surprised?]

Select Highlights on Public Views of the Determinants of Health
CPHI is pleased to announce the release of the summary report, Select
Highlights on Public Views of the
Determinants of Health.
A key objective of the Canadian Population Health Initiative is to promote
dialogue on the determinants
of health. Essential to the achievement of this objective is an examination
of the public.s perception and
understanding of health and the factors considered to influence health. In
2003.2004, CPHI conducted a
public views project to study the Canadian public.s understanding of
population health issues. Select
Highlights on Public Views of the Determinants of Health discusses the
findings synthesized from the
following inputs:
. Secondary analysis of the Citizens. Dialogue on the Future of Health Care
in Canada
. Public opinion surveys: 2003 survey conducted by CPHI and a review of
previous
public opinion surveys on population health-related issues
Media monitoring of key national and regional newspapers for major health
stories
Analyses of these components indicated that lifestyle behaviours such as
diet, physical activity
and smoking were considered to be important health issues, while broader
determinants like
income, education and social support were less well recognized as factors
contributing to overall
health. Select Highlights on Public Views of the Determinants of Health
contributes insight regarding
the extent to which there is an opportunity to foster a better
understanding of the complex interaction
of determinants that affect individual and community health and well-being.
Select Highlights on Public Views of the Determinants of Health may be
