Dr. Ambreen Sayani, MD PhD
6th April 2023
Session objectives
• Discuss theories and definitions of social class
• Describe the link between social class and
health inequities
• Use Bartley’s models of health inequities to
understand how social class influences cancer
risk and mortality using lung cancer as an
example.

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY SOCIAL
CLASS?
Social class is a term used to describe a group of people
who occupy a similar rank in terms of economic
(wealth), social (personal networks) or cultural
(knowledge) capital. This is determined by the
distribution of power, privilege and prestige across a
society.

Social inequity is a term which is used to describe the
unequal distribution of power, privilege and prestige
across a society. Inherently, individuals who occupy
positions of social advantage by virtue of their personal
wealth and credentials are more able to access
resources and services thereby creating further
differentiation between social groups.

Management 8(9), 550–556
When social inequality becomes systematically
entrenched in a society such that it is institutionalised
into policies and procedures that continue to
differentiate between social groups, it is called social
structural inequality or social stratification.

HOW IS SOCIAL CLASS MEASURED?
Measures of social class
• Occupation
• Education
• Income

HOW SIGNIFICANT ARE THE
DIFFERENCES IN HEALTH OUTCOMES?
Income and mortality
Canadians were divided into five
quintiles of approximately equal
numbers from poorest to
wealthiest.

Reports, 24(7), 14–22.
Income and mortality
Over a 16 year period, the number
of deaths of the wealthiest 20% of
Canadians was compared to the
other 80% of Canadians.

Reports, 24(7), 14–22.
Income and mortality
If all Canadians were as healthy as
the top 20% of income earners,
there would be approximately
40,000fewer deaths each
year, every year.

• To act upstream means to act at a community level.
• This means focusing on policies which shape the distribution
of the social determinants of health.
• An example would be providing all citizens with a living wage.

MIDSTREAM
➢ To act midstream means to act at the individual level.
➢ This means focusing on ways to improve health
opportunities for individuals.
➢ An example would be promoting health lifestyle
behaviours for people to adopt.
DOWNSTREAM
➢ To act downstream means to
target disease treatment.
➢ This can mean focusing on
cellular mechanisms.
➢ An example would be drugs
that target biological pathways.

➢ As we go further and further downstream health
benefits become more personalised.
➢ As such, the benefits are limited to those who can
adopt change, or get timely treatment.
➢ Strategies that are upstream however tend to benefit
everyone, and as such health benefits are of a larger

In summary
• Social, political and economic decisions shape how a
society is structured.
• Unequal distribution of resources (social capital/
material wealth) create hierarchical differences between
population groups – this has implications for health.
• Social class profoundly influences cancer risk,
prevention, early detection and access to quality care.
• Loci of action can be downstream, midstream and
upstream.
• Unless there is upstream action to evenly distribute
resources we will not make a significant impact on the
fundamental causes of inequities in cancer care.
Remember
• Income inequality is
NOT inevitable, it
occurs as result of
social and political
choices.
• This means that we
can make better
choices moving
forward.
Call to action
• Recognise the forces that create income inequality;
• Understand how income inequality runs through the
whole of society impacting everyone not just the most
deprived;
• Improve communication between different sectors
regarding the implications of income inequality;
• Use the media to educate Canadians about the
consequences of income inequality;
• Lobby governments to maintain community, health and
social services that positively affect health and well-
being;
• Advocate for a health-in-all policies approach.

  • 1. Social Inequalities and Cancer Dr. Ambreen Sayani, MD PhD 6th April 2023
  • 2. Session objectives • Discuss theories and definitions of social class • Describe the link between social class and health inequities • Use Bartley’s models of health inequities to understand how social class influences cancer risk and mortality using lung cancer as an example.
  • 6. WHAT DO WE MEAN BY SOCIAL CLASS?
  • 7. Social class is a term used to describe a group of people who occupy a similar rank in terms of economic (wealth), social (personal networks) or cultural (knowledge) capital. This is determined by the distribution of power, privilege and prestige across a society. Social class 7 Source: Sayani, A. (2020). Patient Perspectives on Health Seeking Behavior: Understanding Lived Experiences of Poverty and Lung Cancer Screening. https://yorkspace.library.yorku.ca/xmlui/handle/10315/37705
  • 8. Social inequity is a term which is used to describe the unequal distribution of power, privilege and prestige across a society. Inherently, individuals who occupy positions of social advantage by virtue of their personal wealth and credentials are more able to access resources and services thereby creating further differentiation between social groups. Social inequity 8 Source: Sayani, A. (2019) Health equity in national cancer control plans: An analysis of the Ontario Cancer Plan. International Journal of Health Policy and Management 8(9), 550–556
  • 9. When social inequality becomes systematically entrenched in a society such that it is institutionalised into policies and procedures that continue to differentiate between social groups, it is called social structural inequality or social stratification.

  • 71. In summary • Social, political and economic decisions shape how a society is structured. • Unequal distribution of resources (social capital/ material wealth) create hierarchical differences between population groups – this has implications for health. • Social class profoundly influences cancer risk, prevention, early detection and access to quality care. • Loci of action can be downstream, midstream and upstream. • Unless there is upstream action to evenly distribute resources we will not make a significant impact on the fundamental causes of inequities in cancer care.
  • 72. Remember • Income inequality is NOT inevitable, it occurs as result of social and political choices. • This means that we can make better choices moving forward.
  • 73. Call to action • Recognise the forces that create income inequality; • Understand how income inequality runs through the whole of society impacting everyone not just the most deprived; • Improve communication between different sectors regarding the implications of income inequality; • Use the media to educate Canadians about the consequences of income inequality; • Lobby governments to maintain community, health and social services that positively affect health and well- being; • Advocate for a health-in-all policies approach.
