Less for an epidemiology, health systems and public audience SEP low- middle-income (LMIC). The social stratification processes many LMIC—and therefore appropriate tools—differ considerably from those HIC. Many measures have utilized epidemiological studies; aspects captured by these pathways through which they may affect are likely to be slightly different but overlapping. No single...
Stressful circumstances that covary with maternal affective disorder may account for some of the risk to children psychological dysfunction. Children (ages 8-16) mothers unipolar or bipolar disorders were compared who had chronic medical illness and normal mothers.

KEY ISSUES--Over one hundred years of social science research has shown that different groups have probabilities suffering from multiple deprivation; yet census based deprivation indices frequently assign equal weightings to each their component variables. This becomes highly problematic when these are used as the basis for allocating resources local and health authorities. In order ensure fairness accuracy in resource allocation should be both weighted validated. STUDY RESULTS--Weightings...
When developing household surveys, much emphasis is understandably placed on survey instruments that can elicit accurate and comparable responses. In order to ensure carefully crafted questions are not undermined by 'interviewer effects', standardised interviewing tends be utilised in preference conversational techniques. However, drawing a behaviour coding analysis of paradata arising from the 2012 UK Poverty Social Exclusion Survey we show practice often involves extensive unscripted...
