A growing body of knowledge has revealed the profound impact of the
social determinants of health—the social, political, and economic
factors apart from health care that influence health. The question
is no longer if social factors are important influences on health,
but rather how social factors operate and how to address them most
effectively, efficiently, and equitably. Social Determinants of
Health and Health Disparities is a comprehensive resource for
students and educators to understand the wide-ranging effects of
social and political factors, including racism, on individual
health. Drawing on Paula Braveman's seminal work in health equity,
this volume explains how upstream drivers like law and policy are
at the beginning of causal chains influencing health, and in
particular how systemic issues like racism are core drivers of
health outcomes. Each chapter examines how different social
determinants of health—such as income, education, stress, work,
and racism—are impacted by upstream social factors and how those
factors influence health and health disparities through complex
pathways. Chapters also include approaches for future practitioners
and policymakers to most effectively activate health-promoting
pathways while interrupting health-damaging ones. Complete with
chapter summaries and discussion questions, Social Determinants of
Health and Health Disparities is the definitive classroom guide to
understanding and addressing social disparities in health,
particularly racial and socioeconomic disparities.
