Thank you Dennis.

But all credit goes to those health units that were willing to take  
chances back in the day :)

> Abstract
>
> Actions to reduce health inequities by addressing external
> contributory factors, which are commonly referred to as the social
> determinants of health (SDH), have emerged as a recommended focus of
> public health practice. While facilitators and barriers to
> SDH-focused public health practice have been assessed at the national
> level, comparatively little research has examined the factors
> affecting the initiation of SDH-focused initiatives by local public
> health authorities. This study addresses this knowledge gap through a
> multiple case analysis of five Ontario health units that launched
> SDH-focused initiatives during a timeframe characterized by the
> absence of an explicit provincial mandate for this work.
> Collectively, these organizations also advocated for the inclusion of
> SDH-focused actions into the legally mandated functions of Ontario
> health units.
