IBP user panel. As result, we had six special journalistic articles produced by the participants and published in national and local media. They attracted the attention of other media which led to more request for information about IBP. As a result of the mediathon, policymakers were alerted to the existence and use of the IBP. This led to engagement with relevant stakeholders in government departments. |

This Data Dive Event focused upon Challenge 2: To ascertain what administrative longitudinal data can be linked and harmonised across the 4 UK countries. This event (consisting of two sessions) brought together 10 data experts from across the UK to discuss and map longitudinal and administrative data that links mothers and children. The group agreed on a common set of outcomes, examined data available across birth records (for mothers and babies), hospitalisation data, and health visiting data sources. Next, there was discussion to determine data availability across the 4 UK nations. The group also identified key factors to provide a basis for developing a template for detailed data mapping. |

| Results and Impact | Olivia Hamilton led a workshop at the Poverty Alliance annual conference at the Royal Conference Hall in Glasgow, supported by Gillian Fergie, Marcia Gibson, Rachel Thomson and Gillian Bell. The workshop involving approximately 50 participants, including third sector advocates specialising in anti-poverty, housing and health; health practitioners (e.g. NHS; PHS), professionals from the private sector, and members of the public (e.g. community activists and people with lived experience of income insecurity). Olivia presented current research highlighting links between income from major income supplementation policies (like universal basic income) and physical and mental health. Olivia also discussed how certain aspects of policy design (such as conditionality) can be particularly impactful for health. The participants were guided in a policy activity whereby they were asked to build their own income policy, by answering questions about policy design, presented to them on a large tabletop wheel. Participants added hundreds of post it notes to the tabletop policy building wheels, recording their perspectives on aspects of policy design and ideas for reform of the social security system. Participants reported their ideas back to the overall group and contributed their expertise to a lively discussion. A summary of this session will be published in a report on the Poverty Alliance website. Additionally, the session was also captured in a art work that was comissioned by the poverty alliance, which can be seen at the following link, under the heading "improving health": https://www.povertyalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Drawing-a-Line-Under-Poverty_graphic_recording_eddy_phillips.png Following the session, Olivia was contacted by a professional from the Glasgow Health and Social Care Partnership, to discuss the session further. |
