Items related to Social Determinants of Health: A Comparative Approach
Social Determinants of Health: A Comparative Approach introduces the various elements that determine the health of individuals in their communities. The text takes a macro-level approach, focusing on population health rather than strictly on individual health. Social Determinants of Health focuses on "Anglo-American" countries-Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia-examining the commonalities and differences socially, economically, and politically.
The text begins by outlining the background, theory, and evidence for a population health perspective. This is followed by discussion of environmental factors, such as employment, housing, and diet, and social factors such as gender, support and well-being, and being an Aboriginal person. The text concludes with an overview of the social patterning of health-relevant behaviour and the politics of health-related policy. Written in an accessible manner, Social Determinants of Health further engages students by offering case studies and "Pause and Reflect" boxes, as well as end-of-chapter questions, suggested readings, and websites.

"This is a highly readable text. The engagement with population health and research paradigms is a strong addition to a [social determinants of health] textbook and something that is currently missing in the field."
--Rachel Gorman, York University
"The text does a great job of synthesizing key areas of the literature. The tables, graphs, thought questions, learning objectives, and theory and policy sections are very useful for teaching an introductory SDH course."
