Abstract | Lay perceptions of health inequalities are becoming increasingly important in developing local housing strategies and many coastal areas have attracted recent attention because of high levels of deprivation. This paper draws from the findings of 14 socioeconomically and geographically representative focus groups as part of the wider French British Interreg IIIA project examining health inequalities and health behaviours in South East England and Northern France. Kent coastal areas were identified as being of particular and unique interest, leading to a wider literature review of socio-economic and health inequalities more generally in coastal towns and the effect of geography on health. |
