Most underserved groups actually showed lower mortality risk. But LGB+ individuals had a persistent elevated risk for deaths of despair, and the health inequalities facing Irish Travellers were striking. doi.org/10.1016/j.ss...

At today’s launch of the new report and animation from @adrcni.bsky.social, led by @drsarahmckenna.bsky.social, on children’s social care and homelessness in NI: The evidence shows the disproportionate burden on young people with a social care history, especially at key transition points.

Printed copy of the report titled “Children’s Social Care and Homelessness in Northern Ireland: Connecting Data, Changing Futures,”

Slide showing key findings from the report. It highlights that homelessness disproportionately affects young people with a social care history and peaks at key transition points.

How do mortality patterns differ across underserved groups? Join me at ‘The Public’s Data for the Public’s Benefit’ event (part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science 2025) to hear how Census-linked data has been used to uncover inequalities in mortality risk across Northern Ireland.
