  • child mortality socioeconomic position and One Parent Families independent associations and variation by age and cause of death
    International Journal of Epidemiology, 2003
    Co-Authors: Tony Blakely, June Atkinson, Cindy Kiro, Alison Blaiklock, Amanda J Dsouza
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND: Although the association between child mortality and socioeconomic status is well established, it is unclear whether child mortality differences by socioeconomic position are present at all ages. The association of One-Parent Families with mortality, and whether any such association is due to associated low socioeconomic position, is also not clear. METHODS: In all, 480 of 693 (69%) 0-14 year old deaths during 1991-1994 were linked to 1991 census records. Analyses were weighted to adjust for potential linkage bias. RESULTS: There was approximately twofold higher mortality among the lowest compared with the highest socioeconomic categories of education, income, car access, and neighbourhood deprivation. Occupational class differences were weaker. These socioeconomic differences in mortality were strongest among infants (particularly sudden infant death syndrome [SIDS] mortality), but similar across other age groups (1-4, 5-9, and 10-14 years). The socioeconomic differences were of a similar magnitude for unintentional injury, cancer, congenital, and other deaths. Multivariable analyses demonstrated persistent independent associations of education, income, car access, and neighbourhood deprivation with mortality. Rate ratios (adjusted for age and ethnicity) for One-Parent Families compared with two-Parent or other Families were 1.2 (95% CI: 1.0, 1.5) and 1.8 (95% CI: 1.2, 2.5) for all-cause and unintentional injury mortality, respectively. Further adjustment for socioeconomic factors reduced these associations to 0.8 (95% CI: 0.6, 1.2) and 1.2 (95% CI: 0.7, 2.2), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: There does not appear to be notable variation in relative risk terms of socioeconomic differences in child mortality by age or cause of death. Any association of One-Parent Families with child mortality is due to associated low socioeconomic position.

  • Child mortality, socioeconomic position, and One-Parent Families: independent associations and variation by age and cause of death

  • One Parent Families and the dependent children living in them in great britain
    Population Trends, 2002
    Co-Authors: J Haskey
    Abstract:

    : This article provides updated final estimates of the number of One-Parent Families, and of the number of dependent children living in them, from 1995 to 1997, inclusive, together with provisional estimates for 1998 to 2000. The existing methodology has been extended so that additional alternative estimates have been generated from which to assess the "best estimates". The number of One-Parent Families in Great Britain is provisionally estimated at 1.75 million in 2000, and the number of deppendent children living in those Families as 2.9 million.

  • One Parent Families and their dependent children in great britain
    Population Trends, 1998
    Co-Authors: J Haskey
    Abstract:

    : This article analyses a number of aspects of lOne Parenthood. First, it updates the estimated national numbers of One-Parent Families and dependent children living in them. The article then considers the composition of lOne Parents by their marital status and examines the family sizes of lOne Parent Families and couple Families, as well as contrasting the different age profiles of the different kinds of lOne Parent. Specially commissiOned survey data on the marital and cohabitational histories of lOne mothers, married mothers and cohabiting mothers are analysed to give a picture of their differing patterns of past partnerships. The article also investigates the people present in lOne Parent households in terms of their relationship to the lOne Parent.

  • birth cohort analyses of dependent children and lOne mothers living in One Parent Families in great britain
    Population Trends, 1998
    Co-Authors: J Haskey
    Abstract:

    : This paper uses the recently published updated estimates of the numbers of One-Parent Families and dependent children living in them to construct two sets of birth cohort analyses. In the first set, the proportion of children who were living in One-Parent Families is analysed by the child's age and birth year, whilst in the second set, the proportions of all mothers with dependent children who were lOne mothers are analysed by the mother's age and birth year. Finally, the paper presents trends in the proportions of lOne mothers and married mothers who were working, and compares them with the corresponding trends for similar mothers whose youngest child was aged under 5.

  • estimated numbers of One Parent Families and their prevalence in great britain in 1991
    Population Trends, 1994
    Co-Authors: J Haskey
    Abstract:

    This article gives the final estimate of the number of One-Parent Families in Great Britain in 1991--1.3 million--and a provisional estimate--of 1.4 million--for 1992....The article also examines the family sizes of One-Parent Families; the profiles by marital status of both lOne mothers and lOne fathers; the ages of lOne Parents and of their dependent children and the geographical variation in the prevalence of lOne Parenthood within Great Britain in 1991. Finally census data on the family composition of households are examined to investigate the extent to which lOne Parent Families live in multi-family households and the relationship between the lOne Parent and the head of the other main family in the household.

  • trends in the numbers of One Parent Families in great britain
    Population Trends, 1993
    Co-Authors: J Haskey
    Abstract:

    This article presents new estimates of the number of One-Parent Families--and dependent children living in them--in Great Britain in 1990 provisional estimates for 1991 and revised estimates for 1989....The article examines the trends in the numbers and the composition of One-Parent Families over the last two decades. Between 1971 and 1991 the number of One-Parent Families more than doubled including an increase of One quarter during the last four years up to 1991. During the same four-year period the number of single lOne Parents grew even more quickly increasing by almost three quarters. (EXCERPT)
