abstract: 'Background: A number of reports suggest that we need to determine public
understanding about the broad determinants of health and also determine
public support for actions to reduce health disparities in Canada.
Methods: A cross-sectional random survey of 5,000 Saskatoon residents
was used to determine knowledge about health determinants and health
disparity and then determine public support for various interventions to
address health disparity.
Findings: Saskatoon residents understand most of the determinants of
health except they understate the importance of social class and gender.
Saskatoon residents do not have a good understanding of the magnitude of
health disparity between income groups. A majority believe risk
behaviours are mostly individual choices and are not associated with
income status. Most residents believe even small differences in health
status between income groups is unacceptable and a majority believe that
something can be done to address health disparity by income status.
Interventions proposed by residents to alleviate health disparity were
evidence-based, including work-earning supplements and strengthening
early intervention programs. Logistic regression revealed that greatest
support for transferring money from health care treatment to health
creation services (like affordable housing and education) came from
young Aboriginal males with low income.
Interpretation: Saskatoon residents have knowledge of health
determinants and have a strong desire to support health disparity
intervention. More knowledge transfer is required on the magnitude of
health disparity based on income status. Broad-based health disparity
intervention in Saskatoon appears possible.'
