Social cohesion and mental health in Wales – Dr Giles Greene (Cardiff University – Dept of Primary Care and Public Health). March 2012
The data will be used to generate area-level (LSOA) values of social cohesion using items from the Neighbourhood cohesion scale (Buckner; 1988). These LSOA social cohesion scores will then be combined with mental health outcome data from the Welsh Health Survey. The research aims to establish examine the association between perceived community cohesion and mental health. Multilevel logistic models will be used due to the clustered nature of the Understanding Society sample to account for the non-independence of observations within neighbourhoods. The data will be used to derive an area-level score of social cohesion in Wales.
Other surveys used: LIW.

Who are the White British Muslims? – Mr Muhammad Brice (University of Wales Trinity Saint David). July 2011
This study aims to build a demographic and socio-economic profile of the minority etho-religious group "White British Muslims". This group is of interest as it represents a minority within a minority (representing some 3% of the Muslim population, which in itself represents some 3% of the total population), but is also a sub-group of the dominant majority ethnic group (White British). The profile will be compared to that of the majority ehtnic group and also to that of the religious group "Muslim" in order to gain a better understanding of just who the White British Muslims are.
