| Annotation | Key priorities in the 1999 White Paper, "Towards a healthier Scotland" (Cm 4269) include reducing inequalities in health and promoting social inclusion. This longitudinal study reports on socially contrasting neighbourhoods in Glasgow. Respondents who are old, live in owner-occupied houses in more affluent areas, and who are not working outside the home report significantly more positive assessments of perceived neighbourhood cohesion. Lack of social cohesion may be more common in deprived areas of Scotland, and may produce poorer mental health. Living in an area with low levels of social cohesion may be part of the pathway between life circumstances and death. (RH). |
