My PhD Title: The impact of unemployment on health service utilisation
Supervisor: Dr Manuel Gomes
Lay summary:
It is well-established in literature that the unemployed is less healthy than those who are employed. However, the extent to which unemployment affects health service utilisation is under-developed. This research will use a large linked observational dataset from Barking and Dagenham (London) to explore how employment status affects the use of healthcare services through its impact on physical and mental health status. Different healthcare sectors including hospital, GP, community care, social care and mental health (main focus) will be studied. Results from this study will help UK policy makers to design interventions that can moderate the impact of unemployment on health care utilisation.
