Social Determinants of Health: A Comparative Approach is a comprehensive guide that explores the numerous factors that influence individual health within communities. By focusing on population health, the eBook offers a macro-level approach that provides an adequate understanding of the commonalities and differences between Anglo-American countries like Canada, the US, the UK, and Australia, economically, socially, and politically. Starting with the basics, the eBook outlines the background, theory, and evidence required to view health from a population health perspective. In addition, it examines environmental factors like housing, employment, diet, and social factors such as gender and support, among others. The eBook concludes by highlighting the social patterning of health-relevant behaviour, the impact of social determinants of health on population health, and the politics of health-related policies. The eBook has been drafted in an easy-to-understand format, incorporating case studies and ‘Pause and Reflect’ boxes, alongside end-of-chapter questions, suggested readings, and websites, designed to involve college students.
