Social determinants, health equity, and mental health: A curated list

Cette ressource est également disponible en français

The National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health (NCCDH) has compiled and described 17 resources to support public health action on the social determinants of health and health equity as a way to promote positive mental health. The list also includes additional resources for users to consult.

The resources are organized into four categories: evidence and background information on key concepts, proposed actions at multiple levels, implications for practice and policy, and mental health inequities experienced by specific population groups. 

Use this resource to:

  • facilitate discussion about the intersection of socioeconomic and structural determinants of health and population mental health promotion;
  • consider how to address social determinants of mental health equity through public health programs, interventions and policies; and
  • develop a process to identify population groups experiencing mental health inequities and create strategies to act on the social determinants that contribute to these inequities.
