Bringing baby home: UK fathers in the first year after the birth
[…] our earlier report, ‘Who’s the Bloke in the Room?’ left off. The report explores who dads are; what they do as caregivers, and what influences this; what impact they have (on children and mothers); and how services engage with them. The report begins with a synthesis of findings from a scope of the research […]
The impact of formal care provision on informal care receipt for people over 75 in England
Mortality risk information, survival expectations and sexual behaviours
We investigate the impact of a randomised information intervention about population-level mortality on health investment and subjective health expectations. Our focus is on risky sex in a high HIV-prevalence environment. Treated individuals are less likely to engage in risky sexual practices one year after the intervention, with for example an 8% increase in abstinence. […]
Do attitudes towards immigrants matter? The subjective wellbeing of immigrants in England and Wales and their exposure to non‑migrants
The wellbeing of immigrants is affected by those around them and the context in which they live. Yet we still know relatively little about the impact that attitudes towards immigrants (ATI) have on immigrants’ life satisfaction, nor do we know the routes by which it manifests. By matching individual data from the UK Understanding […]
The income-health gradient: evidence from self-reported health and biomarkers using longitudinal data on income
[…] where both higher risk of illnesses and steeper income gradients are observed. A two-step estimator, involving a fixed-effects income model at the first stage, shows that the individual-specific selection effects have a systematic impact in the long-run income gradients in self-reported health but not in biomarkers, highlighting the importance of reporting error in self-reported health.

Understanding the relationship between income and mental health among 16- to 24- year-olds: analysis of 10 waves (2009–2020) of Understanding Society to enable modelling of income interventions
[…] a higher SF-12 MCS score. Compared with previous reviews, the data presented here provides an estimate of the magnitude of effect that helps facilitate microsimulation modelling of impact on anxiety and depression from changes in socioeconomic circumstances. This enables a more detailed and complete understanding of the types of socioeconomic intervention that might begin […]
