There are two current projects on the basis of the health interview survey of 2008. The first project is on social inequalities in diabetes prevalence and screening. Both socioeconomic and ethnic inequalities are looked into. The relationship between depression and diabetes is also examined. The second project explores the relationship between ethnicity and suicidal ideation among youngsters.
