“…Cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption and bad nutrition are socially approved individual ways to cope with, and temporarily escape, from adverse living conditions. For instance, people smoke to reduce anxiety, fear, and distress 24. These unhealthy behaviours, however, have to be understood in the context of the constraints of material conditions 25.…”

Study objective-To investigate the association between material deprivation and 10 leading causes of death by gender. Design-Small area cross sectional ecological study using two dimensions of material deprivation (Index 1 and Index 2) drawn from 1991 census and cause specific mortality data aggregated for 1987-1995. Setting-2218 small areas in Spain. Main results-Strong detrimental associations of two deprivation indices were found with top six leading causes of death for men and top seven leading causes of death for women, except breast cancer. For men, the highest percentages of excess mortality (between 40% and 60%) were found for smoking and alcohol related causes of death such as lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, and cirrhosis while for women the highest percentages of excess mortality (between 40% and 60%) were found for diet related causes such as diabetes and ischaemic heart disease. Conclusions-Health inequality is a widespread phenomenon in the majority of the top leading causes of deaths of the nation. Increasing levels of deprivation indices are associated with mortality risk diVerently by both cause and gender. Results suggest that deprivation eVects mainly captured by Index 2 may manifest largely as unfavourable health behaviours leading to gender specific sets of causes of deaths. Findings of this study are consistent with the idea that material deprivation determines health inequality through both an increase of general susceptibility to ill health, leading to excess mortality in a wide range of causes, and a set of specific factors, resulting in an increased risk of death from a specific set of causes in each gender.

“…Change is more likely to occur when people: 1) know why the change is desirable; 2) have the resources and skills needed to implement the change; 3) perceive the change to be in their self-interest, 4) change does not result in conflict with their families, friends, subculture, etc. ; 5) are reinforced by the larger environment; and 6) positive feedback/reinforcement is received for having changed (Benfari, Ockene and McIntyre, 1982).…”

Mental health and public health: Strengthening a working relationship

This paper sets out some reasons for the relatively slight interactions between the fields of mental health and public health. These reasons include the problematic nature of case definition in the mental health field, the vague etiologic concepts in mental health, the stigma attached to mental illness, numerous ongoing professional conflicts, and the perceived failure of the community mental health center movement in the 1960s and '70s. The public health field is, itself, a broad based endeavor which is currently suffering from a large loss of financial resources. This has resulted in public health taking on a defensive posture which is implicitly inhospitable to mental health. The remainder of the paper specifies some areas in which contact between mental health and public health might be most productive, given the reality of the aforementioned constraints.
