Rates of most specific psychiatric disorders were comparably higher for respondents meeting poverty criteria compared with those not in poverty, although these differences were not always statistically significant.

Comparison of the effects of current and previous unemployment on depression and subjective physical health status across levels of educational attainment and local job availability shows that current unemployment effects among the previously unemployed are strongest in low unemployment areas.

Evidence that, irrespective of socioeconomic status, depression carried a substantial risk for poor clinical course and outcome is found, and the stability of the relationship between poverty and depression warrants the attention of caregivers and policymakers and raises new questions about strategies for the study of causal sequences.

The view that recent widening of inequalities in material standards of living in the United Kingdom pose a substantial threat to health is supported, as common mental disorders are associated with a poor material standard of living, independent of occupational social class.

To a large extent the relationships between unemployment and psychiatric disorder seen in this cohort were explained by social, family and personal factors that were present before school leaving age, Nonetheless, young people exposed to unemployment had higher rates of substance use and anxiety disorder.

In a national sample of over 3,000 36-year-olds, neurosis was more prevalent in men of lower status as assessed by housing tenure but not occupational class, education or personal income.

While socio-economic variables, especially low household income and not having a partner were associated with a worse outcome among prevalent cases at baseline, such variables were only weakly associated with the incidence of psychiatric disorder after adjusting for potential confounders.

Overall 57% of Product Licence applications considered between 1987 and 1989 either do not reach the market or only with substantial restrictions on dosage or indications, which plays a significant role in promoting public health rather than merely delaying the entry of new products to the market.
