Social Determinants of Health: the Solid Facts

      The booklet is part of a WHO Regional Office for Europe campaign
      to present the evidence on social determinants in a clear
      and understandable form.

      The campaign has been initiated by WHO Centre for Urban Health and the
      intention is to promote awareness, debate and action on the social
      determinants of health. The campaign aims to reach the widest possible
      audience of public health advocates and professionals, community
      activists and decision-makers. The booklet identifies the broad
      implications for policy in ten selected areas.

  ********************************************************************
  Long have I looked for the truth about the life of people together.
  That life is crisscrossed, tangled, and difficult to understand.
  I have worked hard to understand it and when I had done so
  I told the truth as I found it.

  - Bertolt Brecht
