Jones, K., et al. (1986). "Long-term psychiatric patients in the community." The British Journal of Psychiatry 149: 537-540. yes A1e B3 C1a
	Studied 150 psychiatric patients (aged 24-82 yrs) in the York, England, district who were discharged from 3 mental hospitals, to assess the quality of their lives in the community. 50 patients were long-stay patients, and 100 patients were elderly with a diagnosis of senile dementia. In-depth interviews and quality of life scales were used. Findings indicate that (1) Ss' own homes scored well on choice and autonomy but not on health care, personal care, activities, and companionship; (2) local authority homes provided personal care but scored poorly on health care, privacy, and activities; (3) private homes provided good personal and health care and activities but were often cramped and lacking in facilities; and (4) mental hospital wards provided best for basic survival needs, health care, and activities but not for personal choice, privacy, or autonomy.

Kumpers, S., et al. (2006). "Integrating dementia care in England and The Netherlands: Four comparative local case studies." Health & Place 12(4): 404-420. yes A1f B3 C3
	The article presents a cross-national comparative study of the implementation of integrated dementia care at local level in England and The Netherlands. Four local case studies (Amsterdam Nieuw West, Leeds West, Maastricht, York) focus on the interaction between the respective national policies with local contexts and policy processes, in order to explain the variety of local outcomes regarding integrated dementia care. Localities are shown as entities with particular institutional contexts and histories (i.e. local configurations), which have specific impacts on processes of policy implementation within the respective national health and social care systems.

Raine, A. and P. H. Venables (1984). "Tonic heart rate level, social class and antisocial behaviour in adolescents." Biological Psychology 18(2): 123-132. yes A1a B11 B3 C1a
	Hypothesized that antisocial behavior in adolescence would be characterized by lower tonic heart-rate levels, especially in higher SES levels where the "social push" toward antisocial behavior would be relatively weaker. The hypothesis was tested using heart-rate data, teacher ratings of antisocial behavior, and a self-report measure of socialization on 101 14-16 yr old males from 1 secondary modern, 1 grammar, and 1 comprehensive school in York, England. Analysis showed that antisocial Ss were characterized by lower tonic heart-rate levels. Further analyses showed that this effect was largely confined to Ss from higher-SES levels, lending support to the biosocial interaction hypothesis. It is suggested that the heart-rate/antisocial behavior relationship is mediated by somatotype or, alternately, that low levels in high-class antisocials may reflect a vagal passive adaptation to mildly aversive events.

Small, N., et al. (2001). "Social exclusion, counselling and psychotherapy." Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy 1(1): 10-16. yes a1b B3 C1a
	The shift to labour market flexibility and freedom of self-expression has generated considerable insecurity, and inequalities are growing. In England there is almost a breakdown in social order at the macro level, yet there is still great emphasis on control in many areas of people's lives. Describes the Tuke Centre Social Project Group, set up at the Tuke Centre in York 5 years ago to provide a forum for exploring aspects of modern life that had a resonance for counsellors and psychotherapists in their work. Describes a conference with members of groups who experience themselves as socially excluded in order to create a dialogue about power, identity, language and choosing to be different. Describes the day and its discussions. The key to combating social exclusion is not to treat everyone the same but to treat everyone as an individual. (Quotes from original text)
