SummaryThe conventional belief since the publication of the Black Report is that social inequalities in health have been increasing since 1931–32 although it has been argued that the measure of inequality used is inappropriate. All analyses have been based on mortality rates which, in large part, reflect inequalities in health over the previous 50 years and not current trends. This paper argues that time trends should be assessed with a current health status measure and suggests using height at age 20 as a good measure of the achieved health status of a group. Analysis of a government survey shows that inequalities have stayed the same since 1940, both for men classified by their own occupation and for women classified by their father's occupation.

The development of a health status measure, the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP), is described in terms of both its conceptualization and methodology. The need for a health status measure that is sensitive and appropriate, based on sickness-related behavior, and culturally unbiased, is discussed. A model of sickness behavior is presented as a guide for methodological development. The description of the initial developmental stage of the SIP includes detailed discussion and documentation of the collection, sorting and grouping of items that comprise the SIP, scaling of the items, scoring of the instrument, and testing and revision of the prototype instrument. Results of preliminary tests of reliability, validity, and administrative feasibility are presented. Subsequent steps in revision and finalization, now under way, are outlined.
