Week 1: Intro to SDoH

• our most important challenge to create a healthy society is to reduce
inequities in health between high- and low-income Canadians
• Canadians must become more active individually and collectively in maintaining and enhancing their health by adopting healthy lifestyles and protecting air and water quality
• those who are most likely to benefit from lifestyle changes are least likely to be able to make them
• (b) and (c)
2. Health inequities:
• refer to differences in population health that are avoidable, such as the gap between the health of the richest and the health of the poorest
• arise from conditions over which we have no control
• is a concept that is practically the same as the concept of health inequalities
• result from genetic differences
• would disappear if everyone ate healthily, engaged in physical activity regularly, and consumed alcohol in moderation
3. Neoliberalism (or liberal individualism) does not support the improvement
of population health because:
• it aligns with a conventional view of health that sees health outcomes as a mix of genetics and lifestyle determinants of health
• it does not support the strong government action and intervention
needed for public health to do its work
• tax cuts mean that there is not enough government money to fund public health adequately
• it tends to increase the income gap between the richest and the
poorest, which adversely affects population health
• all of the above
• none of the above
