Abstract
Background Although the association between poor health and deprivation is well-founded, a ‘Scottish effect’ has been observed, whereby the level of health appears even poorer than Scotland's higher level of deprivation should warrant. We consider whether ‘Scottish effects’ also occur within the regions of England and Wales.Keywords
