abstract: 'Cities are important sites for intervention on social determinants of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
health (SDOH); yet, little is known about how influential local actors,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
namely workers in municipal governments (GOVs) and community-based
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
organizations (CBOs), perceive the SDOH. Capturing and comparing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
perceptions between these groups are important for assessing how SDOH
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
discourse has permeated local actors'' thinking-a meaningful endeavour as
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
local-level health equity action often invokes inter-institutional
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
partnerships. This paper compares SDOH perceptions between CBO workers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in Hamilton, Ontario, with politicians and senior-level staff in GOVs in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Vancouver, British Columbia, based on two studies with surveys
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
containing identical questions on SDOH perceptions. Overall, there was
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
high comparability between the groups in their relative ratings of the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SDOH. Both groups assigned high levels of `influence'' and `priority'' to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`healthy lifestyles'' and `clean air and water'' and lower levels to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`strong community'' and `income''. Given the importance of a shared vision
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in collaborative enterprises, the comparability of perceptions between
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the groups found here holds promise for the prospect of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
inter-institutional partnerships. However, the low rating assigned to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
more structural health determinants suggests that more work is needed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
from researchers and advocates to effectively advance a health equity
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
agenda at the local level in Canada.'
