DAHLGREN AND WHITEHEAD AND BEYOND
The Social Determinants of Health in Research, Policy and Service Delivery
21st April 2005
Sponsored by the Society for Social Medicine and organised by the Cardiff Institute of Society, Health and Ethics, School of Social Sciences, Cardiff University. 

Speakers include:
Margaret Whitehead
Dennis Raphael

Sarah Curtis
Mike Kelly
Jennie Popay
Morton Warner

Over the last 15 years Dahlgren and Whitehead's diagram representing the main determinants of health has become emblematic of a more holistic approach to understanding health inequalities.  The diagram takes as axiomatic the real power of large-scale economic and social forces to damage health and limit behavioural change; but it also invites consideration of the different levels of practice and policy at which those forces could be blocked, modified or transformed.  In the subsequent period, research on social determinants has developed in different directions, and an understanding of how these determinants operate alone and in combination is still hotly contested.  Nonetheless, in many countries, including the UK (though by no means equally in its constituent parts), the dominant policy motif remains one of 'choosing health', often to the neglect of wider social and economic factors.  

This conference provides an opportunity to: 
*       reflect on the Dahlgren and Whitehead 'rainbow' 
*       review current knowledge on the social determinants of health 
*       consider what more we need to know
*       discuss what should be done in relation to the development of research, policy and service delivery.
