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.'
