The document provides an overview of social and cultural factors that influence health. It discusses how social determinants of health are shaped by various social, economic and political forces. Key factors discussed include income, education, employment, social support systems, culture, and the built environment. The document also examines how these social determinants impact health equity and disease patterns in populations. Major international initiatives that aim to promote health equity by addressing social determinants of health are also summarized.
1. The document discusses social determinants of health and health inequalities, defining key terms like social determinants, absolute/relative inequalities, and inequity in health.
2. It identifies several key social determinants of health like poverty, social exclusion, discrimination, public policies, built environment, and health behaviors.
3. Achieving health equity requires addressing social determinants through public policies, equitable health services, and a life course perspective that considers vulnerabilities at different life stages.
Equity is the absence of avoidable, unfair, or remediable differences among groups of people, whether those groups are defined socially, economically, demographically or geographically or by other means of stratification. "Health equity” or “equity in health” implies that ideally, everyone should have a fair opportunity to attain their full health potential and that no one should be disadvantaged from achieving this potential.

Primary health care (PHC) and addressing the social determinants of health (SDH) share a focus on health equity and promoting health through multisectoral action and community participation. While they have common goals, PHC focuses on organizing the health sector to reduce inequities, while SDH examines how broader societal factors impact health equity. Both are needed to comprehensively address the social and structural drivers of health inequities. Pitting PHC against SDH is unproductive - a revitalized PHC must include action on SDH beyond just healthcare services.

Public health is defined as "the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through the organized efforts and informed choices of society." The World Health Organization defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." There are various perspectives on health, including viewing it as a right, a commodity, or an investment. Health is determined by factors including human biology, environment, lifestyle, and healthcare organization. Globalization can impact health both positively, through economic growth and technology, and negatively, such as through the rapid spread of infectious diseases.

Social medicine as a theoretical basis of Health protectionEneutron
Social medicine is a science that studies the social laws of peoples' health and characterizes ways to improve health through rational organization of public health services. Health is defined as a state of complete social, mental and biological well-being, not just the absence of disease. Social medicine has historical, sociological, experimental and economic approaches to studying public health systems and their impact on a population's health status. Statistical analysis of health indicators is used to evaluate and compare the health of different groups.
Social Determinates of Health-Nathan Ssekandi.pptxNathanMAJIDU
This document discusses a lecture on social determinants of health. It defines social determinants of health as the conditions where people live, learn, work and age that affect their health. These include cultural, socioeconomic, living/working conditions and social/community networks. The lecture emphasizes that health promotion must address the root social and environmental causes of poor health. Improving living standards, equitable access to resources, and measuring health inequities are key to promoting population health. The document provides examples of how policies, environment, gender and other social factors act as determinants of health conditions and outcomes.
Today, you are introduced to the Social Determinant of Health (SDOH) perspective. This assignment responds to two questions, firstly “What is a SDOH perspective?” which will be explored in detail providing two examples of a Social Worker role. The second question requiring a critical discussion surrounding SDOH including “What benefits does a social determinants of health perspective provide, and what are its limits?”.
The document discusses key concepts in community health nursing. It states that community health nursing is population-focused and a blend of nursing and public health practice. It also defines important terms like community, population, aggregate, and discusses models for understanding health like the host-agent-environment model and health belief model. The roles of community health nursing include health promotion, rehabilitation, evaluation, and research for a given population or community.
This document provides an introduction to public health, including definitions of key terms, objectives, and an overview of the core functions and disciplines. Public health refers to actions taken to promote health and prevent disease within a community. It aims to assess health status, develop policies, and assure services that protect the health of the population. Determinants of community health include physical, socio-cultural, behavioral, and organizational factors. The core functions are assessment, policy development, and assurance. Related disciplines include epidemiology, environmental health, and health policy and management.
Health refers to the overall condition of a person's mind and body, including being free from illness, injury, or pain. The World Health Organization defines health more broadly as complete physical, mental and social well-being, not just the absence of disease. Health is influenced by factors like access to healthcare, lifestyle, socioeconomic conditions, and environment. Community health examines the health characteristics of geographic areas using tools like GIS mapping to study factors that impact community well-being. Environmental health focuses on protecting human health by addressing physical, chemical, and biological factors in both the natural and built environment.
The document discusses community health and provides definitions of key related terms. It explains that community health focuses on populations and geographical areas, examining health characteristics using tools like GIS. Maintaining a healthy community requires assessing needs through methods like community diagnosis, evaluating nutrition through anthropometric and dietary assessments, and implementing programs through a community health improvement process. While challenging, taking a comprehensive approach addressing various social and environmental factors can help communities work towards improved health.
The document discusses the social determinants of health and provides frameworks for conceptualizing them. It defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not just the absence of disease. Clinical care has less influence on health than socioeconomic factors and environment. The social determinants of health are the conditions where people are born, live, work and age that are shaped by money, power and resources. They range from societal to individual factors and are mostly responsible for health inequities. Both the Global Commission on Social Determinants of Health and PAHO Equity Commission provide frameworks and recommendations, including improving daily living conditions, tackling inequitable distribution of power/resources, and governance for health
The document discusses key concepts in US healthcare including:
1. US healthcare follows a medical model focused on treating illness rather than wellness and prevention.
2. Both social and medical factors influence health outcomes and disparities exist.
3. A holistic approach addressing social determinants through policies, community programs, and individual behaviors is needed to significantly improve population health.

This document summarizes evidence that social factors profoundly influence children's health. It notes that children are especially sensitive to social determinants, particularly in early years. Adverse early social exposures can become biologically programmed, setting off chains of risk that lead to chronic illness later in life. However, positive influences can promote better long-term health trajectories. Effectively addressing social determinants requires both direct social policies to reduce poverty and inequality, and indirect strategies that disrupt links between social risks and poor health, such as transforming child health systems to promote collaboration.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Conditions(social, economic, and physical) in the environment-
environments (e.g., school, church, workplace, and neighborhood) in which
people live, learn, work, play, worship, age and system put in place to
deal with the illness.
Impacts a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes
and risks.
These circumstances are in turn shaped by the wider set of forces; social,
political and economic.
The patterns of social engagement and sense of security and well-being
are also affected by where people live.

resources, social justice, and equity.
Improvement in health requires a secure foundation in these basic
prerequisites.
Advocate
• Good health is a major resource for social, economic and personal
development and an important dimension of quality of life.
• Political, economic, social, cultural, environmental, behavioral and
biological factors can all favor health or be harmful to it.
• Health promotion action aims at making these conditions favorable
through advocacy for health.

24. IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL AND CULTURAL
FACTORS IN HEALTH
In order to become a effective health professional, one must
understand;
The ways people think about health and illness
Individual behavior and habits that influences health
How you and your actions are perceived by the community where
you work
How culture interacts with environment, economy and politics to
affect health
11/21/2023 24
25. SOCIAL CULTURAL CONDITIONS
• Lifestyle which denotes the way people live ,reflects whole range of
social values, attitudes and activities.
• It is composed of cultural and behavioral patterns and lifelong
personal habits(smoking, alcoholism) that has developed through
socialization.
• Association between health and lifestyle of individual
• Achievement of optimum health demands adoption of healthy
lifestyles.
• Health is both consequences of an individual lifestyle and a factor
determining it.

26. SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC INDICATORS
REALTED TO HEALTH
Rate of population increase
Income distribution
Work conditions
Adult literacy rate
Housing
Food availability

27. Health equity
” The absence of unfair and avoidable or remediable differences in
health among population groups defined socially, economically,
demographically or geographically”
-WHO(2004), Department of Equity ,Poverty and Social Determinants of Health
-Health inequalities are socially produced, systematic in their
distribution across the population and unfair
11/21/2023 27
28. • Epidemiological research has clarified the nature and scope of health
inequalities through investigations revealing the existence of
persistent social gradients in health for a wide variety of health
indicators.
• Whitehall study (Marmot et all,1978) was pioneer in this regard.
• Whitehall Studies investigated social determinants of health,
specifically the cardiovascular disease prevalence and mortality rates
among British civil servants.
28
29. • This study went beyond confirming the longstanding perception that
the rich lives longer, healthier lives than the very deprived.
• It showed that even among relatively well-off members of the society,
a social gradient in health exists, with the most privileged category
showing better outcomes than the group immediately below, which
in turn enjoys better health than the category just beneath it, and so
forth.
• This gradient is observed for practically all diseases and health status
measures and across all segment of the socioeconomic spectrum
11/21/2023 29
30. • During the late 1990s and 2000s,evidence accumulated that existing
global and national health policies had failed to reduce inequalities
and indeed substantial progress in average health indicators had
been accompanied by widening health gaps between privileged and
disadvantaged groups.
• In recent years, public health’s responsibility to confront health
inequalities at global, national and local level has been increasingly
recognized.

31. Theories on social patterning of disease
1. Psychosocial approaches
2. Approaches that emphasizes the social production of the disease
(political economy of health)
• also described as materialistic or nonmaterialistic position
• Do not deny negative psychosocial consequences of income
inequality .
• argues that the interpretation of links between income inequality
and health must begin with structural causes of inequalities and
emphasize inequality’s material aspects, instead of focusing primarily
on perception of inequality.
11/21/2023 31
32. • The effect of income inequality on health reflects both lack of
resources held by the individual and systematic under investments
across a wide range of community infrastructure.
• Economic processes and political decisions condition the private
resources available to individual and shape the nature of public
infrastructure-education, health services, transportation,
environmental controls, availability of foods ,quality of housing,
occupational health regulations that forms “ neomatrial” matrix of
contemporary life.
• Thus income per se is but one manifestation of a cluster of material
conditions that affects population health.
-(Davey Smith 2003)
11/21/2023 32
37. • Richard Wilkinson have sought to link altered neuroendocrine
patterns and compromised health capability to peoples perception
and experience of their place in social hierarchy.
• Living in settings of inequality constantly forces people to compare
their status, possession, life circumstances with those of others,,
endangering shame and anger in disadvantaged, chronic stress that
undermines health
11/21/2023 37
40. CULTURE
• Culture is an umbrella term which encompasses the social
behavior and norms found in human societies, as well as the
knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities and
habits of the individuals in these groups.
11/21/2023 40
41. CULTURE
-“Culture acts as a template for the organization of social and
psychological processes, much as a genetic system provides such a
template for the organization of organic processes.”
- Geertz, 1973. The interpretation of cultures.
Culture is often described with an iceberg model, where there are
certain elements of the system, that are visible to us. However, the
majority of factors that shape our behavior lie well below the surface
of awareness.
11/21/2023 41
42. A system of thoughts & behaviors shared by a group of people
Cultural backgrounds have tremendous impact on our lives
contributes to the richness of human experience
an integrated pattern of beliefs and behavior
Varies from local group to group
Coexists with members’ individual distinctness
Is valued for itself
Endures and evolves

oMale child preferences(increased abortion-ill effect on maternal health)
oAvoidance of food during pregnancy and postpartum period(green
vegetables,meat-leads to anemia)
oDelivery by untrained dais at home(5% acc to NDHS SURVEY,2016)

58. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
11/21/2023 58
• The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a
better and more sustainable future for all.
• They address the global challenges we face, including those related to
poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation,
peace and justice.
• The SDGs encompass 17 integrated goals, including 169 associated
targets.
• The 17 Goals are all interconnected, and in order to leave no one
behind, it is important that we achieve them all by 2030.
59. oThe focus of these SDGs are on poverty, food, education, equity, and
empowerment of women, water and sanitation, energy, employment,
equity, finance, socially healthy working, and living environment.
o The Sustainable Development Goals set out an ambitious and
transformational vision for a world free of poverty, hunger (two main social
determinates of disease), and disease.
oThe SDGs position health as a key feature of human development
emphasizing the fact that social, economic, and environmental dimensions
of development influence health and health inequalities and in turn benefit
from a healthy population
11/21/2023 59
60. Conclusion
There is strong evidence indicating the factors outside the health
care system significantly affecting health,known as social
determinants of health.
Social determinants of health have direct impact on health
The current challenge today is just not improving average health
indicators but also reducing unfair distribution in health that exist
among social groups, between and within countries.
Public health should be concerned with strengthening health equity

GLOBAL FORUM FOR HEALTH RESEARCH
The rationale was for this conference was to build momentum within countries for the development of dedicated national action plans and strategies.8
Declaration no 7 point 4
Ottawa Charter (1986) highlighted the link between health and social factors calling for going beyond health services to protect and promote population health
-these Were moments in which special health needs of poor and vulnerable ppl and hence health equity as a policy goal emerged strongly in int debates.
(inorder to health care provider.one must understand
-Epidemiological study have shown that patterns of disease are socially produced.
-Two major school of thoughts have emerged.
1.Main contextual framework that affect inequalities in health
2.Highlights essential expression of social hierarchary(ppl SES locates them with respect to differential distribution of power prestige and resources in the society.
3.Social production chain of HE
3.Socioeconomic position influences peoples health by acting through more specific intermediatory
Educational attainment—defined as the number of years or level of overall schooling a person has—can influence health in many ways. This issue brief examines three major interrelated pathways through which educational attainment is linked with health—health knowledge and behaviors; employment and income; and social and psychological factors, including sense of control, social standing and social support. In addition, this brief explores how educational attainment affects health across generations, examining the links between parents’ education—and the social and economic advantages it represents—and their children’s health and social advantages, including opportunities for educational attainment.
