About The Author

Alan Davidson

Alan Davidson

Dr. Alan Davidson is an associate professor in the School of Health and Exercise Sciences at the University of British Columbia Okanagan. He has served as the dean of the Faculty of Health and Social Development at Okanagan University College, director of the Population and Health Services Research Centre, and director of Health Services for the Yukon government.

Social Determinants of Health: A Comparative Approach, (PDF) introduces the various elements that define the health of individuals in their communities. The text takes a macro-level approach, emphasizing population health rather than strictly on individual health. Social Determinants of Health emphasizes on “Anglo-American” countries-Canada, the US, the UK, and Australia-examining the commonalities and differences economically, socially, and politically.

The text begins by sketching the background, theory, and evidence from a population health perspective. This is followed by discussion of environmental factors, like housing, employment, and diet, and social factors such as gender, support and well-being, and being an Aboriginal person. The ebook concludes with a summary of the social patterning of health-relevant behavior and the politics of health-related policy. Written in a simple manner, Social Determinants of Health further involves college students by offering case studies and “Pause and Reflect” boxes, in addition to end-of-chapter questions, suggested readings, and websites.
