TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the effects of population-level tobacco control interventions on social inequalities in smoking and find no strong evidence of differential effects was found for smoking restrictions in workplaces and public places, although those in higher occupational groups may be more likely to change their attitudes or behaviour.

TL;DR: Evidence is identified suggesting that some organisational-level participation interventions may benefit employee health, as predicted by the demand–control–support model, but may not protect employees from generally poor working conditions.

TL;DR: The harvest plot is a novel and useful method for synthesising evidence about the differential effects of population-level interventions and contributes to the challenge of making best use of all available evidence by incorporating all relevant data.

TL;DR: Population-level tobacco control interventions have the potential to benefit more disadvantaged groups and thereby contribute to reducing health inequalities, with some evidence that boys and non-white young people may be more sensitive to price.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the health and social impacts on residents following improvements to the physical fabric of the house, which is an important data resource to test assumptions about the potential for health improvement.
