Most of his research examines the effects of social, demographic, economic, health, and behavioural factors on individuals' health, disability, and mortality. The course will tackle such crucial questions as: Are health disparities widening over time and place? Are individuals really living longer and in better health? How does socioeconomic status operate to improve health and reduce mortality? Will life expectancies in more developed countries continue to increase over time and, if so, by how much?For detailed information about the course, please click on the link below: http://www.s3ri.soton.ac.uk/courses/mortality/index.php or email Christina Thompson at cct@soton.ac.uk.
