Each seminar has a featured speaker(s) and theme and there will be an opportunity to connect and ask about their work.
Staff and students from Queen Mary and Barts Health NHS Trust are invited to join us, to:
Marta and Nicola present methods and findings from two innovative research projects that use Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRNs) and GP records to study the wider determinants of health. Marta used pseudonymised UPRNs to link data on health and property size. By doing so, she was able to find that living in an overcrowded house with a small amount of space per person is associated with an increased likelihood of mental illness or depression diagnosis.
Nicola analysed health information and addresses for 169,000 children in North East London to explore the hypothesis that children who move home frequently are less likely to receive routine vaccinations. She studied the association between number of addresses in the first two years of life and receipt of MMR vaccination by age two, finding that MMR uptake was indeed lower in children with multiple addresses.
With the consent of the speakers, recordings of our seminars are available to watch here after the event.
