Jessop EG. Individual morbidity and neighborhood deprivation in a non- metropolitan area. Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. 1992;46:543-546.
The objective of this U.K. study was to replicate, in a nonmetropolitan area, a study by Curtis based on data from different parts of London that found a significant relationship between individual morbidity and neighborhood deprivation. The researchers examined neighborhood deprivation effects in a rural area of England and found no association with self-reported health. They hypothesized that either the measures of deprivation used were not valid measures of deprivation in this area, or that health did not vary by area deprivation in these rural areas.
