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.

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. |

| 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. |
