背景剥夺是多维的，因此很难量化。在英国，四个组成国家中的每一个都使用各自独特的多重剥夺指数(IMD)来衡量贫困，该指数旨在促进针对该特定国家的政策。尽管这四个IMD分数不能直接比较，但在某些情况下，在整个英国进行比较可能是可取的。方法利用公开的数据，开发了一种生成全英国IMD评分的方法。调整后的IMD评分使用各国IMD评分的就业和收入领域，以及就业和收入对整体IMD评分的线性回归得到的系数和残差值。结果以苏格兰IMD为基线，生成调整后的全英国范围的分数。苏格兰模型解释的方差比例为0.972。在英格兰、北爱尔兰和威尔士，调整后的IMD与原始IMD之间的联系的等级相关系数(Kendall‘s tau)分别为0.97、0.98和0.94。威尔士语和英语IMD分数的绝对变化
Background Deprivation is multi-dimensional, and as such can be challenging to quantify. In the UK, each of the four constituent countries measures deprivation using their own distinct index of multiple deprivation (IMD), designed to facilitate targeting of policies within that particular country. Although these four IMD scores are not directly comparable, there are circumstances where comparison across the whole of the UK may be desirable. Methods A method of generating a UK-wide IMD score was developed using publically available data. An adjusted IMD score was generated using the employment and income domains of the individual country IMD scores, along with the coefficients and residual values from a linear regression of employment and income on the overall IMD score. Results The Scottish IMD was used as a baseline to generate an adjusted UK-wide score. The proportion of variance explained for the Scotland model was 0.972. The rank correlation coefficient (Kendall’s tau) for the association between adjusted and original IMD was 0.97, 0.98 and 0.94 for England, Northern Ireland and Wales respectively. The absolute change in Welsh and English IMD scores
