abstract: 'There is considerable scientific and policy interest in reducing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
socioeconomic and racial/ethnic disparities in healthcare and health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
status. Currently, much of the policy focus around reducing health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disparities has been geared toward improving access, coverage, quality,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and the intensity of healthcare. However, health is more a function of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lifestyles linked to living and working conditions than of healthcare.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Accordingly, effective efforts to improve health and reduce gaps in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health need to pay greater attention to addressing the social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
determinants of health within and outside of the healthcare system. This
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
article highlights research evidence documenting that tackling the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social determinants of health can lead to reductions in health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disparities. It focuses both on interventions within the healthcare
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
system that address some of the social determinants of health and on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
interventions in upstream factors such as housing, neighborhood
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conditions, and increased socioeconomic status that can lead to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
improvements in health. The studies reviewed highlight the importance of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
systematic evaluation of social and economic policies that might have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health consequences and the need for policy makers, healthcare
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
providers, and leaders across multiple sectors of society to apply
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
currently available knowledge to improve the underlying conditions that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
impact the health of populations.'
