Webinars

Public awareness and support for the social determinants of health (SDH) can be a key driver for policy change to improve everyday living conditions and promote more equitable distribution of power and resources for health. Over the past few years there has been a concerted effort in Canada and elsewhere  to develop effective communications tools and resources that will engage Canadians on the concepts of the SDH and health equity. There are a growing number of tools and resources being developed by a range of organizations which reflect the realities of the local context.

This webinar will explore:

• public perception of the social determinants of health in the Canadian context
• the relationship between public opinion and policy change and
• explore principles to improve communications on the social determinants of health.  

The webinar will highlight principles to develop messages that consider the complexity and value-laden characteristics of the concepts.
