To influence the structural and social determinants of health and advance health equity, public health must support power building in communities facing inequities. This Let’s Talk introduces community organizing as an effective and critical tool for building community power.
What are the factors that influence health? And, what are the opportunities for integrated, networked public health action at multiple levels? In this webinar, Pemma Muzumdar and Jonathan Heller, authors of “Let’s Talk: Determinants of Health”, will explore these questions and more, and reflect on the wider forces and systems that interact with the conditions of daily life.
This curated resource list highlights resources that support a broad understanding of how various factors that influence health have been conceptualized. The selected documents complement the NCCDH resource Let’s Talk: Determinants of health.
Informed by conversations with diverse thought leaders, as well as relevant peer-reviewed and grey literature, this Let’s Talk summarizes current thinking about the social, ecological and structural determinants of health. A tree graphic illustrates the underlying drivers of health inequities and supports reflective, action-focused discussion with public health professionals, policy makers and partners.
This installment of the Let’s Talk series introduces key concepts related to health equity and guides public health action to reduce inequities. This document replaces the 2013 resource Let’s Talk: Health equity.
