The Politics of the Social Determinants of Health Facilitators: Dennis Raphael, PhD and Toba Bryant, PhD Affiliations: School of Health Policy and Management, York University and Centre for Research on Inner City Health, St. Michael's Hospital Time: 12:00 noon - 4:00 pm Location: TBA Despite the increasing recognition of the importance of the social determinants of health and public policies that strengthen these determinants of health by academic researchers, civil society organizations, and the World Health Organization, potent barriers exist that make implementation of such an agenda difficult. These barriers include competing paradigms of health that emphasize biomedical and behavioural approaches to health, ideological commitments by governments to neo-liberal or market-oriented approaches to health care and social service provision, and powerful economic and social forces that oppose equity-based approaches to promoting health and well-being through the development of health public policy. This pre-conference workshop identifies some of these forces, shows how they influence government receptivity to social determinants of health concepts, and identifies means of transcending these barriers to implement a social determinants of health agenda.
