CCSR/ISC Seminar 7 February A multilevel simultaneous equations model for within-cluster dynamic effects, with an application to reciprocal relationships between maternal depression and child behaviour Fiona Steele1, Jennifer Jenkins2 and Jon Rasbash1 1 Centre for Multilevel Modelling, University of Bristol 2 Department of Human Development and Applied Psychology, University of Toronto We propose a general multilevel simultaneous equations model for studying dynamic interdependencies between individuals in a cluster, for example members of a family or employees in an organisation. The model includes lagged and cross-lagged terms to allow for effects of one individual’s outcome at time t-1 on the change in another individual’s outcome between times t-1 and t, while allowing for the possibility that the outcomes of members of the same cluster may be influenced by a common set of unmeasured time-invariant cluster characteristics. We show how the model can be framed as a type of multilevel multivariate model and estimated using multilevel modelling software. Our approach is illustrated in an analysis of maternal depression and child delinquency using longitudinal data from the Avon Brothers and Sisters Study. We differentiate between reciprocal influences between a mother and her children, as well as reciprocal influences of siblings on one another, allowing effects to depend on characteristics of parent, child and sibling pair. The multilevel model allows for residual variation in mother and child outcomes at the occasion, individual and family levels, and residual correlation between mother and child outcomes due to shared unmeasured environmental and genetic factors. The model can also accommodate mixed family sizes. More information.

Ethnic inequalities in health: the role of social and economic inequalities?

CCSR/ISC seminar 21 February 2012 Ethnic inequalities in health: the role of social and economic inequalities James Nazroo, Professor of Sociology and Director of the Cathie Marsh Centre, University of Manchester Differences in health across ethnic groups, in terms of both morbidity (the presence of illness and disease) and mortality, have been repeatedly documented in the UK, as they have in the US and elsewhere in the world. They seem to be a consistent feature of the social distribution of health in developed countries. But health inequalities have largely been investigated within a medical paradigm, one that focuses on specific diseases, and investigates the distribution of disease across the population in the expectation of finding ‘clues’ as to causal processes. The seemingly ‘natural’ division of the population into ethnic/race groups in such investigations allows for the easy reification of ethnic classifications and the identification of causal processes within imagined essential characteristics of ethnic groups. In this paper I will first describe the ethnic patterning of health – primarily using data drawn from the UK – and then go on to discuss possible explanations for this patterning. This will touch on issues of class, racism, generation and integration. Throughout I will show that ethnic inequalities in health in developed countries cannot be understood without building on an adequate understanding of ethnic/race relations and the contexts within which these operate. The core argument is that health cannot be understood outside of social context – its generation and distribution across the population is not a purely biological phenomenon. And that differences in health across ethnic groups cannot be understood without considering how they relate to the patterning of social and economic inequalities. More information.

A multiple-process latent transition model of poverty and health

CCSR/ISC seminar 6 March 2012 A multiple-process latent transition model of poverty and health Amanda Sacker, Professor in Quantitative Social Science, Institute for Social & Economic Research, University of Essex Health researchers often draw on the life-course perspective, evincing a concern for how long-range experiences in one life domain may influence, and be influenced by, those in another. I will present a multiple process latent transition model (MPLTM) that simultaneously estimates change in health and poverty dynamics, using repeated measures of self-rated health and income for working-aged adults from the British Household Panel Survey 1991 to 2006. Different specifications of the model are developed and tested, quantifying concurrent and longitudinal effects in order to address whether change in these two processes is related or independent. The model is then extended to include time-invariant (cohort and gender) and time-varying (weeks employed in previous year) covariates. Evidence supports both concurrent and bidirectional longitudinal relationships between poverty and health, with employment status appearing to mediate longitudinal health-to-poverty effects and confound longitudinal poverty-to-health effects. MPLTM is shown to be a useful tool, providing quantitative estimates of complex ”interlocking processes” that are often difficult to measure and assess. More information.
