The '''Underprivileged Area Score''' is an indicy to measure [[socio-economic]] variation across small geographical areas. The score is an outcome of the need identified in the [[Acheson Committee Report]] (into [[General Practitioner]] (GP) services in the UK), to create an indicy to identify 'underprivileged areas' where there were high numbers of patients and hence pressure on General Practitioner services. |
|||
Its creation involved the random distribution of a questionnaire among general practitioners throughout the UK. This was then used to obtain statistical weights for a calculation of a composite index of underprilieged areas based on GPs' perceptions of workload and patient need (Jarman, 1984) |
