• The role of social factors in gambling: evidence from the 2007 British Gambling Prevalence Survey (2010, background): “Individual and social determinants of health are of course not mutually exclusive, as social epidemiologists such as Macintyre, Ellaway, and Cummins ( 2002 ) have pointed out.”
• Measuring Capacities for Community Resilience (2010, background): “Compositional variables are those that aggregate the characteristics of individuals in a given area so that differences between areas are assumed to be due to the composition of individuals (Cummins et al. 2005; Macintyre et al. 2002).”
• Life course of place: A longitudinal study of mental health and place (2018, positive): “shown to be prerequisites for positive health experiences (Macintyre et al., 2002).”
• Health benefits of green spaces in the living environment: A systematic review of epidemiological studies (2015, background): “…conviction has gained ground that in order to be effective in promoting health and healthy behaviour, public health interventions have to address not only individual characteristics but also the physical and social environment (Brug, et al., 2006; Egger and Swinburn, 1997; Macintyre et al., 2002).”
• Neighborhoods and health (2010, positive): “47 In his typology Manski distinguishes three types of group effects (1) effects of aggregate outcomes at the group-level on individual-level outcomes (which he terms “endogenous” effects); (2) contextual effects of group composition; and (3) environmental effects.”
• The Development of a Standardized Neighborhood Deprivation Index (2006, methodology): “Further, research using census data to approximate deprivation is inherently limited in its ability to address causality or mechanisms.(76) Using LBW as a health outcome is often considered problematic, since LBW can result from preterm delivery, impaired fetal growth, or both.”
• Walkability of local communities: using geographic information systems to objectively assess relevant environmental attributes. (2007, background): “potential to add conceptual and methodological rigour to analyses of environment–behaviour relationships (Macintyre et al., 2002).”
