    Description

    The primary data source for this study is the Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study (NILS), which in 2001 defined a representative cohort of c.28% of the population. It is formed from the linkage of the universal Health Card registration system, 2001 Census returns, and vital statistics data. NILS contains a unique Health and Care Number that enables linkage to other health service databases. It is maintained by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA). The 2001 Census records provided most of the attributes of the NILS cohort members, also contextual information relating to household composition and interpersonal relationships, and characteristics of the household and area of residence.

    The vital events linked to NILS were used to determine whether a cohort member had been bereaved between April 2001 (the time of the Census) and the end of December 2009. The 2001 Census asked questions about relationship to other people living in the household, these questions were used to determine who a cohort member lived with, and the vital events records identified co-resident family members’ deaths. Approximately 96% of death records are routinely linked to the NILS dataset using a mixture of exact and probabilistic matching.

    Data relating to medications that have been prescribed by a General Practitioner and dispensed from community pharmacies have been collated centrally in an Enhanced Prescribing Database (EPD) since 2009. Each prescription record contains the individual’s Health and Care Number, a General Practice (GP) identifier, the drug name and British National Formulary (BNF) category. Information was extracted for antidepressant and anxiolytic medications (BNF categories 4.1.2 and 4.3) for the period January 1st to February 28th 2010. Health and Care Number allowed exact matching between prescribing and NILS records. The linkage process was carried out by the EPD and NILS data custodians. The linked dataset was then anonymised before being supplied to the researchers, and was held in a secure setting (9). At no time were patient identifiable data available.

    The data used for the Grief study is not publicly available, but researchers can make a request to link data for themselves by contacting the Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study Research Support Unit

    Everybody will face bereavement at some stage; but for some people, this can be a more difficult process. There are many factors that can influence how people cope with the loss of a loved one, including level of family support, financial resources, stress, and the circumstances surrounding death.By studying use of prescription medications to help with mental health, we can get a better understanding of how factors such as age, gender, family support, employment and religion affect how people cope after bereavement. By looking at circumstances of bereavement this study will also discover if the factors that help people cope - such as family support - are more or less important depending on how they lost their loved ones.The Grief Study is based on data from the Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study, this holds information on around 500,000 people. By linking this data with the Northern Ireland Mortality Study and Health and Social care information on prescriptions, the Grief Study aims to learn more about bereavement, mental health, complicated grief, and longer term outcomes for people who have lost a loved one.

    LifeSnaps Dataset Documentation

    Ubiquitous self-tracking technologies have penetrated various aspects of our lives, from physical and mental health monitoring to fitness and entertainment. Yet, limited data exist on the association between in the wild large-scale physical activity patterns, sleep, stress, and overall health, and behavioral patterns and psychological measurements due to challenges in collecting and releasing such datasets, such as waning user engagement, privacy considerations, and diversity in data modalities. In this paper, we present the LifeSnaps dataset, a multi-modal, longitudinal, and geographically-distributed dataset, containing a plethora of anthropological data, collected unobtrusively for the total course of more than 4 months by n=71 participants, under the European H2020 RAIS project. LifeSnaps contains more than 35 different data types from second to daily granularity, totaling more than 71M rows of data. The participants contributed their data through numerous validated surveys, real-time ecological momentary assessments, and a Fitbit Sense smartwatch, and consented to make these data available openly to empower future research. We envision that releasing this large-scale dataset of multi-modal real-world data, will open novel research opportunities and potential applications in the fields of medical digital innovations, data privacy and valorization, mental and physical well-being, psychology and behavioral sciences, machine learning, and human-computer interaction.

    The following instructions will get you started with the LifeSnaps dataset and are complementary to the original publication.

    Data Import: Reading CSV

    For ease of use, we provide CSV files containing Fitbit, SEMA, and survey data at daily and/or hourly granularity. You can read the files via any programming language. For example, in Python, you can read the files into a Pandas DataFrame with the pandas.read_csv() command.

    Data Import: Setting up a MongoDB (Recommended)

    To take full advantage of the LifeSnaps dataset, we recommend that you use the raw, complete data via importing the LifeSnaps MongoDB database.

    To do so, open the terminal/command prompt and run the following command for each collection in the DB. Ensure you have MongoDB Database Tools installed from here.

    For the Fitbit data, run the following:

    mongorestore --host localhost:27017 -d rais_anonymized -c fitbit

    For the SEMA data, run the following:

    mongorestore --host localhost:27017 -d rais_anonymized -c sema

    For surveys data, run the following:

    mongorestore --host localhost:27017 -d rais_anonymized -c surveys

    If you have access control enabled, then you will need to add the --username and --password parameters to the above commands.

    Data Availability

    The MongoDB database contains three collections, fitbit, sema, and surveys, containing the Fitbit, SEMA3, and survey data, respectively. Similarly, the CSV files contain related information to these collections. Each document in any collection follows the format shown below:

    Abstract

    According to the World Health Organization, pandemic fatigue poses a serious threat for managing COVID-19. Pandemic fatigue is characterized by progressive decline in adherence to social distancing (SDIS) guidelines, and is thought to be associated with pandemic-related emotional burnout. Little is known about the nature of pandemic fatigue; for example, it is unclear who is most likely to develop pandemic fatigue. We sought to evaluate this issue based on data from 5,812 American and Canadian adults recruited during the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Past-year decline in adherence to SDIS had a categorical latent structure according to Latent Class Analysis, consisting of a group adherent to SDIS (Class 1: 92% of the sample) and a group reporting a progressive decline in adherence to SDIS (i.e., pandemic fatigue; Class 2: 8% of the sample). Class 2, compared to Class 1, was associated with greater pandemic-related burnout, pessimism, and apathy about the COVID-19 pandemic. They also tended to be younger, perceived themselves to be more affluent, tended to have greater levels of narcissism, entitlement, and gregariousness, and were more likely to report having been previously infected with SARSCOV2, which they regarded as an exaggerated threat. People in Class 2 also self-reported higher levels of pandemic-related stress, anxiety, and depression, and described making active efforts at coping with SDIS restrictions, which they perceived as unnecessary and stressful. People in Class 1 generally reported that they engaged in SDIS for the benefit of themselves and their community, although 35% of this class also feared they would be publicly shamed if they did not comply with SDIS guidelines. The findings suggest that pandemic fatigue affects a substantial minority of people and even many SDIS-adherent people experience emotionally adverse effects (i.e., fear of being shamed). Implications for the future of SDIS are discussed.

    Description

    This table contains estimates of Incomes (Median Equivalised, Median Disposable), Poverty (using the proportion of people below a half median equivalised disposable household income poverty line), Inequality (using the Gini coefficient) and financial stress (Had no access to emergency money, Can't afford a night out once a fortnight and Leaving low income from benefit). Leaving low income from benefit is the gross earning (expressed as a percentage of average full time earnings) required for a family to reach a 60% of median household income threshold from benefits of last resort (State welfare payments or income support). All estimates were derived using a spatial microsimulation model which used the Survey of Income and Housing and the 2011 Census data as base datasets, so they are synthetic estimates. This table forms part of the AURIN Social Indicators project.

    Description

    Introduction: The immediate impact of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) on morbidity and mortality has raised the need for accurate and real-time data monitoring and communication. The aim of this study is to document the initial observations from multiple digital services providers during the COVID-19 crisis, especially those related to mental health and well-being.Methods: We used email and social media to announce an urgent call for support. Digital mental health services providers (N = 46), financial services providers (N = 4), and other relevant digital data source providers (N = 3) responded with quantitative and/or qualitative data insights. People with lived experience of distress, as service users/consumers, and carers are included as co-authors.Results: This study provides proof-of-concept of the viability for researchers and private companies to work collaboratively toward a common good. Digital services providers reported a diverse range of mental health concerns. A recurring observation is that demand for digital mental health support has risen, and that the nature of this demand has also changed since COVID-19, with an apparent increased presentation of anxiety and loneliness.Conclusion: Following this study, we will continue to work with providers in more in-depth ways to capture follow-up insights at regular time points. We will also onboard new providers to address data representativeness. Looking ahead, we anticipate the need for a rigorous process to interpret insights from an even wider variety of sources in order to monitor and respond to mental health needs.

    Description

    Note: After May 3, 2024, this dataset will no longer be updated because hospitals are no longer required to report data on COVID-19 hospital admissions, hospital capacity, or occupancy data to HHS through CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). The related CDC COVID Data Tracker site was revised or retired on May 10, 2023.

    This dataset represents weekly COVID-19 hospitalization data and metrics aggregated to national, state/territory, and regional levels. COVID-19 hospitalization data are reported to CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network, which monitors national and local trends in healthcare system stress, capacity, and community disease levels for approximately 6,000 hospitals in the United States. Data reported by hospitals to NHSN and included in this dataset represent aggregated counts and include metrics capturing information specific to COVID-19 hospital admissions, and inpatient and ICU bed capacity occupancy.

    Reporting information:

    • As of December 15, 2022, COVID-19 hospital data are required to be reported to NHSN, which monitors national and local trends in healthcare system stress, capacity, and community disease levels for approximately 6,000 hospitals in the United States. Data reported by hospitals to NHSN represent aggregated counts and include metrics capturing information specific to hospital capacity, occupancy, hospitalizations, and admissions. Prior to December 15, 2022, hospitals reported data directly to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) or via a state submission for collection in the HHS Unified Hospital Data Surveillance System (UHDSS).
    • While CDC reviews these data for errors and corrects those found, some reporting errors might still exist within the data. To minimize errors and inconsistencies in data reported, CDC removes outliers before calculating the metrics. CDC and partners work with reporters to correct these errors and update the data in subsequent weeks.
    • Many hospital subtypes, including acute care and critical access hospitals, as well as Veterans Administration, Defense Health Agency, and Indian Health Service hospitals, are included in the metric calculations provided in this report. Psychiatric, rehabilitation, and religious non-medical hospital types are excluded from calculations.
    • Data are aggregated and displayed for hospitals with the same Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Certification Number (CCN), which are assigned by CMS to counties based on the CMS Provider of Services files.
    • Full details on COVID-19 hospital data reporting guidance can be found here: https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/covid-19-faqs-hospitals-hospital-laboratory-acute-care-facility-data-reporting.pdf

    Metric details:

    • Time Period: timeseries data will update weekly on Mondays as soon as they are reviewed and verified, usually before 8 pm ET. Updates will occur the following day when reporting coincides with a federal holiday. Note: Weekly updates might be delayed due to delays in reporting. All data are provisional. Because these provisional counts are subject to change, including updates to data reported previously, adjustments can occur. Data may be updated since original publication due to delays in reporting (to account for data received after a given Thursday publication) or data quality corrections.
    • New COVID-19 Hospital Admissions (count): Number of new admissions of patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 in the previous week (including both adult and pediatric admissions) in the entire jurisdiction.
    • New COVID-19 Hospital Admissions (7-Day Average): 7-day average of new admissions of patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 in the previous week (including both adult and pediatric admissions) in the entire jurisdiction.
    • Cumulative COVID-19 Hospital Admissions: Cumulative total number of admissions of patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 (including both adult and pediatric admissions) in the entire jurisdiction since August 1, 2020.
    • Cumulative COVID-19 Hospital Admissions Rate: Cumulative total number of admissions of patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 (including both adult and pediatric admissions) in the entire jurisdiction since August 1, 2020 divided by 2019 intercensal population estimate for that jurisdiction multiplied by 100,000.
    • New COVID-19 Hospital Admissions Rate (7-day average) percent change from prior week: Percent change in the 7-day average new admissions of patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 per 100,000 population compared with the prior week.
    • New COVID-19 Hospital Admissions (7-Day Total): 7-day total number of new admissions of patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 (including both adult and pediatric admissions) in the entire jurisdiction.
    • New COVID-19 Hospital Admissions Rate (7-Day Total): 7-day total number of new admissions of patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 (including both adult and pediatric admissions) for the entire jurisdiction divided by 2019 intercensal population estimate for that jurisdiction multiplied by 100,000.
    • Total Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients: 7-day total number of patients currently hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 (including both adult and pediatric patients) for the entire jurisdiction.
    • Total Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients (7-Day Average): 7-day average of the number of patients currently hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 (including both adult and pediatric patients) for the entire jurisdiction.
    • COVID-19 Inpatient Bed Occupancy (7-Day Average): Percentage of all staffed inpatient beds occupied by patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 (including both adult and pediatric patients) within the entire jurisdiction is calculated as an average of valid daily values within the past 7 days (e.g., if only three valid values, the average of those three is taken). Averages are separately calculated for the daily numerators (patients hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19) and denominators (staffed inpatient beds). The average percentage can then be taken as the ratio of these two values for the entire jurisdiction.
    • COVID-19 Inpatient Bed Occupancy absolute change from prior week: The absolute change in the percent of staffed inpatient beds occupied by patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 represents the week-over-week absolute difference between the 7-day average occupancy of patients with confirmed COVID-19 in staffed inpatient beds in the past 7 days, compared with the prior week, in the entire jurisdiction.
    • COVID-19 ICU Bed Occupancy (7-Day Average): Percentage of all staffed inpatient beds occupied by adult patients with confirmed COVID-19 within the entire jurisdiction is calculated as a 7-day average of valid daily values within the past 7 days (e.g., if only three valid values, the average of those three is taken). Averages are separately calculated for the daily numerators (adult patients hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19) and denominators (staffed adult ICU beds). The average percentage can then be taken as the ratio of these two values for the entire jurisdiction.
    • COVID-19 ICU Bed Occupancy absolute change from prior week: The absolute change in the percent of staffed ICU beds occupied by patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 represents the week-over-week absolute difference between the average occupancy of patients with confirmed COVID-19 in staffed adult ICU beds for the past 7 days, compared with the prior week, in the in the entire jurisdiction.

    Note: October 27, 2023: Due to a data processing error, reported values for avg_percent_inpatient_beds_occupied_covid_confirmed will appear lower than previously reported values by an average difference of less than 1%. Therefore, previously reported values for avg_percent_inpatient_beds_occupied_covid_confirmed may have been overestimated and should be interpreted with caution.

    October 27, 2023: Due to a data processing error, reported values for abs_chg_avg_percent_inpatient_beds_occupied_covid_confirmed will differ from previously reported values by an average absolute difference of less than 1%. Therefore, previously reported values for abs_chg_avg_percent_inpatient_beds_occupied_covid_confirmed should be interpreted with caution.

    December 29, 2023: Hospitalization data reported to CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) through December 23, 2023, should be interpreted with caution due to potential reporting delays that are impacted by Christmas and New Years holidays. As a result, metrics including new hospital admissions for COVID-19 and influenza and hospital occupancy may be underestimated for the week ending December 23, 2023.

    January 5, 2024: Hospitalization data reported to CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) through December 30, 2023 should be interpreted with caution due to potential reporting delays that are impacted by Christmas and New Years holidays. As a result, metrics including new hospital admissions for COVID-19 and influenza and hospital occupancy may be underestimated for the week ending December 30, 2023.

    Description

    This database is comprised of 603 participants who provided self-report data online in their school classrooms. The data was collected in 2016 and 2017. The dataset is comprised of 208 males (34%) and 395 females (66%). Their ages ranged from 12 to 15 years. Their age in years at baseline is provided. The majority were born in Australia. Data were drawn from students at two Australian independent secondary schools. The data contains total responses for the following scales: The Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS-12; Short form; Carleton et al, 2007) is a 12-item scale measuring two dimensions of Prospective and Inhibitory intolerance of uncertainty. Two subscales of the Children’s Automatic Thoughts Scale (CATS; Schniering & Rapee, 2002) were administered. The Peronalising and Social Threat were each composed of 10 items. UPPS Impulsive Behaviour Scale (Whiteside & Lynam, 2001) which is comprised of 12 items. Dispositional Envy Scale (DES; Smith et al, 1999) which is comprised of 8 items. Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS; Spence, 1998) which is comprised of 44 items. Three subscales totals included were the GAD subscale (labelled SCAS_GAD), the OCD subscale (labelled SCAS_OCD) and the Social Anxiety subscale (labelled SCAS_SA). Each subscale was comprised of 6 items. Avoidance and Fusion Questionnaire for Youth (AFQ-Y; Greco et al., 2008) which is comprised of 17 items. Distress Disclosure Index (DDI; Kahn & Hessling, 2001) which is comprised of 12 items. Repetitive Thinking Questionnaire-10 (RTQ-10; McEvoy et al., 2014) which is comprised of 10 items. The Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale, Straightforward Items (BFNE-S; Rodebaugh et al., 2004) which is comprised of 8 items. Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (SMFQ; Angold et al., 1995) which is comprised by 13 items. The Self-Compassion Scale Short Form (SCS-SF; Raes et al., 2011) which is comprised by 12 items. The subscales include Self Kindness, Self Judgment, Social Media subscales - These subscale scores were based on social media questions composed for this project and also drawn from three separate scales as indicated in the table below. The original scales assessed whether participants experience discomfort and a fear of missing out when disconnected from social media (taken from the Australian Psychological Society Stress and Wellbeing Survey; Australian Psychological Society, 2015a), style of social media use (Tandoc et al., 2015b) and Fear of Missing Out (Przybylski et al., 2013c). The items in each subscale are listed below. Pub_Share Public Sharing When I have a good time it is important for me to share the details onlinec On social media how often do you write a status updateb On social media how often do you post photosb Surveillance_SM On social media how often do you read the newsfeed On social media how often do you read a friend’s status updateb On social media how often do you view a friend’s photob On social media how often do you browse a friend’s timelineb Upset Share On social media how often do you go online to share things that have upset you? Text private On social media how often do you Text friends privately to share things that have upset you? Insight_SM Social Media Reduction I use social media less now because it often made me feel inadequate FOMO I am afraid that I will miss out on something if I don’t stay connected to my online social networksa. I feel worried and uncomfortable when I can’t access my social media accountsa. Neg Eff of SM I find it difficult to relax or sleep after spending time on social networking sitesa. I feel my brain ‘burnout’ with the constant connectivity of social mediaa. I notice I feel envy when I use social media.
    I can easily detach from the envy that appears following the use of social media (reverse scored) DES_SM Envy Mean acts online Feeling envious about another person has led me to post a comment online about another person to make them laugh Feeling envious has led me to post a photo online without someone’s permission to make them angry or to make fun of them Feeling envious has prompted me to keep another student out of things on purpose, excluding her from my group of friends or ignoring them. Substance Use: Two items measuring peer influence on alcohol consumption were adapted from the SHAHRP “Patterns of Alcohol Use” measure (McBride, Farringdon & Midford, 2000). These items were “When I am with friends I am quite likely to drink too much alcohol” and “Substances (alcohol, drugs, medication) are the immediate way I respond to my thoughts about a situation when I feel distressed or upset.

    Description
    Social vulnerability is defined as the disproportionate susceptibility of some social groups to the impacts of hazards, including death, injury, loss, or disruption of livelihood. In this dataset from Climate Ready Boston, groups identified as being more vulnerable are older adults, children, people of color, people with limited English proficiency, people with low or no incomes, people with disabilities, and people with medical illnesses.

    Source:

    The analysis and definitions used in Climate Ready Boston (2016) are based on "A framework to understand the relationship between social factors that reduce resilience in cities: Application to the City of Boston." Published 2015 in the International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction by Atyia Martin, Northeastern University.

    Population Definitions:

    Older Adults:
    Older adults (those over age 65) have physical vulnerabilities in a climate event; they suffer from higher rates of medical illness than the rest of the population and can have some functional limitations in an evacuation scenario, as well as when preparing for and recovering from a disaster. Furthermore, older adults are physically more vulnerable to the impacts of extreme heat. Beyond the physical risk, older adults are more likely to be socially isolated. Without an appropriate support network, an initially small risk could be exacerbated if an older adult is not able to get help.
    Data source: 2008-2012 American Community Survey 5-year Estimates (ACS) data by census tract for population over 65 years of age.
    Attribute label: OlderAdult

    Children:
    Families with children require additional resources in a climate event. When school is cancelled, parents need alternative childcare options, which can mean missing work. Children are especially vulnerable to extreme heat and stress following a natural disaster.
    Data source: 2010 American Community Survey 5-year Estimates (ACS) data by census tract for population under 5 years of age.
    Attribute label: TotChild

    People of Color:
    People of color make up a majority (53 percent) of Boston’s population. People of color are more likely to fall into multiple vulnerable groups as
    well. People of color statistically have lower levels of income and higher levels of poverty than the population at large. People of color, many of whom also have limited English proficiency, may not have ready access in their primary language to information about the dangers of extreme heat or about cooling center resources. This risk to extreme heat can be compounded by the fact that people of color often live in more densely populated urban areas that are at higher risk for heat exposure due to the urban heat island effect.
    Data source: 2008-2012 American Community Survey 5-year Estimates (ACS) data by census tract: Black, Native American, Asian, Island, Other, Multi, Non-white Hispanics.
    Attribute label: POC2

    Limited English Proficiency:
    Without adequate English skills, residents can miss crucial information on how to prepare
    for hazards. Cultural practices for information sharing, for example, may focus on word-of-mouth communication. In a flood event, residents can also face challenges communicating with emergency response personnel. If residents are more socially
    isolated, they may be less likely to hear about upcoming events. Finally, immigrants, especially ones who are undocumented, may be reluctant to use government services out of fear of deportation or general distrust of the government or emergency personnel.
    Data Source: 2008-2012 American Community Survey 5-year Estimates (ACS) data by census tract, defined as speaks English only or speaks English “very well”.
    Attribute label: LEP

    Low to no Income:
    A lack of financial resources impacts a household’s ability to prepare for a disaster event and to support friends and neighborhoods. For example, residents without televisions, computers, or data-driven mobile phones may face challenges getting news about hazards or recovery resources. Renters may have trouble finding and paying deposits for replacement housing if their residence is impacted by flooding. Homeowners may be less able to afford insurance that will cover flood damage. Having low or no income can create difficulty evacuating in a disaster event because of a higher reliance on public transportation. If unable to evacuate, residents may be more at risk without supplies to stay in their homes for an extended period of time. Low- and no-income residents can also be more vulnerable to hot weather if running air conditioning or fans puts utility costs out of reach.
    Data source: 2008-2012 American Community Survey 5-year Estimates (ACS) data by census tract for low-to- no income populations. The data represents a calculated field that combines people who were 100% below the poverty level and those who were 100–149% of the poverty level.
    Attribute label: Low_to_No

    People with Disabilities:
    People with disabilities are among the most vulnerable in an emergency; they sustain disproportionate rates of illness, injury, and death in disaster events.46 People with disabilities can find it difficult to adequately prepare for a disaster event, including moving to a safer place. They are more likely to be left behind or abandoned during evacuations. Rescue and relief resources—like emergency transportation or shelters, for example— may not be universally accessible. Research has revealed a historic pattern of discrimination against people with disabilities in times of resource scarcity, like after a major storm and flood.
    Data source: 2008-2012 American Community Survey 5-year Estimates (ACS) data by census tract for total civilian non-institutionalized population, including: hearing difficulty, vision difficulty, cognitive difficulty, ambulatory difficulty, self-care difficulty, and independent living difficulty.
    Attribute label: TotDis

    Medical Illness:
    Symptoms of existing medical illnesses are often exacerbated by hot temperatures. For example, heat can trigger asthma attacks or increase already high blood pressure due to the stress of high temperatures put on the body. Climate events can interrupt access to normal sources of healthcare and even life-sustaining medication. Special planning is required for people experiencing medical illness. For example, people dependent on dialysis will have different evacuation and care needs than other Boston residents in a climate event.
    Data source: Medical illness is a proxy measure which is based on EASI data accessed through Simply Map. Health data at the local level in Massachusetts is not available beyond zip codes. EASI modeled the health statistics for the U.S. population based upon age, sex, and race probabilities using U.S. Census Bureau data. The probabilities are modeled against the census and current year and five year forecasts. Medical illness is the sum of asthma in children, asthma in adults, heart disease, emphysema, bronchitis, cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, and liver disease. A limitation is that these numbers may be over-counted as the result of people potentially having more than one medical illness. Therefore, the analysis may have greater numbers of people with medical illness within census tracts than actually present. Overall, the analysis was based on the relationship between social factors.

    Description

    [Updated 28/01/25 to fix an issue in the ‘Lower’ values, which were not fully representing the range of uncertainty. ‘Median’ and ‘Higher’ values remain unchanged. The size of the change varies by grid cell and fixed period/global warming levels but the average difference between the 'lower' values before and after this update is 0.0.]What does the data show? The Annual Count of Tropical Nights is the number of days per year where the minimum daily temperature is above 20°C. It measures how many times the threshold is exceeded (not by how much). It measures how many times the threshold is exceeded (not by how much) in a year. The results should be interpreted as an approximation of the projected number of days when the threshold is exceeded as there will be many factors such as natural variability and local scale processes that the climate model is unable to represent.The Annual Count of Tropical Nights is calculated for two baseline (historical) periods 1981-2000 (corresponding to 0.51°C warming) and 2001-2020 (corresponding to 0.87°C warming) and for global warming levels of 1.5°C, 2.0°C, 2.5°C, 3.0°C, 4.0°C above the pre-industrial (1850-1900) period. This enables users to compare the future number of tropical nights to previous values. What are the possible societal impacts?The Annual Count of Tropical Nights indicates increased health risks and heat stress due to high night-time temperatures. It is based on exceeding a minimum daily temperature of 20°C, i.e. the temperature does not fall below 20°C for the entire day. Impacts include:Increased heat related illnesses, hospital admissions or death for vulnerable people.Increased heat stress, it is important the body has time to recover from high daytime temperatures during the lower temperatures at night.Other metrics such as the Annual Count of Summer Days (days above 25°C), Annual Count of Hot Summer Days (days above 30°C) and the Annual Count of Extreme Summer Days (days above 35°C) also indicate impacts from high temperatures, however they use different temperature thresholds.What is a global warming level?The Annual Count of Tropical Nights is calculated from the UKCP18 regional climate projections using the high emissions scenario (RCP 8.5) where greenhouse gas emissions continue to grow. Instead of considering future climate change during specific time periods (e.g. decades) for this scenario, the dataset is calculated at various levels of global warming relative to the pre-industrial (1850-1900) period. The world has already warmed by around 1.1°C (between 1850–1900 and 2011–2020), whilst this dataset allows for the exploration of greater levels of warming.The global warming levels available in this dataset are 1.5°C, 2°C, 2.5°C, 3°C and 4°C. The data at each warming level was calculated using a 21 year period. These 21 year periods are calculated by taking 10 years either side of the first year at which the global warming level is reached. This time will be different for different model ensemble members. To calculate the value for the Annual Count of Tropical Nights, an average is taken across the 21 year period. Therefore, the Annual Count of Tropical Nights show the number of tropical nights that could occur each year, for each given level of warming. We cannot provide a precise likelihood for particular emission scenarios being followed in the real world future. However, we do note that RCP8.5 corresponds to emissions considerably above those expected with current international policy agreements. The results are also expressed for several global warming levels because we do not yet know which level will be reached in the real climate as it will depend on future greenhouse emission choices and the sensitivity of the climate system, which is uncertain. Estimates based on the assumption of current international agreements on greenhouse gas emissions suggest a median warming level in the region of 2.4-2.8°C, but it could either be higher or lower than this level.What are the naming conventions and how do I explore the data?This data contains a field for each global warming level and two baselines. They are named ‘Tropical Nights’, the warming level or baseline, and ‘upper’ ‘median’ or ‘lower’ as per the description below. E.g. ‘Tropical Nights 2.5 median’ is the median value for the 2.5°C warming level. Decimal points are included in field aliases but not field names e.g. ‘Tropical Nights 2.5 median’ is ‘TropicalNights_25_median’. To understand how to explore the data, see this page: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/457e7a2bc73e40b089fac0e47c63a578Please note, if viewing in ArcGIS Map Viewer, the map will default to ‘Tropical Nights 2.0°C median’ values.What do the ‘median’, ‘upper’, and ‘lower’ values mean?Climate models are numerical representations of the climate system. To capture uncertainty in projections for the future, an ensemble, or group, of climate models are run. Each ensemble member has slightly different starting conditions or model set-ups. Considering all of the model outcomes gives users a range of plausible conditions which could occur in the future. For this dataset, the model projections consist of 12 separate ensemble members. To select which ensemble members to use, the Annual Count of Tropical Nights was calculated for each ensemble member and they were then ranked in order from lowest to highest for each location. The ‘lower’ fields are the second lowest ranked ensemble member. The ‘upper’ fields are the second highest ranked ensemble member. The ‘median’ field is the central value of the ensemble.This gives a median value, and a spread of the ensemble members indicating the range of possible outcomes in the projections. This spread of outputs can be used to infer the uncertainty in the projections. The larger the difference between the lower and upper fields, the greater the uncertainty.‘Lower’, ‘median’ and ‘upper’ are also given for the baseline periods as these values also come from the model that was used to produce the projections. This allows a fair comparison between the model projections and recent past.

    Description

    Anxiety affects human capabilities and behavior as much as it affects productivity and quality of life. It can be considered as the main cause of depression and suicide. Anxious states are easily detectable by humans due to their acquired cognition, humans interpret the interlocutor’s tone of speech, gesture, facial expressions and recognize their mental state. There is a need for non-invasive reliable techniques that perform the complex task of anxiety detection. DASPS database contains recorded Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals of 23 participants during anxiety elicitation by means of face-to-face psychological stimuli.DASPS mean to create a starting point for new researches in the field of anxiety detection.Neuro headset setup:The award winning EMOTIV EPOC+ is designed for scalable and contextual human brain research and provides access to professional grade brain data with a quick and easy to use design.Emotiv Epoc have 14 (+2 references) sensors placed at this locations: AF3, AF4, F3, F4, FC5, FC6, F7, F8, T7, T8, P7, P8, O1, O2 with a sampling rate of 128 SPS (2048 Hz internal) and a resolution of 14 bits 1 LSB = 0.51μV. Emotiv Epoc is a wireless device with 2.4GHz band.Stimulation Conditions:The recording is done during the annual workshop of Research Groups in Intelligent Machines Lab. In an isolated place, participants were asked to conduct the experiment individually in the presence of the psychotherapist.Participants were asked to minimize eyes blinks and body gestures in order to record signals with minimum artifacts as possible.Experimental Protocol:The participant is prepared to start the experiment, with closed eyes and minimizing gesture and speech. The psychotherapist starts by reciting the first situation and helps the subject imagining it. This phase is divided into two stages: recitation by the psychotherapist for the first 15 seconds and Recall by the subject for the last 15 seconds.When time is over, the subject is asked to rate how he felt during stimulation using the Self Assessment Manikin (SAM). It has two rows for rating: Valence and Arousal. This trial is repeated until the sixth situation. At the end of the experiment, some items from HAM-A are re-evaluated by the psychotherapist to adjust the participant’s anxiety level.Database contents:The database contains .edf files of the raw EEG data collected from the 23 participants. Raw data and preprocessed data stored on .mat format are also provided in this database.We provided a matlab script for the segmentation of each EEG signal into 6 segments corresponding to the 6 situations.Citations:All documents and papers that uses the Database for Anxious States based on a Psychological Stimulation (DASPS database) will acknowledge the use of the database by including an appropriate citation to the following:[1]: Asma Baghdadi, Yassine Aribi, Rahma Fourati, Najla Halouani, Patrick Siarry, and Adel M.

    The devices were deployed in 30 care homes across England: eleven in Greater London, nine in the north of England as far north as Newcastle-upon-Tyne, six in the Midlands, and four in the south of England including on the Isle of Wight. The locations monitored consisted of 22 offices (staff-only areas such as manager’s offices, administrator offices, nurse stations), 30 lounges (communal areas such as lounges, dining rooms and lounge/diners), and 30 bedrooms (single rooms, with a range of occupancy – some vacant, some occupied only at night, others occupied 24/7 depending on resident needs). In addition, outdoor temperatures were monitored at each of the 30 care homes.
    Description

    The dataset consists of air temperatures recorded longitudinally and reported at hourly intervals using Hobo MX1101, Hobo MX1102A and Hobo MX2301 devices. The monitoring period covered 1st May 2022 to 30th September 2022 inclusive – the full non-heating season in England.

    The devices were deployed in 30 care homes across England: eleven in Greater London, nine in the north of England as far north as Newcastle-upon-Tyne, six in the Midlands, and four in the south of England including on the Isle of Wight. The locations monitored consisted of 22 offices (staff-only areas such as manager’s offices, administrator offices, nurse stations), 30 lounges (communal areas such as lounges, dining rooms and lounge/diners), and 30 bedrooms (single rooms, with a range of occupancy – some vacant, some occupied only at night, others occupied 24/7 depending on resident needs). In addition, outdoor temperatures were monitored at each of the 30 care homes.

    As a result of global climate change, the UK is expected to experience hotter and drier summers, and heatwaves are expected to occur with greater frequency, intensity and duration. In 2003 and 2018, 2,091 and 863 heat-related deaths, respectively, were reported in England alone as a result of heatwaves, meaning future temperature increases could lead to a parallel rise in heat-related mortality. The UK also currently has a rapidly ageing population, with people aged 75 or over expected to account for 13% of the total population by 2035. Older populations are more vulnerable to climate-induced effects as they are more likely to have underlying, chronic health complications, making them more vulnerable to heat stress. The indoor environment is a principle moderator of heat exposure in older populations, who tend to spend the majority of their time indoors. Poor building design, the lack of effective heat management and diverging needs and preferences between staff and residents in care settings may contribute to increased indoor heat exposure with detrimental health impacts falling on the most vulnerable residents. Maladaptation to a warming climate, such as the uptake of air conditioning, could increase fuel bills in care homes, increase operational costs for businesses in the already financially stretched care sector, and increase building carbon emissions, thus undermining government efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

    The one-year pilot project 'Climate Resilience of Care Settings' and previous small-scale studies led by our research team have shown that UK care homes are already overheating even under non-extreme summers. A key target for climate adaptation in care settings is to limit such risks by introducing passive cooling strategies via building design. However, preliminary modelling as part of the pilot project also demonstrated that common passive cooling strategies may not adequately mitigate overheating risk in the 2050s and 2080s. Further research into advanced passive cooling strategies, combined with human behaviour and organisational change is required to identify optimum climate adaptation pathways for UK's care provision.

    The main aim of the project is to quantify climate related heat risks in care settings nationwide and enhance understanding of human behaviour, organisational capacity and governance to enable the UK's care provision to develop equitable adaptation pathways to rising heat stress under climate change. Building on the foundations of the pilot project, this novel, interdisciplinary project will collect, for the first time in the UK, longitudinal temperature and humidity data in a panel of 50 care settings in order to quantify the recurring risk of summertime overheating. We will also identify and assess social, institutional and cultural barriers and opportunities underpinning the governance of adaptation to a warmer climate in care and extra-care homes through surveys with residents, frontline care staff, managers and policy stakeholders. Within sub-samples of this panel, we will use innovative measurement techniques to collect residents' physiological data and study their relation with heat exposure and health impacts. Also for the first time in the UK, we will create a building stock model of the UK's care provision able to predict future overheating risks in care settings under a range of future climate change scenarios. This will help evaluate the effectiveness of near, medium and long term future overheating mitigation strategies and policies on thermal comfort and health outcomes. Throughout the project, we will continue to develop and expand the stakeholder community that was created during the pilot project. Through ongoing dialogue with our diverse network of stakeholders, we will explore organisational capacity and structures, and how these influence action and policy, in order to generate best practice guidance for practitioners, businesses and policymakers.

    SUMMARY This table contains data on the percent of residents aged 16 years and older mode of transportation to work for California, its regions, counties, cities/towns, and census tracts. Data is from the U.S. Census Bureau, Decennial Census and American Community Survey. The table is part of a series of indicators in the Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project of the Office of Health Equity. Commute trips to work represent 19% of travel miles in the United States. The predominant mode – the automobile - offers extraordinary personal mobility and independence, but it is also associated with health hazards, such as air pollution, motor vehicle crashes, pedestrian injuries and fatalities, and sedentary lifestyles. Automobile commuting has been linked to stress-related health problems. Active modes of transport – bicycling and walking alone and in combination with public transit – offer opportunities for physical activity, which is associated with lowering rates of heart disease and stroke, diabetes, colon and breast cancer, dementia and depression. Risk of injury and death in collisions are higher in urban areas with more concentrated vehicle and pedestrian activity. Bus and rail passengers have a lower risk of injury in collisions than motorcyclists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Minority communities bear a disproportionate share of pedestrian-car fatalities; Native American male pedestrians experience four times the death rate Whites or Asian pedestrians, and African-Americans and Latinos experience twice the rate as Whites or Asians. More information about the data table and a data dictionary can be found in the About/Attachments section.

    There is an increasing concern about a range of wider impacts of the pandemic response. Among these is the impact on problematic substance use. Feelings of isolation, stress and anxiety, lack of a regular schedule, boredom and limited available or accessible services for people who use substances may impact harms. Deaths, hospitalizations and visits to the emergency department are examples of harms.

    Description

    NATSEM estimates of housing stress (2006 and 2010) and estimates of poverty variables (2006) of SLAs, excluding SLAs in Brisbane and Canberra, in Australia. These data were derived from spatial microsimulation using 2006 Census benchmarks (SPATIALMSM08b) applied to Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Confidentialised Unit Record File data. For housing stress, the indicator is based on a commonly used measure of housing stress known as the 30/40 rule. Using this definition, a household is said to be in housing stress if it spends more than 30 per cent of its gross income on housing costs and if it also falls into the bottom 40 per cent of the equivalised disposable household income distribution. The poverty indicator represents the percentage of people in households where income is below the poverty line. The poverty line has been set at half the median OECD equivalised household disposable income.

    Description
    The Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Surveys (APMS) (formerly known as the Surveys of Psychiatric Morbidity) are a series of surveys which provide data on the prevalence of both treated and untreated psychiatric disorders in the adult population (aged 16 and over).

    The first survey was conducted in 1993, covering 16 to 64-year-olds. A further survey was conducted in 2000 (covering 16 to 74-year-olds) and included respondents living in England, Scotland and Wales. From 2007 onwards, the surveys have been commissioned by NHS Digital on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), including people aged over 16 (no upper age limit) living in England. For 2007 and 2014, the surveys were conducted by NatCen Social Research on behalf of NHS Digital. The surveys capture information on common mental disorders, mental health treatment and service use, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychotic disorder, autism, personality disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, alcohol, drugs, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, self-harm, and comorbidity.

    Further information can be found on the NHS Digital Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Surveys webpage.

    A similar series covering young people aged 5 to 15/16, the Mental Health of Children and Young People Surveys (MHCYP), is also commissioned by NHS Digital.

    The Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey, 2007 (APMS 2007) is the third survey of psychiatric morbidity in adults living in private households. The main aim of the survey was to collect data on poor mental health among adults aged 16 and over living in private households in England.

    The specific objectives of the survey were:

    • to estimate the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity according to diagnostic category in the adult household population of England. The survey included assessment of common mental disorders; psychosis; borderline and antisocial personality disorder; Asperger syndrome, substance misuse and dependency; and suicidal thoughts, attempts and self-harm
    • to screen for characteristics of eating disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and problem gambling
    • to examine trends in the psychiatric disorders that have been included in previous survey years (1993 and 2000)
    • to identify the nature and extent of social disadvantage associated with mental illness
    • to gauge the level and nature of service use in relation to mental health problems, with an emphasis on primary care
    • to collect data on key current and lifetime factors that might be associated with mental health problems, such as experience of stressful life events, abusive relationships, and work stress
    • to collect data on factors that might be protective against poor mental health, such as social support networks and neighbourhood cohesion
    Further information can be found on the Information Centre for Health and Social Care survey web page.

    For the fourth edition (September 2017), three new weighting variables were added to the data, to be used for analysis when combining the 2007 and 2014 APMS datasets (the 2014 survey is not yet available from the UK Data Service). In addition, derived alcohol variables DVAudit1, AUDITgp, SADQCSC, SADQGP, AUDSAD2, AUDSAD3 and DRNKPROB were replaced to correct previous errors. The documentation has also been updated to cover these changes.

Description

The primary data source for this study is the Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study (NILS), which in 2001 defined a representative cohort of c.28% of the population. It is formed from the linkage of the universal Health Card registration system, 2001 Census returns, and vital statistics data. NILS contains a unique Health and Care Number that enables linkage to other health service databases. It is maintained by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA). The 2001 Census records provided most of the attributes of the NILS cohort members, also contextual information relating to household composition and interpersonal relationships, and characteristics of the household and area of residence.

The vital events linked to NILS were used to determine whether a cohort member had been bereaved between April 2001 (the time of the Census) and the end of December 2009. The 2001 Census asked questions about relationship to other people living in the household, these questions were used to determine who a cohort member lived with, and the vital events records identified co-resident family members’ deaths. Approximately 96% of death records are routinely linked to the NILS dataset using a mixture of exact and probabilistic matching.

Data relating to medications that have been prescribed by a General Practitioner and dispensed from community pharmacies have been collated centrally in an Enhanced Prescribing Database (EPD) since 2009. Each prescription record contains the individual’s Health and Care Number, a General Practice (GP) identifier, the drug name and British National Formulary (BNF) category. Information was extracted for antidepressant and anxiolytic medications (BNF categories 4.1.2 and 4.3) for the period January 1st to February 28th 2010. Health and Care Number allowed exact matching between prescribing and NILS records. The linkage process was carried out by the EPD and NILS data custodians. The linked dataset was then anonymised before being supplied to the researchers, and was held in a secure setting (9). At no time were patient identifiable data available.

The data used for the Grief study is not publicly available, but researchers can make a request to link data for themselves by contacting the Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study Research Support Unit

Everybody will face bereavement at some stage; but for some people, this can be a more difficult process. There are many factors that can influence how people cope with the loss of a loved one, including level of family support, financial resources, stress, and the circumstances surrounding death.By studying use of prescription medications to help with mental health, we can get a better understanding of how factors such as age, gender, family support, employment and religion affect how people cope after bereavement. By looking at circumstances of bereavement this study will also discover if the factors that help people cope - such as family support - are more or less important depending on how they lost their loved ones.The Grief Study is based on data from the Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study, this holds information on around 500,000 people. By linking this data with the Northern Ireland Mortality Study and Health and Social care information on prescriptions, the Grief Study aims to learn more about bereavement, mental health, complicated grief, and longer term outcomes for people who have lost a loved one.
