(Project no. 2002551)

The aim of this project is to examine cause-specific mortality rates and cancer risk considering demographic/socioeconomic factors (e.g. education, ethnicity, country of birth), by taking into account the impact of internal and international migration.We will use the ONS LS focusing male and female LS members who are aged 18+ in 2001 or 2011. The research will help understand socioeconomic inequalities in causespecific mortality and typespecific cancer incidence/survival across England and Wales (E&W) by considering the influence of migration. Having a better understanding of these topics is essential to developing effective public health policies in the future.
