| 2008 | April 28 | A Tale of Two Cities: Neighbourhood segregation by income in two urban case | It is now well understood that people living in deprived areas have poorer access to goods and services, frequently experience lower quality goods and services, and often have to pay more for these goods and services than those in better off areas. There is also evidence that living in an area of concentrated deprivation tends to exacerbate residents’ problems, compromising health, educational outcomes and employment. | ippr | 3.9mb |
| 2008 | April 25 | Benchmarking ICT use among General Practitioners in Europe | A rapid development has taken place in the eHealth area in Europe over the past five years, and General Practitioners have been able to profit from it. A basic ICT infrastructure consisting of computers and Internet connections is today available in most of the General Practitioner practices in Europe. The electronic storage of administrative and medical patient data, the use of a computer during consultation with patients and other uses of ICT in the health area are becoming more and more a daily experience in the practices. At the same time, there is still room for improvement when it comes to electronic networks connecting their IT systems with other health actors, the electronic exchange of patient data and electronic interactions with patients | European Commission | 945kb |

| 2008 | April 17 | HBSC Scotland National Report | The report, produced by CAHRU with funding support from NHS Health Scotland, provides a unique picture of the health of young people aged 11, 13 and 15 years in Scotland over the last two decades.

| 2008 | April 16 | Justice denied | The Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland has published the findings of its formal investigation into deficiencies in the care and treatment of a woman with a learning disability (Ms A).
The report, entitled ‘Justice Denied’, says that services responsible for Ms A’s care failed to protect her from a series of serious sexual assaults, by a small number of men, over a period of years. The report goes on to say that, in addition to failures to effectively protect Ms A, the combined responses of services effectively denied Ms A access to justice. | Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland | 62kb |

| 2008 | April 7 | The Aftershock of Deindustrialisation: Trends in mortality in Scotland and other parts of post-industrial Europe | Post-industrial decline (and its many associated factors) is frequently cited as one
of the major underlying reasons behind the poor health profile of Scotland and,
especially, the West of Scotland. It is instructive to know, therefore, how other
post-industrial areas in Europe have fared in respect of recent health trends.
This research, as a first stage of an ongoing process to gain a better understanding of Scotland’s (and particularly the West of Scotland’s) continuing poor health status relative to other comparable areas, identified a total of 20 regions in the UK and mainland Europe which had suffered similar levels of deindustrialisation in the latter half of the 20th century. Detailed mortality and population data were obtained for each region to allow meaningful comparisons of mortality based trends (life expectancy, and age, sex, and cause specific death rates) over the last 20-25 years. These data are presented alongside brief and simple descriptions of each area in terms of their industrial history, socioeconomic profile, and current health status in relation to their parent countries. | Glasgow Centre for Population Health | 3.2mb |
| 2008 | April 2 | For Love or Money: Pay, progression, professionalisation in the 'early years' workforce | The first report from ippr’s Working out of Poverty series highlighted the significant and growing problem of poverty among working people and their families. The aim of this report is to investigate how these issues play out in one particular low wage sector – the early years – highlighting both challenges that are common across low wage sectors and those that are distinctive to the early years. | ippr | 208kb |
