Well being

• 4.8% of adults aged over 16 had low levels of life satisfaction in 2014-15, compared to

5.6% the previous year

• Low levels of life satisfaction worse in more deprived areas.
• Ranged from 2.8% in Bath and North East Somerset, to 8.7% in Wolverhampton.

Policy Objectives: The Social Determinants of Health

A. Give every child the best start in life B. Enable all children, young people and adults to maximise their capabilities and have control over their lives.

• C. Create fair employment and good work for all
• D. Ensure a healthy standard of living for all

E. Create and develop healthy and sustainable places and communities F. Strengthen the role and impact of ill-health prevention

Look at the Inequalities Indicators Table…..

• It depicts the Marmot indicator scores for the most

deprived, average, and least deprived areas.

• For every indicator there is a clear pattern…

scores are generally better in the least deprived areas and worse in the most deprived areas.

• Clustering of disadvantage.
• In Blackpool men live until 54.9 in good health,

compared to 71.4 in Wokingham.

• Not all bad – children eligible for FSM do better in

early years in more deprived areas.

Some current SDH issues…

Increase in numbers not able to afford a healthy life.

Greener living environments: lower health inequalities, England

Income group 4 is most deprived

Lower usage of green space in more deprived areas

• In England, 15.3% had visited the natural environment from March 2012 to

February 2013.

• Green space important for more deprived communities-impact on CVD,

and mental health.

SDH issues for those in multiply disadvantaged groups…

A study of homeless people in Edinburgh found that19

• 20% have never been employed
• 50% had no friends or confidants
• 40% had been sexually abused
• 60% had been physically abused
• 40% had spent time in prison
• 70% had at least one diagnosable Personality Disorder

A report by Crisis20 states that only 38% of rough sleepers have any form of qualification, compared to 66% of the general population. …Need to focus on reducing abuse in childhood, improving education for all and ensuring work/life pathways for those with no qualifications.

If lack of income and early years abuse drive homelessness and sex work, you would expect to see higher prevalance in deprived neighbourhoods/ areas with high costs of living and those with poorer early years and safeguarding records… Could focus strategies for reduction of these conditions in these neighbourhoods,

Level of development at end of reception

• In 2013/14 - 60.4% of all children and 44.8% of pupils eligible for free school meals achieved a

‘good level of development’, compared to 51.7% and 36.2% respectively in 2012/13.

• There was a significant improvement across all English regions.
• The gap between all and FSM pupils was greater in more advantaged areas and tended to

narrow with increasing area deprivation.

• Gap ranged from 4.2 in Hackney to 29.5 in Bath and North East Somerset.
• But nearly half of all upper tier local authority areas reduced in-area inequalities between

2012/13 and 2013/14.

Some differences in English regions…

E.g. the South East has significantly improved against 6 indicators. But

• NEET
• Households in fuel poverty
• Households unable to afford an

acceptable standard of living significantly worsened. No significantly worse indicators for the North West, but 9 indicators significantly better.

Discussion

• How can the use of the social determinants of health model be applied to

Issues of multiple deprivation.. E.g. homelessness, sex work, substance abuse?

• What is the interplay between the conditions in which people are born,

educated, work (or not) and individual behaviour?
