Researchers from CEG’s Household Health, Child Health and Health Inequalities teams will deliver five oral presentations and three posters throughout the conference from 4-6 September.
Nicola Firman and Marta Wilk will showcase analyses using Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRNs) and health records to understand household health in North East London. Join Nicola on Wednesday to discover whether children who move house more often in the first two years of life are less likely to receive the MMR vaccine, which protects them against measles, mumps and rubella. Marta’s poster, presented on Friday, summarises her use of UPRNs to understand whether mental ill health is more common in overcrowded households.
On Friday, Natalia Concha presents methods and headline findings from the Food Improvement Goals in Schools (FIGS) study, which is a qualitative evaluation of the universal free school meals policy in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The study team used interviews, creative methods and observational data to explore the factors influencing perceptions, experiences and resources around food provision in schools.
In Wednesday’s Poster Presentation A, Lucy McCann and Ian Holdroyd present an analysis of private healthcare patterns in England, and a review of the impact of primary care funding on health inequalities. Their oral presentations will explore an innovative framework for synthesising equity-focused evidence, and ask whether adjusting the Carr-Hill formula can improve the prediction of clinical need.
On Friday, Anna Gkiouleka discusses how health care organisations can operate as ‘anchor institutions’ to improve social determinants of health in their local communities. Anna uses four case studies from secondary care, with data gathered through interviews and synthesised using realist methodology that considers how things work in specific contexts.
