What are the social determinants of health?
conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age which are
shaped by the distribution of money, power and resources at global,
national and local levels, mostly responsible for health inequities
Summarize the major determinants of population health.
50%- life (job, income, education, etc)
25%- health care (access, wait times, etc)
15%- biology (genetics)
10%- environment (air quality, etc)
Discuss the four key ideas of determinants of health mentioned in the
Lalonde report.
a) human biology: genetic predisposition
b) lifestyle: personal health practices such as smoking and exercising
c) environment: social environment: age structure, gender structure,
employment and
working conditions, physical environment: what we drink, the air we
breathe and our exposure to pollution and the built environment
d) health care: access to physician and hospital care
Draw a diagram showing the determinants of population health.
----------
According to Antonovsky's model of health, what are determinants of ill
health and good health? Draw a diagram to distinguish between
pathogenesis and salutogenesis.
,it is easier to measure the indicators of ill health than indicators of good
health
indicators of ill health include morbidity and mortality rates
Differentiate between personal and structural determinants of health;
and how are they are connected?
Personal determinants; Evident at the individual
level, Includes genetic makeup, beliefs, attitudes, and personal health
practices
structural determinants; Evident at the societal level, Includes aspects of
the
social and economic environment: income distribution, rates of
unemployment, etc.)
they interact with eachother to determine health
Differentiate between horizontal and vertical structures of the structural
determinants of health.
Horizontal structures are the more immediate factors that shape health
and well-being. E.g. family environment, the nature of work and
workplace conditions, and quality of housing
• Vertical structures are more distant, macro-level factors that indirectly
influence health and well-being. E.g. political, and economic policies
regarding social welfare or taxation
Differentiate between proximal (downstream) and distal (upstream)
factors.
upstream; policy and programs like schools and governments or social
inequities like class, race gender, etc.
downstream; disease and injury, mortality
How do patriarchal ideologies harm both women's and men's health? Use
examples to support your answer.
Multiple roles of female, especially informal care leads to poor health
Men denying their health issues to display themselves as tough and
independent are features of our cultures ideas of hegemonic masculinity.
, gender
the socially constructed roles and characteristics by which a culture
defines male and female
sex
the biological differences that distinguish males from females
What are the ethnic differences in health?
1. perception and understanding of symptoms
2. health care behaviour
3. social determinants of health
4. aboriginal people have poorer health outcomes
5. "healthy immigrant effect" that deteriorates over time
Identify and describe the 3 explanations of ethnic differences in health
and illness.
a) the biomedical model examines differences in biophysical traits
b) the cultural behavioral perspective argues that culture shapes
behavior, which shapes health;
c) the socio-economy perspective believes the differences are due to
social class.
• All three models that interact with one another and also include a life
course perspective, or an intersectional model of health
Provide a detailed example of how the 3 explanations may intersect and
work together to produce ethnic disparities in health.
How is the health status of Canada's Aboriginal peoples clear evidence of
the social determinants of health?/What are the underlying causes of the
poor health outcomes of Aboriginal Canadians?
social exclusion, colonization, intergenerational trauma, and racism
Discuss the impacts of social exclusion in the poor health outcomes of
Aboriginal Canadians.
