Design: Longitudinal study.
Setting: General practice data for five vaccines administered to children (first and second doses of the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR1 and MMR2, respectively), rotavirus vaccine, pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) booster, and six-in-one (DTaP/IPV/Hib/HepB) vaccine covering diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, type b, and hepatitis B) from the Cover of Vaccination Uptake Evaluated Rapidly dataset in England.
Article Synopsis
- Social inequalities in child mental health are a significant public health issue, and this study aims to examine these inequalities over time across various countries.
- Using longitudinal data from eight birth cohorts in twelve countries, the research tracks children's socio-economic circumstances and mental health outcomes from ages two to eighteen.
- Results indicate that children from poorer socio-economic backgrounds generally show higher levels of internalising and externalising problems, although some cohorts exhibit minimal inequalities in certain age groups.
