LAY OF THE LAND The Country, Without Cultural Deprivation POPULATION -- 4,240 full-time residents.
There were no significant interactions between year and any of area deprivation, population density, individual socioeconomic position, or gender.
Social deprivation, population size, ethnicity, availability and access, and education and awareness are some of the most significant factors that affect uptake.
Main outcome measures Incidence of cancers of the brain and central nervous system, leukaemia, and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, and all cancers combined, adjusted for small area measures of education level, socioeconomic deprivation, population density, and population mixing.
In the multiple linear regression we undertook the block 1 analysis which tested population, geographical and health factors and identified two factors which predicted potentially avoidable admission rates: employment deprivation (population factor) and urban/rural status (geographical factor).
We chose to allocate levels of population mixing, deprivation and population density based on matching cases to the 1991 census.
Due to the possibility of multicollinearity occurring between population mixing, deprivation and population density, correlation between variables was assessed using Spearman's rank coefficient.
‡Percentage of population with education to degree level or higher, Carstairs deprivation score, population density, and population mixing.
Practices will be selected to reflect the diversity of the population based on deprivation indicators, population density and ethnicity.
The change in the amount of unexplained difference when carrying out sensitivity analysis demonstrates the difficulties in comparing socioeconomic deprivation between populations, even within the same country and when applying an established ecological measure.
