This is the second annual report from the Health Foundation-funded Scottish Health Equity Research Unit (SHERU). Overall, we suggest there have been modest gains in some living-standards, including some hopeful signs of reductions in child poverty, but this is set against persistent, and in places deepening, structural inequalities that continue to drive poor health. Focusing on average outcomes paints a picture of men in Scotland doing relatively well but this obscures a subset of young adult men facing multiple socio-economic challenges who are at high risk of early, preventable deaths.
