In its fourth edition, Dennis Raphael’s Social Determinants of Health 4E presents the quintessential Canadian exploration of the key factors shaping the health of the nation’s populace. This distinguished textbook is enriched by contributions from leading scholars and prominent experts across Canada. Adopting a public policy perspective, the authors delve into the structural inequalities embedded within our society and the socio-economic elements influencing health—including income, education, employment, housing, food security, gender, and race.
This updated edition features the latest statistics, developments in early childhood education, the launch of Canada’s national childcare system, and fresh insights into the social determinants affecting Indigenous Peoples’ health. It places a particular emphasis on how economic globalization and the prevalence of neoliberal ideologies are impacting Canadians’ health. The COVID-19 pandemic has starkly highlighted the significance of these social determinants; illness and mortality rates surged among vulnerable groups already grappling with adverse living and working conditions, such as low-income Canadians, recent immigrants of color, and individuals facing housing and food insecurity. If there is to be any silver lining from this ordeal, it must be the urgent acknowledgment of the socio-economic conditions that influence the health of individuals and communities in the post-COVID-19 landscape.
Social Determinants of Health, 4th Edition, is ideal for courses addressing the social determinants of health at Canadian universities and colleges, particularly within health studies, nursing, allied health, sociology, and human services programs.
