Educational inequalities in high- vs. low-preventable health conditions: Exploring the fundamental cause theory
In one of the first European studies examining the association between socioeconomic status and morbidity for health conditions with high and low levels of preventability, CHAIN researchers Håvard Rydland, Erling Solheim, and Terje Eikemo used 2014 European Social Survey data to explore the links between educational status and health conditions. It found more educational gaps among health conditions that are highly preventable compared to those with low-levels of preventability.
