aMultilevel model with super output area as random intercept in unadjusted and adjusted models

bAdjusted for age, gender, season, education (degree, A-level, GCSE, apprenticeship, none), car ownership (none,1 or more in household), deprivation (quintiles), marital status (married, single, divorced or widowed or separated), accommodation (owner, mortgage, rented/other), limiting long term illness (yes/no), general health (fitted as a trend across 6 categories: excellent to very poor), employed(yes, no) and weekly household income (<£230, £231 to £580, >£581)

cOdds ratio calculated using multilevel logistic regression model with super output area as random intercept. Adjusted models contain same variables as in b

d Scale 14–70 with higher scores indicating greater mental wellbeing

e Scale 0–100 with higher scores indicating better health

fa 1 = very big problem to 4 = not a problem at all; fb 1 = never and 4 = most days

g 1 = strongly disagree; 5 = strongly agree
