Context: Poor/non-existent evidence base for health inequalities in Ireland
‘…findings that are rather similar, at first sight, of what we have been finding in our international overview studies (in which Ireland was sadly missing)’[via John Mackenbach, pers com, 2014]
Countries from whom we do not have data:‘EUR: Andorra, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Channel Islands, Faroe Islands, Georgia, Ireland, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Liechtenstein, Macedonia, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, San Marino, Serbia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine’[International Diabetes Federation, 2014]
Methods: Develop a new ‘Intermediate Area’ geography for Ireland
Obtain mortality data for 2006-2011 Clean the data Geocode it Derive population data
Derive mortality rates
Explain the results
