The Whitehall study is a groundâbreaking longitudinal (prospective cohort) study that clearly demonstrated the association between social determinants of health (the social gradient) and morbidity and mortality (cardiovascular disease) in a population of British civil servants (Breeze et al., 2001; Chandola et al., 2008; (Marmot et al., 1978).

Read these papers and answer the following questions.

Question 1: What is the sampling frame for the Whitehall studies?

a. Clinical and mortality records for British civil service employees

b. Employment records for the British civil service

c. 19,029 males for Whitehall I and 10,308 males and females for Whitehall II

d. British civil servants evaluated across seven phases from 1967â2004

Question 2: How was disease risk assessed (data collection and analysis) for the Marmot paper?

a. Data was collected using medical and behavioural questionnaires and clinical examination. Relative risk was calculated to assess disease risk.

b. Data was collected using medical and behavioural questionnaires, a job stress questionnaire and clinical examination. Cox proportional hazard models were used to calculate hazard ratios and logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios.

c. Data was collected using medical and behavioural questionnaires and clinical examination. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios.

Question 3: How was disease risk assessed (data collection and analysis) for the Breeze paper?

a. Data was collected using medical and behavioural questionnaires and clinical examination. Relative risk was calculated to assess disease risk.

c. Data was collected using medical and behavioural questionnaires and clinical examination. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios.

Question 4: How was disease risk assessed (data collection and analysis) for the Chandola paper?

When we consider whether we can generalise the results of these studies to other populations, we need to consider:

a. The gender distribution of the population

b. Ethnic diversity within the population

c. Economic similarity of the population

d. The type of work done by the people in the population

e. Whether the population is in a rural or remote location

f. The class structure of the population

Question 6: Could we use an existing Australian research study cohort, such as the 45 and Up study, to explore the same things as explored in the Whitehall studies? Why/ why not?

Historically cancer has been thought to be a death sentence. With recent advances, many forms of cancer can be effectively treated (with complete remission) or can be thought of as a chronic illness that does not prematurely end a person's life. With that said, many individuals do not seek medical attention until much later stages of cancer, which leads to a poorer prognosis. In this discussion setting, I want to challenge each of you to come up with at least one reason why individuals refrain from cancer testing, or why a specific behavior that increases the risk of cancer still occurs in the general population, and/or an effective educational program to encourage individuals to seek earlier medical intervention for a specific cancer. Replies should focus on building upon earlier suggestions.
