ID 2007 Mental Health Indicator: Health Deprivation and Disability for England

Indices of Deprivation 2007 provide a standardised measure of mental health problems among adults under 60 across England. The data, published by Neighbourhood Statistics and sourced from Communities and Local Government, is derived from prescribing, suicides, and health benefits records.

Use Cases

• Mapping spatial disparities in mental health deprivation based on the standardised measure.
• Correlating area-level mental health indicators with other socio-economic factors.

• Benchmarking local mental health outcomes at the LSOA geography.

Strengths

• Geographic coverage is specific to England at the detailed Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) level.
• Time coverage is explicitly stated as 2007.
• Derived from multiple administrative sources including prescribing, suicides, and health benefits data.

Limitations
