Part one is a systematic review of the association between income inequality and adult mental health at the subnational level. It considers two alternative hypotheses: (i) the Income Inequality Hypothesis (IIH), which predicts an association between higher inequality and poorer mental health, and (ii) the Mixed Neighbourhood Hypothesis (MNH), which predicts a reversed association, i.e. between higher inequality and better mental health. Part two is a quantitative, empirical study into the Individual- and neighbourhood-level predictors of psychotic symptom dimensions. It involves a secondary analysis of data originally gathered from a group of participants presenting to services in West London with First Episode Psychosis (FEP). Part three is a critical appraisal of the process of undertaking the research described in parts one and two. It includes a series of reflections on various stages of the research process, in addition to a consideration of some of the broader questions and issues it raised. |
