Q

Purpose of measuring SEP

A

Quantify level of inequality within or between societies
Highlight changes to pop structures over time, e.g. between Census periods and generations
Help understand relationship between health and other social variables

Occupation --> status, power

Q

SEP: Dahlgren & Whitehead Model - Living and working conditions

A

Area-based measures of SEP:

  • NZ Index of Deprivation (NZDep) - most common in NZ
  • Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) - allows you to explore drivers of area deprivation

Other measures e.g. social fragmentation and accessibility indices:
- difference between potential and realised access

Q

Area-level deprivation measurement

A

Measures people’s relative position in society, but reports this based on where they live, not who the people are themselves
Focuses on material deprivation - refers to what residents living in particular areas don’t have (deficit model – easier to ask than what people have)

Q

Data source - Census

A

Traditionally, people were employed as ‘enumeration officers’ to contact individual households to ensure census data collection:

  • deliver and collect census form
  • check fully completed
  • country divided into small areas (meshblocks) with ~100 people on average - designed to be manageable for enumeration officers

Changes in adult mortality rates less dramatic and less variable over time - spread over wider age range
Migration can have dramatic effect, especially if trend is age/sex specific

Q

Income inequalities in NZ

A

Widened over time

71
Q

What does a Lorenz curve show

A

The distribution of wealth in a population

72
Q

How to draw a Lorenz curve

A
  1. Order pop from lowest to highest and ask:
    - What % of wealth is owned by poorest 10% pop? Then 20% etc.
  2. Draw line of absolute equality (45°)
  3. Draw line based on available data (concave)
  4. The more concave, the greater the income inequality in a pop
73
Q

Lorenz Curve - Gini Co-efficient

A

The ratio of the area between the line of perfect equality and observed Lorenz curve (A) to the area between the line of perfect equality and line of perfect inequality (B)

Gini = A / (A+B)
where 0 = very equal society and 1 = very unequal society

74
Q

Implications of (income) inequities

A 
Unequal society
Less social cohesion
Less trust between groups
Increased stress
Reduced economic productivity
Poorer health outcomes
75
Q

How can reducing inequities be achieved?

A

Through redistribution of rss according to need, or

Using examples of best practice, it’s possible to improve performance of others and thus reduce inequities

76
Q

Examples of interventions to promote health

A

Bike lanes (e.g. along Northwestern motorway)
Queen Street - increased walkability
Walking school buses

77
Q

Exercise in daily routine

A

If already walking/cycling to and from work/home, exercise is already incorporated into daily routine

78
Q

Health benefits of cycling

A 
Reduce stress
Build stamina
Promote weight loss
Promote muscle strength
Increase cardiovascular fitness
Aids in heart disease prevention
Boost immune system
79
Q

Health risks of cycling

A

Accidents

Air pollution exposure

80
Q

Analysing air pollution

A

Rather than just looking at exposure/conc, also look at dose - take into account travel time and how active the mode of transport is; more active –> breathing more –> increased dose

81
Q

Separation of modes of transport for equal dose/exposure of air pollution

A

Cyclists increased by ~3m away from center line

Pedestrians increased by ~2m from center line

82
Q

Walking school bus - levels of air pollution

A

Diff levels of air pollution on diff sides of the road

More pollution on side closest to busy side of road

83
Q

Urban streets vs green space

A

Urban street - high air pollution exposure

Green space - low air pollution exposure

84
Q

Sustainability and health

A

Sustainability –> safety –> providing health environment

85
Q

Exercise and air pollution

A

Exercise outweights any negative associations with air pollution - put into perspective

86
Q

More people will cycle in neighbourhoods with…

A

Low traffic volume with low vehicle speed on residential streets
Separate cycleways on high-traffic roads
Mixed land use so destinations and walkable/cyclable from home

87
Q

Domains included in NZ Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD)

A 
Employment (28%)
Income (28%)
Crime (5%)
Housing (9%)
Health (14%)
Education (14%)
Access (2%)
88
Q

NZ IMD: Domain - employment

A

Measures degree to which working age people are excluded from employment

89
Q

NZ IMD: Domain - income

A

Captures extent of income deprivation in a data zone by measuring state-funded financial assistance to those with insufficient income

90
Q

NZ IMD: Domain - crime

A

Measures risk of personal and material victimisations; damage to person or property

91
Q

NZ IMD: Domain - housing

A

Proportion of people living in overcrowded housing and proportion living in rented accommodation

92
Q

NZ IMD: Domain - health

A

Identifies areas with a high level of ill health or mortality

93
Q

NZ IMD: Domain - education

A

Captures youth disengagement and proportion of working age population without a formal qualification

94
Q

NZ IMD: Domain - access

A

Measures cost and inconvenience of travelling to access basic services
e.g. supermarkets, GPs, primary and intermediate schools

95
Q

Neighbourhood deprivation can be seen as a measure of…

A

socio-economic position

96
Q

NZDep - principle component analysis

A

Where the 9 dimensions are combined to create a map showing levels of deprivation by decile (10%) or quintiles (20%)

97
Q

Difference between access for NZDep and IMD

A

NZDep: internet access
IMD: geographic access

98
Q

NZ IMD - grouping of domains

A

7 domains grouped together using weights (%) –> create overall IMD score for each neighbourhood, which is ranked to create the overall IMD rank

99
Q

Correlation between NZDep and IMD

A

Generally quite a strong correlation

100
Q

Appropriate uses of NZDep2013

A

Planning and resource allocation
Research
Advocacy

101
Q

Appropriate interpretation of NZDep2013

A

“People living in the most deprived neighbourhoods…”

NOT “the most deprived people…”

102
Q

The ecological fallacy

A

The error that arises when info about groups of people is used to make inferences about individuals
Neighbourhood values can’t be ascribed to the individual

103
Q

Variations in health

A

Upstream interventions can target individual, family and community, or environment
e.g. fluoridation of water, green prescriptions

104
Q

Elements of healthy environments include…

A 
Clean air and water
Appropriate housing
Access to wholesome food
Safe community spaces
Access to transport
Opportunities to incorporate exercise as part of daily life

Required to maintain good health among pop

105
Q

Build environment

A

All buildings, spaces and products that are created, or at least significantly modified by people

Includes:
Structures - homes, schools, workplaces
Urban design - parks, business areas and roads (above and below ground, and across land)

106
Q

How can built environment be measured

A

Often context-specific - depends on research question / health outcome of interest
Urban density - pop and/or employment density
Land-use mix - residential, commercial, industrial, wasteland
Street connectivity - ‘lollipop’ neighbourhoods (one main road in and out) vs well-connected streets
