Social Determinants of Health: Canadian Perspectives
General editor,  Dennis Raphael
Foreword by Hon. Roy J. Romanow, P.C., O.C, Q.C.

Uniting top academics and high profile experts from across the country, this
contributed volume is the first of its kind published in Canada. It
summarizes how socio-economic factors affect the health of Canadians,
surveys the current state of eleven social determinants of health across
Canada, and provides an analysis of how these determinants affect Canadians'
health. In each case, the book explores what policy options would contribute
to better health outcomes, and how to ensure that these options are pursued.
Eleven critical areas are investigated: Aboriginal status, early life,
education, employment and working conditions, food security, health care
services, housing, income and its distribution, social safety net, social
exclusion, as well as unemployment and employment security. Gender, and how
its meaning is constructed within Canadian society, is another important
social determinant of health. All contributors systematically consider how
it impacts upon and interacts with their specific social determinant of
health to influence health.
