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 webinar will explore the connections between food systems and health inequities and provide action steps for the public health community to advance food justice. Through an overview of core concepts and illustrative examples, attendees will be equipped with a deeper understanding of food systems and strategies to advance food justice at different scales.
Responding to inconsistent and vague interpretations of equity, the authors of this article make a strong case for equity science as a new approach to meaningfully reduce health inequities. This applied science focuses action on what the authors refer to as the determinants of equity.
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.
