X Abstract

This paper considers models of the variable incidence of health outcomes in geographical areas and of variable regression effects of socio-economic variables on such outcomes. It adopts a Bayesian approach to variation in relative risk and regression effects, and assesses different prior specifications of risk (e.g. a latent class structure versus a spatially correlated structure). Implications are considered for smoothing and mapping rare health outcomes. The analysis is for electoral wards in London, with the health-deprivation link forming the focus for regression effects. Implications for inferences about risk factors and for health-need ratings (before and after smoothing) are also considered.
